BACKFIRE Send us your comments! backfire@subiesport.com “...in my quest to tune my car to tear-up the middle east” Introducing the human element I was waiting for February issue anxiously to check out pictures from toronto subaru meet and of course to check the picture of my car. It was freezing cold that day and I was so sick with flu but I still went to the meet after washing and polishing my car. however, browsing through 82 pictures that you printed gave no results. There were 84 pics taken that day and you managed to print 82 of them. I don’t know who the other lucky person is, but I guess you didn’t have space to print another two small pics! Guess what? someone is not renewing his subscription next year. -Ugur Kumru Ed: Not that we exist to make everyone happy all the time, but we did run every single photo we received. There might be a million reasons why a photo or two might have been missed, but we did not intentionally cut any photos. Hopefully, all the great content we do provide will make up for your being left-out. no 1.6-l l8vin, m3n? that’s bs, yo! (note: this letter has been left unedited.) I recently bought a brand new 2007 Impreza. I was reading your 2007 June artical “stI Vs ZeRO” <strong>FPO</strong> well my car is indeed a zero as mine is in the Middle east with a tiny “1.6L motor with 105 hP” it’s a great car it takes a beating form the roads there Send pics and info to rides@subiesport.com and drifting is only possible going into a turn on sand.

It really isn’t much, the one in the car a after market. because the Car is a n/a like mine and i but something I am proud of and something I hope to share with the do plan on installing nos on my car in the middle east and i want to remap subaru community. Please let me know. Thanks. the car for the different gas there but when i email CObb they told me you can’t remap the car unless it’s a turbo b.s i say if you can remap the eCU it -Kevin bui shouldn’t matter it should be able to do my eCU as well your input would Ed: We have been getting a rash of these letters lately, so it is time to school be much appreciated in my quest to tune my car to tear up the middle east all you Rides’ hopefuls. Simply send in a brief description of your car streets and sand Dunes with a mod sheet, include your name and any other funny or interesting - steve allam information about your car. Most importantly, include a few hi-resolution photos and email the entire mess to: rides@subiesport.com. That’s it. Rides’ Ed: Steve, Cobb is indeed correct as currently we are unaware of any reflash submissions are taken on a first come first serve basis. Also, just because programs or products available, like the AccessPORT, for the 1.6-liter Impreza. you submit does not mean we will automatically run your car, it’s the luck Your best bet is to pick up a good-quality piggyback like AEM’s fuel and ignition controller or the Greddy eManage. The issue is that Subaru tends to use a differ- of the draw. Thanks to all who submit and keep them coming. ent ECU for each new year and model of car, so a 2004 WRX ECU is different than that of a 2005 Legacy necessitating a completely different product for each generation of ECU, hence, no reflash for your 2007 1.6-liter Impreza. A pig- OOPS! Though we’re normally paragons of accuracy, we did have a couple mistakes in the previous issue (Feb/Mar 2008). First, the photographer of the Arizona meet was Scott Sykes, thanks for the great pics. Second, photo WA 021 (Page 45) is Jon Green gyback should work for what you want to do, or you can look into a stand alone and his girlfriend, not Kendrick Gray and his wife. Lastly, the Reader’s Ride submission ECU like the AEM or Hydra. on Page 15 was from Adam Wright, not “Adam Write”. 14 July 2008
