  1. Hey guys I got rid of the Subaru this last week just wanted to stop in and thank dale most of all for all the help. After a motor rebuild I decided I couldn't continue my trek because it would cost more and more and I just wasn't willing to keep forking out money I have a family to take care of. I actually ended up with a 2013 Kia optima for less than I was paying for my WRX. Thanks all for allowing me to hang in the lgt crowd. I still have some spare parts laying around mainly a stock IC and a VF-46 (55k miles no shaft play) and a stock boost controller. Also a k&n drop in filter and electronic boos gage that matches lgt gages. I will make a fs thread soon with the parts an lgt could use but I wanted to let people here know first before I went to a wider spectrum. Let me know if you want or need anything we can work out a deal. Cheers and thanks again for having me here

  2. Yep off to the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Rex is running again I had a semi successful night at the track running a 8.422 1/8 mile at 87 mph. Still working with a rich tune and need some fine tuning but I think I'll get better. I'm working on suspension now that I'm satisfied with the power

  3. http://img.tapatalk.com/4c176ce2-83de-b1f6.jpg here is my box o goodies. 20g, ewg setup, fueling and new EBCS. Since I know it's gonna be hard to get tuned by Eric for this setup I'm in sc I was gonna go protune at a local shop.

     

    What map should I use to limp to the shop after I get everything in? Or do I need to call them and get one? I really want to roll around awhile and make sure she's ready to go on the street but I know with that list o mods I need a tune badly. Please let me know.

  4. Just a quick update I know this thread is rarely used but I still like this community better than the WRX community cause there are more helpful people over here.

     

    Anyways I've decided to go bigger. Sitting in my garage is a 20g turbo. On the way are DW850CC injectors and one of the new DW65c fuel pumps. Since the 20g is an STI style turbo I had to buy a new hose for my TMIC to make it all work. THe turbo is also used for 1500 miles and the IWG was welded shut so I also have on the way a new 38mm EWG setup with TIAL MVS EWG. Along with that I also bought the GS EBCS. I have a 4 day weekend upcoming so I plan on ripping the car apart and reassembling her to get all the mods in that I have mentioned above, and I'm still waiting to put my STI Pinks on. Its going to be a good month of june and hopefully by july after getting a tune and such I'll be pushing around 400awhp. If anyone has experience doing injectors or EWG please send me a pm I would really appreciate some help so this goes off without a hitch. Thank you!

  5. That weekend will be tough for me I'm on my night schedule. I've decided to go e85 I sold my old turbo and some other parts so I will be getting injectors and a fp and doing the work soon. This weekend I should be installing my pillar pod boost gage and Sti pink springs.

  6. I'm down for a get together if y'all will have a wrx in the mix. Got all my parts finally so I'm looking to get them installed next week and be full stage 2 running 18 psi on my vf46 with the upgraded tmic and full tbe. So really I'm a lgt trapped in a wrx body when it's all said and done. Oh and hopefully close to 275 awhp and over 300 awtq

  7. I live on the weapon station actually I just don't like the help that's here at this ahs. That an I did a vf39 swap and an exhaust swap and they made me do it in the bay outside out back. Right before dark too. I just ordered my tmic and cbe exhaust so I plan on doing it next Wednesday or Thursday after I get off my mid shift

  8. Oh so my upcoming work is new tmic, vf46, Perrin front dp, gutted back dp, and cbe. Hopefully with all this I can be close to 300 awhp that's my goal til I can save for a vf52 and all the support to go higher but I'm 27 and a father of 2 so I think 300 will satisfy me.... But probably not

  9. I actually just bought the top speed motor sports tmic and cbe for my wrx tonight so I have a big project ahead when it all gets here just gotta find somewhere besides the auto hobby shop here on base to do it all. I bought the front Perrin dp with cat and plan to just gut the 2nd cat but I'm not sure I could get away with that locally in any shop but I pretty much need a lift to do all the exhaust.

     

    Torqued performance is actually in Colorado and Eric specializes in 3 gen wrxs. He does e tunes for both ap and open source. He gonna do my maps for all the work I'm about to do.

     

    Hope to meet some of y'all soon.

  10. What's up just wanted to drop by and say hey. I joined the forum about a week ago because I was looking for a decent VF46 to replace my crap TD04. So here I am. Yes I have a wrx and not a legacy. But since mine is an 08 its pretty much an LGT with a different body.

     

    Not a lot of mods yet. Just some tint, cobb AP protuned by eric from torqued performance, perrin catted DP, and now a VF46 that should get here today. Eventually if I have some off time from work I will get the DP and the VF46 installed. I'm saving up for an exhaust system, short throw shifter, and eventually I'll start redoing the fuel system so I can drop an STI turbo in there. Overall I'm saving for a new tranny as when my glass box shatters I want some PPG Dogbox action so I can really boost the power. I just got this car about 2 weeks ago so it hasn't been on the street much. I will be in the SC area for about another year until I transfer back to another aircraft carrier probably in VA. Thanks for taking time to read this. I keep up pretty well on Tapatalk so send me a PM or whatever whenever you want and I'll reply. I would really like to go to some events if ya'll wouldn't mind a WRX in the mix.
