Sunny purchased his Impreza STi three years ago as a completely standard car. As is often the case in the world of Subaru ownership, the pursuit of the flat four rumble meant a stainless steel exhaust was the first modification to grace this Impreza. Peering over the top of the slippery slope a GFB blow off valve was swiftly installed and then came the quest for more power which saw an ECUtek ECU remap, …
You don’t earn the nickname ‘Fast H’ by dawdling about. Fast H, also known as Harry, earned his ‘Fast’ stripes thanks to a history of rapid motors. A true petrolhead with a penchant for speed, Harry’s white 2007 Hawkeye Impreza STI takes centre stage in his collection and wears the “F9ST H” number plate with pride. Originally purchased four years ago …
Static car shows are great. However, there is something special about events at which the driving / racing / drifting is the core of the day. Perran drag and drift at Spitfire Raceway in Cornwall never disappoints on this front. An opportunity to test and stretch the legs of your car up the drag strip is simply exhilarating. The multi-layered …
You may recognise the name ‘Rumblebox’ from one of our previous features – Jonny’s superb FXT Forester. Meet his latest project: ‘Mouse the MX-5’. But to be precise, this one belongs to Aimee, his partner. As a purchase for Aimee, Jonny wanted to ensure it was reliable and running well. When purchased from the previous owner it was completely drift …
Jake has owned his immaculate Impreza STI for six years. Originally bought as a fairly stock car, Jake worked on bringing the exterior styling to his taste, adding some new wheels, BC coilovers, full splitter and underskirt kit, uprated discs and pads along with some other cosmetic parts. Jake informs us that it ran perfectly fine up until 100k miles …
It’s not uncommon to spy a classic Mustang lurking in amongst the modern performance cars down at Enginetuner headquarters. Regular visitors will immediately recognise John’s stunning blue ’67 Ford. That’s because we’ve been lovingly maintaining, modifying and lightly restoring it over the past 14 years (at least!). John, like most others, continues to be a loyal customer to Enginetuner, bringing …
Sam contacted us after having a Haltech Elite ECU wired into his Forester STI. He already had it tuned but it wasn’t quite right. The previous tuner had reported some difficulty in getting the variable valve timing to work and it was left in a non-operational state. After detailed discussions over email and telephone, we booked Sam in and he …
It’s 5.15am on Saturday. The coffees have been consumed, the team are ready, the cars are prepped, polished and poised – Castle Combe Summer Action Day here we come! Summer Action Day is always a great event but there was extra excitement for us this year – the grand reveal of Enginetuner’s nitrous-fuelled Impreza demo car in its new livery. …
After a year without car shows, it is great to see car shows making a comeback as we approach ‘normality’. But one show stands head and shoulders above the others – Goodwood Festival of Speed! Unfortunately, Goodwood is a bit of a trek from Plymouth so it was another silly o’clock alarm call. We set off at the crack of …
The early bird may get the worm, but when it comes to a weekend lay in, the philosophy is usually the second mouse gets the cheese. However, this weekend offered a day of drag racing and drifting, so the alarm was set for stupid AM. Winner, I am awake before the alarm, coffee consumed, gear packed, and good to go …
