Car is coming along very nicely.

STI-LOS · 03-13-2008, 09:36 AM

Thanks. Yeah its getting there cant wait to order up my 20G

STI-LOS · 03-13-2008, 08:04 PM

Ordered some gold bbs touch up paint to cover up some light curb rash.. It didnt totally match but good enough I guess the rash was on the upper left corner

STI-LOS · 03-15-2008, 07:22 PM

Finally got to wash her.... Also installed the Varis Exhaust Shield nice fit the rivets are a PITA cause my rivet tool sucks but it went on pretty smooth i will post pics when I get my DIGI cam back..

STI-LOS · 03-22-2008, 06:32 PM

Did some more mods... Added a Maddad Boost Guage and a AEM Uego with the autometer bezel nice setup, the maddad guage is great for 100 bucks matches perfectly..

Also got the suspension on I did

RCE Black Springs
Whiteline Sways 24mm F&R
Whiteline ALK
WHiteline Steering Rack Bushings
Kartboy Links
Group N Top Hats

Car feels super tight , the springs are nice you feel the road alot more but they are not harsh.. I didnt drop the car much but I wasnt looking for a hge drop it handles NICE really Nice.. Can wait to mount up my new Hankook Ventus RS2 and get her aligned and she will be good...

STI-LOS · 03-23-2008, 11:23 PM

Oh forgot to mention i added the Cusco Motor Mounts and Tranny mount and WOW what a difference, I mean I had the damn liquid filled ones.. But what a diff on how the cars feels super tight...

Got my une on the 21st .... And it was great, had John from Precision Tuning and he did a awesome job. We were there till 11pm and at no time did he rush he just kept doing pulls to get me a little more here and there and just making it super safe and awesome.. We made 316Whp/355TQ

WOW does she pull.... What a tune.. And just for reference my previous #'s is on the graph and look at the difference with the Injectors... Yeah we ran more boost 20PSI but we couldnt get her above 17.5 with the stock injectors last time.. Injectors are one of the best mods... Fuel and Air thats what the STI needs..

Next mods - Ohlins Struts, X-Brace, 20G Ported, EWG.....

STI-LOS · 03-25-2008, 01:28 PM

Here is some pics of the most recent mods.. Nicked the CF sheild with the first rivet... damn

you can see in the pic.. The car sits nice with the RCE Blacks not to low or anything but a nice stance.. Also the Autometer bezel is nice, I dont like the Defi Pod and al I wanted was a Boost Guage and a AFR..

STI-LOS · 03-25-2008, 03:15 PM

Just an update with the helix DP vibe problem. Before it was rubbing against the tranny crossmember bad sending a nast vibe at 3000rpm on decel, after the Cusco Motor and TrannY Mounts it went away

They also tightened the car so much by far the best $225 I have ever spent, if you need motor mounts get these..

MKTURBO · 03-25-2008, 08:15 PM

i see that you have almost identical power mods as me, making about the same power...anyways do you think the gt-spec headers made any difference, how do you like them? and how are the cusco engine mounts?

I think so especially top end wise, I think my TQ numbers are because of the headers. It is a little tuff just cause I put everything in at once and got tuned so its not like I added the headers and really felt the diff you know.. But they aslo sound AWESOME

.. But by far the two best mods I have made were the 740cc injectors and the Cusco mounts what a diff dude the car is so tight you feel it right away. As soon as the tune was over, cause they also installed the mounts I got on her and you felt no play.. It just feels like it shoudl if you know what I mean.. By far one of the best mods.. Get em you wont be dissapointed..

STI-LOS · 04-01-2008, 09:51 PM
