lookin good.. so let me get this straight. You bought the car and it had a Cobb TBE installed on it and had no EM? You bought the AP later on correct.. i hope this hasnt had any ill effects on your engine.. Oh and since you got the kartboy endlinks you might as well get the whiteline sways and complete the package..

yea, thats correct. I havent ran into any problems at all. My engine seems perfectly fine. I read up on the rumor that having a TBE and no AP would hurt the engine. From what I read I should be fine.

Should I really do the sways? I was thinking about some Tein sport springs for the summer as well...

honestly you will find that most people would suggest you not waste money on tein springs, maybe you can get away with there coils but there springs are more for looks than performance.. About the sways most will tell you that sways are the best bang for your buck on suspension mods and i would look into the RCE Blacks or Yellows or even the STI Pink springs as those are much more performance orientated and will make you happy around very windy roads.. hope this helped

Just got my new muffler from COBB. I had a slight rattle in my previous one, so they made nice and sent me a replacment.

Nice and shiny for the summer.
