Ya... you are right.... if mod cannot scare.... if scare then stay stock..... lolzz..... advise to the new FNA bro...

 

Mine coming 1 year, electrical warranty also over, but the one as mentioned is MI void the whole car warranty.... [sweatdrop]

 

Anyway, the pivot throttle control is nice toy..... meet the acceleration as you needed, rather than only I or S mode two option... which I is under power, S is power but not comfort.... now can adjust the power n comfort of drive.... not bad! [thumbsup]

Hi Titanic,

 

Indeed x2 ...

 

For NA cars, ethrottle and pivot brand is the best ..adjustable incabin comfort until song song and it stays as default until reselected.

 

Forget about rschip and other monkey modules ... on nshway when petrol is cheap .. sp4 and above pls for safety.

 

Cheers.

Hi Titanic,

 

SP4 or perhaps SP3 is the usual sweet spot with notable kick down but not overly gas guzzler ... something that I see often.

 

Eco ?  Stock is already eco or with eco mode if available ... this ethrottle is for a bit more spirited driving else using eco is probably unsafe liao.

 

No, my fxt also cannot go eco and it is default to S mode instead of usual I mode via Blitz SI Jump Starter mod.

 

Cheers,

 

Richard

Can ask if you pair the cusco touring A with stock springs or pink springs? Yours is FXT or NA?

Neither. Pink springs too high for my liking. I’m on RSR springs which lower the ride by abt 1+ inch. Matches the Cusco dampers very well

 

Mine is FXT

Hey James,

 

You are the 2nd fxt bro with RSR and Cusco Touring A that I know then.

 

Lower and nice fierce stance .. though harder than pink springs.

 

Pls sharing your cusco touring settings and ymmv of course since butt sensitivity applies .. need to check with kaki for exact but think at cusco's so-called default factory's 22 clicks which is actually stiffer according to kaki else stock dampers suffice liao.

 

Cheers.

Not sure if anyone asked this question before.....

Does it mean that if the COE goes down after we book the car, we will get the car?

But if the COE goes up after we book, we won't get the car?

Again seeking for all the Subbie experts here .  Getting my new FNA (outgoing model) need your help . 

 

I am likely to have $1 to 1,25k  of credits to buy accessories based on  list attached can share what would you get and why? 

 

Really appreciate your inputs , thanks in advance : ) 

 

I have in mind to do the Blackvvue (400),  autofold mirror (150),  alarm and speed lock (330+30),  autotint sunroof (150) can give your advise if I miss anything important out?

 

I don't understand why we have to pay for car alarm...is that a standard thing? or is it outdated and useless, that's why it's optional?

The pursuit for comfort drive has indeed not be easy for our ride. Cusco A is probably my last mod before deciding that the only way is to change car.

If you pay for guaranteed COE, up or down COE will not affect you, 100% sure you will be secured COE n car...... [laugh]

 

If go for non-guaranteed COE, when COE down, MI bid low n save money, you will get COE very soon... when COE go up, AD need to bid more exp COE, cost increase, you may not able to get COE after all the non-guaranteed bid offer by them..... [smash]

 

In the current movement of COE for the past 1 year, you no need to worry about this issue, sure will get... juz a matter of time only..... [:p]

It’s not that uncomfortable just not luxurious enough....

Hi xefera,

 

Kaki sold his fxt after trying suspension mods for a while cos his wife needs to sit in the rear with kids and gets car sick :(

 

Driver and front passengers in the middle of the front and rear senspension not too bad but rear passengers gets the brunt since sitting right on top of rear suspension needing designer to have big variation due to varying load especially stiffer setup of fxt :(

 

Guess some have sensitive butts but kaki changed to A7 ..lol !

 

Cheers.

Hi guys, new Forester owner here (outgoing model FNA).

 

Does anyone here use their iPhone to play Spotify through Bluetooth to the car stereo?

 

I have this problem where the screen will show the track title of the first song I play. After that, when the song changes, the track title doesn't change. Still stuck on the same first title. I can listen to 10 songs and still have the same first song title displayed.

 

I can skip songs using the steering control and the head unit, but display still won't change.

 

Surprisingly, I did a test with another Android tablet that I owned, using Spotify. It works perfectly and the track title changes on the screen. 

 

Mine is an iPhone X. Anyone else has experience with this or any possible solutions?

 

Actually I just spoke to Motor Image service advisor, who simply said that it doesn't work with Spotify. Just hoping someone here may have better insight! Thanks!

It's an Amazon Kindle Fire 7" but not sure exactly which build etc. I actually also searched forums on Google and it's quite a common problem with Subaru Starlink, apparently with no resolution. Actually the service advisor said it works with Apple Music but I have no desire to switch...

Hi Rainman,

 

Depends on past experience and expectation but from mixed comparison of sanny, qashqai, mazda 6, odyssey and estima owned in last 10 yrs, it is the worst on ride comfort .. at stock.

 

Not sure if you had heard of any car .. sedan, suv or mpv with so many owners changing rear arb of various make from subaru wrx, cusco, whiteline, ultraracing etc. ... lol !

 

Cheers.
