I need a stock tmic if anyone has one.

i dunno. something cheap I can pay cash for. Im not going to be around much for a while, and I cant justify having a car payment. Probably just get an old truck of some kind.

My car is up for sale in the classifieds yall... '09, 33k miles, 360whp, $22.5

i know the ritz-epps route. no fun.

 

Uhg. **** the Ritz epps route. I had to run those routes for time so much. running in sugar sand blows.

 

Im happy to be back up north in the land of hills and rocks.

crap...i have to install these tomorrow, i hope subaru has the nuts in stock....

If this gauge could be switched on/off, have numerical wideband read out in the center, and then the boost gauge LED with reference marks along the border, it would absolutely be the perfect sleeper set up...just make sure its not too bright at night. Some LED gauges are as bright(or brighter) as the cluster is on full...too bright imo...

 

kudos for good work here, keep it up.

and i send the money where? i'm definitely in the market for something like this. guages on the steering column is too crowded for that space, the cubby pod is reserved for my future navi setup, and i'm scared to play with the a-pillar due to airbag housing. keep us posted man

 

If the air bag is the only thing holding you back from an a-pillar housing, dont hesitate. You wont have any issues with it.

be interested to see the cost....looks good.

Being stage 2 doesnt make this a better idea what-so-ever.

no and no. it just ends your muffler a little earlier. The only effect on economy is if you are constantly revving your engine to hear it. and rev you will. especially next to ricers at the stoplights.

 

:lol:

 

I find that hysterically ironic. "you will rev, especially next to ricers at the stoplights"

 

You just unbolted your exhaust to make it louder with absolutely no performance gains at all what-so-ever....who's the ricer? at least the fart can on the honda made a few hp

 

You guys kill me

Just run an open downpipe dump out the side of the engine bay if you want to be really cool. You will save big compared to that expensive PVC idea you are sportin'.

 

Pft. Unbolt the turbo back and let that bitch go for real!

thats awesome...hey guys what about a full catback exhaust?? We can call it the Lowes Brothers Power Twin Exhaust system. Get like, 3.5" PVC pipe to replace the mid pipe, and then at the downpipe junction, get a PVC reducer. get some sort of insulation so it doesnt melt up there, then use a T-junction for the ypipe and run like 2.5" pvc out the back of the car. You could duct tape it to the exhaust hangers and paint it black or grey. It would be cheap, and probably sound AWESOME....

Unless I am mistaken the exhaust gasses have to "leak" out somewhere or the engine will not run. - Some choose to use an expensive less restrictive muffler, and some choose to have some of the exhaust gases exit before reaching the stock muffler thus creating less restriction. And finally there are some who just leave everything the way it is and let the exhaust "leak" out the stock tailpipe. - each to his or her own, but ya gotta think outside the box sometimes.

 

 

This thread is full of absolute win. Keep it coming guys! edit- someone try this with the downpipe/turbo junction...make a hogzawst DP....

I still cant get over the fact that people think creating an exhaust leak is a- cool b- a good idea or c- is a "mod"

 

Usually I see people unbolting their exhausts and driving around right after they spray paint their interiors with krylon.....

nice set up...i just cant get myself to buy springs and shocks when for the same money i can get coilovers.

 

Granted, I did just springs (eibachs) for now, but as the stock struts wear, Im putting on some coilovers....just couldnt swing it with everything else going on right now.

^ you should get a custom tune now. Then you'll see even better numbers.

 

Forgot to check this thread. Yeah they commented that the car seemed strong. Ive got a full TBE and Ividia EL header waiting, and Suby Shop is taking care of me for a bunch of other stuff. waiting to get my header and my down pipe sent to Grimm for coating, and hopefully itsme's IC kit will be dont soon, as well as seeing what BNR has up their sleeve. Epic will be supplying a boost solenoid and a fuel pump.

 

I didnt want to waste time bolting on this bolting on that tuning this tuning that, so the plan is go to right to a 3+ all at once and get a tune and be ready to roll. Dyno's will follow immediately

That WBR intercooler is nice....

 

as far as the white one is concerned...when did we start trying to make our legacy's look like a4 s-lines?

I guess they are.....wonder what I can get a set of those for....

I guess I should have posted mine here instead of the other forum...oops..

oh yeah! cant wait for a Suby meet man..im itchin

yeah bils are hd. I dont have any pics. If you want to keep close to stock look I would go with eibach or Rallitek. they seem to have the least drop.

 

Im not sure which shocks the eibachs were measured on, im guessing LGT though. Ive looked at getting Tein's but had more than one distributor I was prepared to order through steer me away because of quality.

If you have the spec B/bilstein set up, you should be fine on HR springs. Its too low for stock LGT struts.

yeah subyshop had some info on them. Told me not a good idea to run on stock struts. I worry about dropping the car too much and taking the usable wheel travel away.
