Fullerton's 05 AW STi w/P&L GT30R Turbo Kit – New TiC Pedal Set - Page 40

FWIW- To run the TiC SSTs (or any other op adjustable CO) in the rear with an x-brace you'll need to cut a bit of the X-Brace's top away. This is even more necessary with the Vorshlag plates.

Unfortunately, the X-Brace top makes it so you can only adjust the plates when they are off the car. I set mine in the center and that worked out just fine.

I guess that's the price you pay for stiffness. It'd be nice if CarLabs made a compatible top.

Interesting thing happened yesterday.

I get in the car for my morning commute and my car struggles a bit to start. I mentally note it and have an uneventful drive to work.

I go out for lunch and it similarly struggles to start again. On the way back to work she turns right over.

When 5:00 rolled around I was a bit apprehensive about her starting. First try: NOTHING. I try one more time for the hell of it and she starts after a 1/4 turn. At this point I either go buy a new battery or call in sick tomorrow.

I picked up a new battery at the local Sears, swap'd it out in the parking lot, gave them my old battery and I was on my way. I am pretty sure this will fix the problem, as there was never a battery light lit in the cluster. My understanding is that means the alternator is bad.

Either way, I made a bit over 3 years/48,000 miles on that battery, which I do not think is bad.

New oil report back:

The trace fuel is most likely because Noah needed my attention while shw idled to heat the oil some.

snorky · 07-30-2008, 05:51 PM

was this the same oil you had in the engine @ the last track day?
