Dropped off yesterday morning and shoved through it's MOT in the afternoon.

UEL on a twin entry turbo is interesting. I thought it was best to stay equal.

Mine is sat in port at Rotterdam. Next stop Portsmouth. Used Ryan @ Club Japan imports. His fees are very reasonable.

What software are you using to check it? I've not done anything on cars newer than 08 yet.

Mine just started up the coast of Morocco. Reckon it'll be mid December before I get it on the road. First task will probably be putting 99 octane in and doing some pulls to make sure it doesn't knock!

Might take a while for TFL to catch up on it. If it's newer than about 2006, I think you''re safe. I had a 2006 BP5 Legacy and that was fine, as is our SH Forester XT import. My JXZ is on an 02 plate....that attracts a charge.

Is it just the one little 'thump' type jerk when accelerating gently, or does it do it multiple times?

What year / model is it? Sounds like you have a 2.0 going by the £355. If it's come in without needing it's emissions testing, it'll just be taxed under the old pre 2001 tax bands. So £220 if it's 1549cc or under, £360 if it's over 1549cc. ULEZ zones tend to be OK if you're newer than about...

Obviously a different box, but our Forester had this until I did a full flush of the trans fluid. I *think* it was the clutch pack on the transfer case 'dragging' a bit and leaving the rear wheels locked in. The Levorg box has much the same setup.

Last seen just south of Madagascar...

I think the 4th gen is probably the peak overall, but the 3rd Gen is very 'Subaru'.

My Legacy and Forester both came with stalks that have provision for a rear fog light. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm if the Levorg already has one?

Some bits arrived. Some bits on the way. Car is on the Indian Ocean at the moment ;)

Going with a VMG-KV8 I think it's: 26300AL010 front disc 26296VA050 front pad 26700AL010 rear disc 26696AL000 rear pad You can usually use the Subaru part numbers to work out an OE equivalent from a brand like Brembo. Please please please double check the codes above!

I think early on in the thread someone mentions that the size you're talking (245 50 18 on an 18x8.5 ET55) was an optional fit in the UK on the Levorg. It's the WRX STi wheel fitment. Offset (or backspacing) is how far away the face of the wheel that meets the hub is away from the center line...

Ta :) - Can't beat real example. I can do the offset stuff in my head, and I've run through this thread and looked for the maximums mentioned, but don't have a reference car to measure up on to see what might catch! If you're running a 245/45/18 with a 40 offset OK, I'd be tempted to jump up...

I actually saw a Levorg on the road for the first time this weekend. I get plenty of Subaru waves in the Legacy, but not so much in the SH Forester (I guess people assume it's a UK diesel). They run a twin-scroll turbocharger. For those to run efficiently, they exhaust pulses need to arrive at...

Not yet, no. Car is still on a boat somewhere! For what it's worth, i've seen plenty of Levorg with WRX STi rims and that stock tyre size on.I think further up the thread someone mentions they're a factory option in the UK. They're offset 55 though (from memory) - it's the 42 i'm unsure of.

I was just looking at the non pro version. As cool as adjustability is, I never know what to do with it. If there's a 'good' fixed recipe to follow, that's what I prefer. The Tein H.Tech spring kit for the Levorg lists 5.2Kg front and 5.5Kg rear. A lot of comments on them not being stiff enough...
