I had similar issues with General tires in the past. I was on 235/40 vice your 235/45 though. Do you by any chance store the car/tires for a prolong period of time? I was instructed to get the tires remounted and if that didn't fix it I would have to purchase four new tires. In my case though I was already pass the warranty period. Hopes this helps.

Talk about sleeper. Hope you got at least 5k out of it.

CA can now determine if your ecu has been remapped and when so it is an automatic State Ref. You are very familiar with my car, as you know it would never run on OEM mapping. I decided it was time to move on. In other words CA broke my car enthusiast spirit at least for now. If and when I leave CA perhaps I'll go down the rabbit hole once more. For now I'll stick to mods that are CA friendly.

Hi Mike I ended up selling the Spec B (I know). The new owner was impressed with the build quality. Thanks for all the help throughout the years, hope all is well.

My brother is in that neck of the woods. Just moved right before the pandemick started. Maybe I drive it over ?

Gentleman. I've made the difficult choice of selling my Spec B. I now have to decide how I want to price it. No matter how much I think about it I will most certainly lose quite a bit of money. My hope is someone here in the forums will jump at the chance of buying a really well sorted Spec B with top of the line parts. This decision was not made in haste, nor is it an easy one. All this to ask you Legacy gurus what you think its a fair price for my Spec B. Here's a short list of the main components but not all. Vehicle Specs: 2007 Spec B Forged SB ( CP 9.0:1 Compression Pistons) Outfront Motorsports Custom Rods (Equal to or better than Manley Turbo-Tuff) Dom 1.5 XT-R, 10CM, 2.4 Inlet, Internal Wastegate ETS FMIC KSTech 73mm Intake with heat shield TGV deletes with phenolic spacers Secondary Air Pump Delete AVO Inlet Killer B Holy Header w/ uppipe Grimspeed Catted Divorced Downpipe Infamous Stromung V2 Exhaust Grimspeed 3 port EBCS DW 1300cc Injectors DW300 IAG Fuel rails (Ran in parallel) Southbend Stage 2 Endurance Clutch STI OEM SM Flywheel Delicious Tuning MK2 Flex Fuel Kit with custom dyno tune from Bill himself. Accessport V3 Gramlights 57DR (17 x 9 +38) RCE Tarmac T1 Coilovers Stoptech BBK (Front & Rear) JDM Double DIN (With Pioneer Radio) There's a lot more but these are the big item mods. The chassis has a little over 205k miles. Engine somewhere in the 15-20k miles. Thanks everyone.

I almost did the Outback hood when I swapped to a fmic, now that I've seen it done I wish I had.

Do you stil have the front passenger Spec B door card? Thanks

You have described my situation down to a T. California has been working towards destroying our industry/hobby for over two decades now and I'd argue they are within grasp of their goal. At this point I would be better off buying a car that already sits at over 350 whp from factory and focus exclusively on suspension mods and wheels. Otherwise if I'm to remain in California and continue to enjoy my hobby I'll have to start projects based on vehicles from 1994 and below.

I have given this serious consideration, I have family in Florida, Maryland, Arizona and Louisiana. So far Florida leads the race. Push comes to shove I might actually ship the car out to Florida, put it into my dads name and use it when I go visit. That would be a shame though since it would only get driven maybe three times a year

So.... Here I am considering the crazy idea of selling the Spec B and moving on. I absolutely love driving the car and have zero issues with it but for one thing; the ever more stringent Kamifornia smog laws. I have no clue how to price the car either. It has over 30k in improvements and no, I'm not naïve enough to believe I can recoup all of that but I also don't want to "give" the car away. Decisions, decisions....

I wonder how they compare to my Stoptech setup. The price is great for those looking to upgrade from factory. Thanks for sharing

Front axles are, but the rear Spec B axles are hybrids in order to work with the R180 diff in the rear.

Has anyone tried one of these on a Spec B?

False alarm.... In my rush to get the car done for retuning I reversed the turbo coolant reservoir lines By the way I immediately started wishing you were still in business. Almost jumped the gun and bought a closed deck to use with the V25B cylinder heads that I'm still holding onto.

Not too deep..... New radiator caps and right before burping it realizing two coolant lines were reversed (re-installed wrong ). Fixed the issue, burped the system and began testing. 6 psi, 11 psi, 18 psi, 24 psi (x4) and the issue never resurfaced. Coolant temps also never went over 199*F.

Turns out my head gaskets were fine and the issue lied somewhere else. Needless to say lesson learned.

So...... Anyone want to buy a 500WHP Spec B with a potential headgasket issue?

Does this mean the car will pass an OBD2 scan? If so this opens the door for those of us dealing with smog.

Same here, especially if it means I can get away with a similar swap in Cali.

Unrelated to the Spec B, but..... Went and got my wife a 2020 Palisade. Very very nice SUV for the money in my opinion.

I think I'm just looking for things to do to it, lol. I'm glad we still got you to speak some sense.

While on the subject.... How much oil were you topping off between changes? Currently I have to top off around 1/4 to 1/2 a quart between oil changes. I'm debating if I should start seriously considering running an AOS.

So the last few days have ben eventful to say the least. For starters I removed the oem fuel rails in exchange for IAG variants. In the process I decided to send out the injectors for flow testing and cleaning after input from some of you here. The focus of this post will be exactly that. I've been running straight pump E85 for about three years now. The first few months I would do a tank of 91 octane every other fill up or so but the power and smoothness of E85 eventually won me over. At this point I would periodically add Lucas Oil E85 stabilizer and ran the Chevron injector cleaning solution at least twice a year. I had the injectors cleaned and flow tested previously three years ago, when I initially had the car built. I have the results at home for the testing three years ago. For now I'll share the latest results. Before Cleaning; Injector 1: 1029cc/min Pattern: Dripping Injector 2: 1187cc/min Pattern: Fair Injector 3: 788cc/min Pattern: Dripping Injector 4: 995cc/min Pattern: Dripping After Cleaning; Injector 1: 1250cc/min Pattern: Excellent Injector 2: 1251cc/min Pattern: Excellent Injector 3: 1249cc/min Pattern: Excellent Injector 4: 1250cc/min Pattern: Excellent Moral of the story; For those of you running pump E85 full time it is a good idea to send out your injectors for cleaning and fuel testing at least every other year.

Agreed
