Thanks. The oil cooler is from Process West. Nice and easy bolt-on kit.

Thanks guys. Clap, my rear camber plates are on the way from Japan and the roll center adjusters are here. As soon as evrything shows up, I will get the install done and shoot you some more pics and info. Thanks for everything. Oh yeah, looks like I will be running in SubieFest3 since they are having it at the big track at Willow Springs Raceway this year.

So my car is having issues. Started getting a CEL Tues. night and AP would not read it. Drove it to the alignment shop and then drove to my buddy's tuning shop. Car died once on the way. Funky idle like it has cams. He pulled the codes and they were both AVCS codes. He logged it and showed 0 activity for the AVCS. He then proceeded to go through the Apex'i AVCR wiring to the ECU. Nothing wrong. He tested to see if the solenoid was getting any power and it only registers 1.2 volts, should be seeing in the neighborhood of 6-10 volts. He thinks it might be the ECU. Already pulled the AVCS filter during my install. Going to swap my buddy's ECU in and see if that changes the voltage values??? Any ideas?

Looks really good , cant wait to pick up an 05' for my self.

T3h_Clap · 03-14-2008, 06:47 AM

the solenoid is still good though?

Also for the 05s just be aware of the immbolizer and the married AP and all.

not sure if it will allow you to swap out another ECU.

subwrxkid · 03-14-2008, 07:20 AM

how much was that battery, pretty sick.

You never got the car aligned? It's still poking in the back.

modaddict · 03-14-2008, 01:36 PM

the AVCR shouldn't have anything to do with your OEM ECU. correct? How do you have it wired? Are you using the existing power from the OEM boost control solenoid?

Not going to try to start it. Just want to see if it will make a difference in the voltage we are seeing at the solenoid plug while the key is in the "ON" position.

Unsure, my buddy wired it and all five wires go straight to the ECU wiring. He did a great job though but I really think my problem lies there. It would just be too weird to see both solenoids go at the same time.

Battery kit was purchased from the AMS website. I did get a quick alignment yesterday but the only thing I can use for camber adjustment in the rear are the adj. lateral links. Not what they are really intended for (more for toe adj.). It pushes the bottom out (and the axle away from the diff.) but when my camber plates arrive, we should really see a difference up top.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

those black rims outside the muffler place? where did you get them?

05cgm · 03-15-2008, 08:13 AM

Bought them from a private seller. They are Volk CE28N Time Attacks.

thanks man those are sick wheels.

T3h_Clap · 03-17-2008, 06:24 AM

you really need camber plates or bolts to pull in the top of the tire.

05cgm · 03-17-2008, 08:31 PM

Yeah they are on their way but are still a month out. Can't wait.

**Sully** · 03-18-2008, 02:35 PM

nice stuff man, really like what you are doing, keep up the good work

Bump for tune results.
It was supposed to get tuned on the 23rd, correct?
