Was his TS tune pulling timing because of the ****ty gas and leaner AFRs?

It seemed to be running fine by my standards, as far as the fuel goes, but I'm not a tuner. I'm trying to soak up as much info as I can though. 5th and 6th gear on the TS tune... Another issue...

wing looks good lamer.

That wing better be at the paintshop, since we don't see pics of a test fit.

Test fit failed. I need to find a WRX. That 202 rep. wing either had wrong hole locations, or the new wing has wrong hole locations; it won't mount to the holes...

I might go to the Prodrive meet/install here pretty soon to borrow someones WRX so I can verify which wing is wrong... My guess is the 202 rep was wrong. I don't know for sure.

That SUCKS! Sorry man.

Keep us posted on your findings. How are you going to fill the holes in your newly painted trunk?

La Mer · 03-24-2007, 11:02 AM

Well... the 'good' thing about the holes is that the new wing will cover up the incorrect holes... Still sh***y though :\ I need to find a WRX to get the ball rolling again.

PS I am really liking the painted wingless look right now

Cool, then a couple of rubber plugs will do the trick to keep anything from leaking.

I don't give a tinker's damn what you think of that wingless trunk. S204 wing or BAN!

EDIT: But if you really don't want it anymore, I call dibs.

La Mer · 03-24-2007, 11:07 AM

No I REALLY want it, I just got a bit discouraged when it didn't fit. It WILL go on there.

**nandanrp** · 03-24-2007, 08:06 PM

Damn, that sucks. Too bad the timing for the 204 wing was basically like days after you drilled your CF trunk

Went out to Lake Havasu over the weekend:

Middle of nowhere...

Gotta love desert storms.

My bad side...

There's a flag up there somewhere.

LightWerkz · 04-02-2007, 09:40 AM

awesome location for pics!

**nandanrp** · 04-02-2007, 09:58 AM

Nice shots Garry!

Did you plug those holes in the lid for the trip?

**boondocksaint** · 04-02-2007, 09:59 AM

Wing.

or.

BAN!

La Mer · 04-03-2007, 10:08 AM

no I didn't plug the holes for the trip. Infact, it has been through three car washes with the holes exposed

The wing is heading to the paint shop today after work. F the holes; it is what it is, and I know how to use a drill... New meaning to lightweight: drilling m'er f'in holes.
