yikes, i think i need a shower from all this...er...love.
(why do i feel like i just spent a weekend at humpback mountain?)

update:

cutn edg will be down for a week of renovation, exploration, maintenance and installation including:
- competition concepts cf center pod and defi gauge set
- hardwire sirius
- staticx grounding kit
- slotted brembos, fresh pagids and motul 600 (we've been putting it off because the stock rotors and last set of pads weren't toast yet)
- motul competition ff tranny/diff fluid
- element tuning competition catch can
- crucial racing 160 degree coolsafe thermostat (http://www.crucialracing.com/products/coolsafe.php)
- alks, gt spec fender braces and wl subframe bolts?
(depends on how much work we have this go round)
- general maintenance pass

we're going to track down a persistant engine noise that sounds like an idler pulley or something and the oil issue once and for all. unfortunately, that means pulling the motor - tomorrow. i have a day to decide if i'm upgrading the cams to a set of dpr stage2 acvs cams while we're at it. where's davenow when you need him (isfh).

i'll know more tomorrow.

meanwhile, i thought i'd post up this nifty new element tuning competition catch can. now THIS is a catch can.

Mmmm, slotted Brembos. I saw those in the new Subie Sport and they look good.

Now that your original thread title has been plagiarized, I believe this is the next logical step:



I will be acquiring this shortly for my bone stock 2005 STi. Thank you.

Yo Bruce, Take some good pics of that catch can install... I really was waiting for a good cc product to be made, it looks we have one! Curious to see where those large a$$ hoses would connect on my car?? Let us know if its worth the nearly 300.00 sell price.

update to the update:

i just finished ordering a set of dpr stage2 cams to compliment the current engine setup and in anticipation of this project going completely bonkers when when we add aquamist (h2o/alcohol/methanol/nitromethane) injection, c16 and up to 30-32 psi this spring...yikes. 600 whp looks pretty doable from here. according to phil, it will be safe to get the car down to him for a road tune with existing tuning as long as i keep it below 5k rpm down to maryland.

i guarantee the trip back will be more fun than the trip down.

sorry, man, i was totally amused (i'd put one of those thumbs-up characters in there but it's against my religion).

i'm a little too focused on the ball right now. 4:20's coming so that could change quick (isfh).

did i mention i just ordered cams?
