Attempted uppipe and downpipe install yesterday. Leaks Off to the exhaust shop... Clutch install? No problem. Hack apart my struts to install koni's? Timing belt? Head gasket? Cake. But try to fit aftermarket exhaust and I'm hopeless.

Koni sport shocks with h&r sport springs. I think I'm going to go with the smaller whiteline adjustable rear sway bar. I'm happy with the amount of roll right now (i.e. not much, as you can see in the picture). I just want it balanced more towards oversteer. No point in getting both bars. http://i.imgur.com/pvYrYNQ.jpg

Had some good fun at an autocross this weekend. Not the usual set up, more informal fun kind of day. Gave us 1 warmup lap and 5 timed laps per "session" or run, with 2 runs. Fastest single lap time wins. More like a mini-time-trial. Anyways, here's my video: And also, the results... http://www.clemsonscc.org/autox_results/2013-05-04/fun_raw.htm Notice the Scoobie for the Mature (that's me) ahead of all those Miatas... Mwahaha. I need an RSB.

Hey, bought mine in Georgia as well. So I got my springs and struts installed. Wooo! What a difference. The car handles road imperfections mid-corner amazingly. Granted, my former ride was a mid 90's Mustang, so not the best of comparisons... But I love it. Now I just need a tune so I can throw this uppipe and downpipe on... Anyone going to the autocross/car show this weekend in Greenville?

I've used one of these many times... Worth its weight in gold, in my opinion.

Yeah... I found a few records from New York in the paperwork that the PO gave me, which would explain why there's more rust underneath than I was expecting for a 7 year old car with only 58k miles, though it's been registered in Georgia its whole life. Now to find a propane torch..

Well I got the fronts installed. Couldn't get the bolt holding the shock to the a-arm off on the rear PB blaster and an electric impact gun were of no help. I'll soak it in PB Friday night and try it again next Saturday.

Well alright then, I guess I'll be cutting into them. I'm done collecting parts and ready to get everything installed... I have koni yellows, h&r sport springs, sti up pipe and cnt downpipe waiting in my room for a wrenching weekend

Does anyone have some blown front struts they wouldn't mind donating to me? I feel bad cutting into my perfectly good front struts to install these koni's... 58k miles on these.

Awesome, would love to see you there. If enough people from a club pre-register (10 I think) you can get parking together and space to set up a tent. Otherwise if you all just roll in at the same time the parkers can get you together. I'll probably be autocrossing my car

How much are you looking to get for it? By the way, I already posted in this thread, but.. My name is Tyler, I'm from Clemson and a part of the Clemson Sports Car Club. I'm new to the Legacy scene (just picked up an 05 with 57k miles, was stock). The Sports Car Club is having a car show / autocross in Greenville -it would be awesome to meet some of you guys there! http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/april-20-clemson-motorsports-festival-greenville-sc-201957.html

Not sure if I posted here or not, but I used a friend's Tactrix Openport 1.3 (the official cable) and it worked like a charm. I can still use the vag-com for learning view, flashing, etc but for logging you may just need the real thing.

I did this after reading about how replacing the battery fixed it. I don't think I have the log anymore, but voltage was constant throughout the pull.

I had this same problem. Are you using a VAG-COM cable? I borrowed a friend's official tactrix openport 1.3 cable (threw on two ferrite beads I had attached to my vag-com cable for good measure) and had no problems getting WOT pulls. Also - reporting in from Clemson SC

^ I'd like to hear it. Does it drone at all? How's it for daily driving?

Has there been any progress on this in the last year? I'm having the same problem. Bought a vag-com cable off Amazon, spent a few hours futzing with the drivers and such so now both ecuflash and rr are happy (I can read and flash, and I can log as long as I'm not WOT >~4500RPM). But, as with the guy above, all my logs seem to cut out between 4-5kRPM and then come back after the pull is over. RR doesn't crash, and has no trouble continuing to log once the ECU starts responding again. I've tried 2 and 4 ferrite chokes on the cable, and it still doesn't work. I can drive around to my heart's content, but the second I go WOT and let it pull, it dies... This on an Alienware Windows 7 home edition laptop.

Sounds like you bought a fixer upper?
