Any word on creating a teaser video for '08/09?

ClimberD. I'm driving my car cross country July 25th or so, as I'm moving to California. I'd LOVE to have VB mod in time....

See OpenSSM stuff for 4eat. You can re-do line pressure with that for the 4eat.

Yay!

Just followed a de-badged red 05 LGT Wagon from sudbury onto Edgell RD in Framingham and then on to Prospect st. What springs are you on?

Was more trying to be funny. I'm watching doccrowley's video and drooling over what you can do with the 08+

I wish I was on a waiting list.....

There is a good reason for hadvw's observation, how far the contact point is in the button. The stick up/down selection triggers with 1/4-1/2 of the range of movement, so it's already shifting when the stick hits the end of the track. The button must be pushed all the way. I've used both the paddles and stick on my 08, and the button and stick on my wife's 05. The difference is perception.

Glad to see this your understanding of the way the VB works can only get better. The better this is, the sooner we my have an 08+ mod

Maybe, but I'm already in line for the 08+ VB mod, as I am dying to see what effect it has on this setup. I'd love to re-dyno once there is a prototype or candidate for this.

Honestly? No idea. Bottom line, in the butt dyno, it feels fast. If I get around 3200 RPM, I rarely hit peak boost, because on the street, it's too fast for that. At least on winter tires EDIT: FYI 650cc DW DP, UP GMS Cat back (stock mufflers) RacerX FMIC Walboro FP AEM CAI EBCS and of course, VF52 TRUCOOL tranny cooler

That looks awesome. I'm sure when your car passes 4400 RPM it flies.

Heh, I "Only" have a VF52. Dent Sport's dyno produces the lowest readings in the northeast. Lower than EFI, ESP, etc. Despite that, yes, that is 400 lb-ft at 3100 RPM. Point is, I almost never make it redline street driving. Lifting off on shifts is a way of life. The delay from the TCU doesn't help though. EDIT: https://picasaweb.google.com/107596502778874744799/DynoGraphs?feat=content_notification Those are the same dyno. Most of those cars are bonkers, but there are a few "sane" cars to bias it on. WRX swapped CG8 (stg2) at 211hp. STG2 STI at 277.

7:45AM, saw a ABP GT wagon heading west on Central st in Framingham.

I like your pink avatar. EDIT: I had an IPT VB, replaced by stock VB under warranty. Honestly, I don't notice a difference. I'm patiently waiting for this.

Nice, Invidia Q300?

Black 05-07 LGT at REI in Framingham with quad tip exhaust

Awesome.

In other words, if you were lucky enough to buy an 07, you get SI drive, and ClimberD can mod your VB. If you have an 08....Well, time to wait a bit more.... http://d37nnnqwv9amwr.cloudfront.net/photos/images/newsfeed/000/181/813/1726009-shut_up_and_take_my_money_super.jpg?1317708806

Thread was about electrical failure, not mechanical. For electrical failure, that is melting a voice coil due to heat buildup, box design does not matter.

Exactly. above statement clarified

No. Not accurate. Box is irrelevant for power handling. Bottom line, 1000w rated woofer will only take 1000w. If you run more than 1000w through it, it'll blow. However, 1000w is a shit ton of power. (Technical term). The 1200w amp will likely have the gain turned down a lot, which means that the power output never exceeds what the woofer can take. It's very typical to have an amp with higher ratings than a driver, but the trick is not to turn the gain up enough that you exceed the power level of the driver. Boxes don't matter to voice coil heat build up. A box design won't stop a voice coil from melting.

No, it was trying to shift, it said "3" on the dashboard, but hadn't shifted yet.
