forum law dictates that pictures of said part(s) must be posted, in situations like this.

No can find, that's weird. Could've sworn I saw something about an S402 with them.

For half-credit, here is said factory brace on an STi:

No need to worry, I won't be posting anything of me.

I ain't scurred! Post away

If they are available for our model, I would recommend fender braces to tighten up the front. The strut tower bar will be amplified with fender braces. Typically a cost effective mod as well.

Not only are they available, but the mounting holes should be pre-drilled. Some JDM variants got braces, stock. S402, at least.

More pistons don't equal greater stopping power or more stopping force. Just more evenly distributed and better modulated.

Stopping power is almost always limited by the tire's grip on the road, not the brake caliper's clamping force on the rotor. Stock 2-pots with old fluid can trigger ABS, or lock up the tire, no problem.

Its a 2002 Coupe with a 6mt !

Sorry fat fingers here, 4200 not 3200. Don't think the US ever saw the 3200.

Awesome that it's a 6MT. I sold Masers for a while, and I never got to drive that car without the car-ruining Cambio Corse transmission

But it ended well with a few friends , together we make the Axis powers

And, just like in WWII, Italy is broke and can't contribute anything to the effort.

What is that Maser, a 3200? I didn't think any were left on the road.

Did you do a compression test when you did plugs/coils? Might be a tired motor, on it's way out... or maybe you have a good bottom end, and good compression, but tight exhaust valves. Both are common scenarios at higher mileage on these cars.

I wouldn't do a timing belt job on the car until you know what you're working with.

Gator, it's like your mechanic (i.e. you) doesn't know how to tighten AN fittings

Wife's a keeper, tho!

I don't sell cars, I sell engines. The cars I throw in for free since something has to hold the engines in...

When I was on the 93 tune, DAM would kind of do what it wanted sometimes and FKL was always doing things. I thought it was normal though. Could I just really be getting bad gas all the time and the tun doesn't like it? Again, isnce i switched to the 91 tune nothing has moved.

Sounds like your tune is too aggressive, or you have a mechanical problem somewhere. Since switching to 91 alleviates the problems, it's probably the 93 tune that's the culprit. Unless you're really putting terrible gas in there. Where do you fill up?

You never want to see changes in DAM. Only light feedback knock (no more than -2.8) and the occasional FKL of -1.4 is within the "normal" range. Anything more es no bueno.

Start with the basics of proper logging. TA put together a nice .pdf which I've attached. Do an Idle, Cruise, and WOT log as per their instructions.

With DAM at .75, and feedback as high as -12, I'd be looking for a mechanical issue, but I'd also get in touch with a good tuner to help you pinpoint it. Speak to them before logging more, as a few WOT runs with big knock can definitely do some damage...

I see your manifold/crossover heatshields also resemble artifacts raised from the Titanic

Not hurting anything, but those rattles can be a source of phantom knock. Definitely the case for my car.

There is no food in that bowl, wtf is she going to eat? That chickien in the background?

Exactly! She's looking at me like... SAY IT

I tend to side with penguin and the dad on this one once a dog bites a human especially a kid and when food is involved it is not to be trusted.

I've always tried to train my dogs from first feeding that food is a privilege not a right. They don't like it at first but they learn.

Food goes in the bowl and dog stays seated until EAT command. Always be able to re-claim the food once they've started eating it, too. At any time I can reach in and grab some food or push the dog away from their meal and stand in front of it. They will sit back down until I say EAT again.

In this pic I'm pretty sure she's waiting for that command

That torque mountain is the clutch slipping. It's a lie (just like the cake)

 

My plan is to see how Rhitter likes the Exedy. go easy on it, and maybe even ask for a less midrange boost map after we finish dialing it in. I'll probably have to roll on the power more carefully for the next revisions.

 

Your clutch is only slipping at what would be peak torque. I'm talking about all the rest of it!

Exedy is good and dependable stuff, as long as you stay somewhat mild.

Very nice power!! That torque mountain...

What are your plans for the clutch? You can make your current one last if you stay out of the go-pedal, but what fun is that?
