wow awesome stuff

i might be able to pick up a used x-brace, think its a little much for a DD? or is it awesome

Chris05STi · 05-18-2008, 05:37 PM

Nah, I didn't test drive the car yet with it in there. I am currently undergoing "other" projects in the car for stuff thats coming in this month. For DD, I wouldn't think it would be a killer, just help the rear end stay firm! I say do it, you own a STi, F' it!

Billy - Get your X-Brace installed already!!!! I wanna hear how much FUN you have doing it ahah.

STI-LOS · 05-18-2008, 06:57 PM

Looks good, glad it fit with everything...

Chris05STi · 05-18-2008, 06:58 PM

^Thanks again for every!! It took some freaking time to get it to align up, but eventually I got it!!! Hows your car running? Is she all done yet?

Nah they had some trouble with my APS TMIC fitting with the DOM 3.. That got fixed just needed a longer elbow.. Then they said the controller for the Meth Kit started smoking when they gave it power, they claimed the controller was fried

I mean I talked to the owner of Devils Own he said they are all bench tested before he ships them out, so go figure.. But anyway he was pretty cool he just sent me a brand new controller no questions asked, overnight too.. So I am hoping for Tuesday or Wenseday for the Tune... I want my car backv

Chris05STi · 05-18-2008, 07:51 PM

Damn, smoked the controller?! Its not that hard of an install, maybe they reversed the wires

. Glad to hear everything finally worked out, can't wait to see what she puts down!!

Yeah I mean it could be a defective controller, but whatever it happens just want my ride back you know... Yeah I am curious too on the power.. Hey do you run a dual nozzle setuo with your meth or just a single nozzle. I am contemplating tell Precison to put a second nozzle on there..

Chris05STi · 05-19-2008, 03:01 AM

I am running a single M10 nozzle. When my turbo goes in it will be a M15 nozzle.

***VSGTS14*** · 05-19-2008, 06:23 AM

wait what? i've had an xbrace on my car for like a year, you freakin n00b.

Chris05STi · 05-19-2008, 06:38 AM

^Oh I thought you said you didn't put it in...whatever, I worked on my car and helped Steve yesterday for 10 hours....so I was kinda out of it ahha.

After thinking about the Spec-C tank, I plan on getting some "C" clips with a bolt and nut to secure the tank on there instead of zip ties. I think this will be a better option if it works. Don't get me wrong, as funny as it sounds, the zip ties will do the same job, but I hope the "C" clip trick will do the trick, that and it being metal vs the plastic zip ties. I will hopefully get that done today.

Looks great

Makes me want an xbrace as well

Chris05STi · 05-19-2008, 09:06 AM

^Thanks Alex!!!!! I love your stuff btw, they look like OEM but wayyyy better. The arm rest is sooo nice because of the extra padding while driving. Def worth it, and I suggest if anyone gets the arm rest cover, get the extra padding as well from Alex @ Tenth Street JDM!!

**edoperformance** · 05-19-2008, 09:14 AM

I've always wondered if the X-Brace fits along with the Spec-C tank. My questions have been answered! Thanks Chris!

Now I've got to order me an X-Brace!

Chris05STi · 05-19-2008, 09:16 AM

Danny whats up? Not a problem, yah heavy duty zip ties work. But I def plan on checking out the metal "C" clips that come with bolt holes, just use a sturdy bolt with a nut and it should do the same trick. The tank is really on there, def won't move around!
