Question.

Looking at the COBB stumble fix install guide, it says to install the FRP with the vacuum port on the bottom. But most of the images I can find on this site have the vacuum port on the top, is there a reason for this?

Anyone else having problems with their nexus 7 thinking its still charging when the car is off. Ive switched 12v's new step down converters and reinstalled the timurs rom and all with no luck. I have literally manually unplug it for to stop thinking its charging. Maybe a internal grounding issue?

I ran into that about once a week, couldn't figure out it out, I suspect there was enough of a draw/trickle in the line that the tablet would think it was still plugged into power and not go into a deep sleep. I fixed it by installing a little kill switch on the console down on the driver's side, hidden by the front edge of the seat. Works great.

Thanks that is perfect, but I want to buy the alcantra that matches the seats I have.

 

Would it be the black Alcantara, grey Alcantara #102, or grey Alcantara #103

 

The seats I picked up are grey out of an 08 spec B

Send Andrew over at Zealous a note asking about that, he might be able to help.

Had their boots on a couple of cars now, nice stuff.

That's awesome!

I had a similar mounting strategy with the brackets in the back of the tablet.

I choose to mount the USB hub under the shifter trim so that I could add/remove devices as needed without removing the tablet.

I love that you figured out ways to invoke the buttons, that will be very useful over time.

OK guys and gal's we are now Balls deep into 2017 and i am looking for a nice sounding exhaust (of course) and i like the look of the HKS hi power(even know I'm 40 shhhh) but i really don't want some crazy drone exhaust when I'm on the highway traveling to kick some PDGA azz....I have listened to all kinds of videos and like Borla and also Magnaflow but they both have clamps not flanges and this scares me especially because I'm in the salt belt....Sooo does HKS really Drone your ears to bleed??? And does anybody know of some other good AVAILABLE exhausts out there?

I have the HKS Silent Hi-Power with stock mid and Invidia catted downpipe on my 2005 wagon. Love the sound, it's there, but not too loud. There is a little drone around 2200 rpm, but for highway driving >65 it's nice and quiet. I used to have a set of 5" Nameless axleback, one of the best sounds for accelerating, but the drone just killed me on the highway. Overall, I'm much happier with the HKS Silent Hi-power. If you go that route, remember that in Japan the rear bumper is shorter, so if you match your body style, they will be tucked up a bit (unless you replace with a JDM bumper, which I'm planning to do at some point). The wagon set will be a little longer and may fit better on a US sedan, but I haven't seen it in person.

Just curious - any advantage to getting the LTE Nexus? Can it be added to an AT&T prepaid plan where we never use all the data, to do things like nav? Or surf the web when NOT DRIVING?

That would be useful for sure, I couldn't find one for a reasonable price when I was looking, so I tether to my iPhone for Nav and streaming on trips.

Also, does the OTG cable/hub work to attach extra storage? SSD attached to USB adapter? If so, getting the 16GB version shouldn't be that bad, right?

I have two 16gb USB drives on a small hub off my 16gb nexus 7 (2013), works great!

Are you running aftermarket or stock mufflers? Mind posting a 3rd gear pull so we can run it through virtual dyno?

 

Fwiw jojorios I'm also not running a full TBE, which helps immensely I'm sure, if I get an aftermarket bpv I'll report back, still kicking that idea around.

I'm running stock mid-pipe and HKS Silent Hi-Power axleback. I can try to post a 3rd gear pull when I get a chance. Though I'm wondering if it's not going to help because I just realized that I'm an '05 w/ VF-40 and most of you are talking about a VF-54 setup for 2010-14.

I wonder how many members who purchased another brand downpipe had boost issues and if they had an aftermarket or oem bpv.

I have an Nvidia Catted downpipe and would see peak boost around 15.5lbs with stock BPV and 16.2 with a GFB BOV. No overboosting issues with this setup. Thinking maybe if it was a catless, but that the HFC provides enough restriction to keep it at bay.

Thanks for the pictures and walkthrough.

Took me just over an hour start to finish.

That hanger puller trick was perfect, was able to pull each of them out with that.

I kind of like the rear sitting a little higher, but front is too high. I'm not sure if that's the Bilstein's doing or if that's the wagon springs at work. According to FSM measurements front should be 381mm from hub center to wheel arch, I'm at 395mm right now. Now didn't measure the hub center to wheel arch on stock setup but I did measure ground to wheel arch. And right now it's about 20mm higher then it was on 130k stock setup. That's almost an inch higher up front, I wonder if sedan really is lower, or if my springs are just sagging so much.

 

According to Edmunds Sedans have 5.9" of ground clearance (even Spec b with 1" taller tires/wheels) and Wagon's have 6.1". I wonder if the front springs are indeed taller too.

 

I might be swapping my sedan springs up front to see if they lower the front back down... If it doesn't perhaps Spec B springs are shorter, which means they might be a cheaper lowering alternative for LGT guys.

 

Impressions

Even with the car sitting a little higher, these setup is phenomenal, these really impressed me with how well they handle the road.

I ran into the same thing on my '05 wagon with JDM Bilsteins, I was told it was because they are spec for the 6spd tranny which is heavier. So the front rises a little bit on ours.

Wouldn't we need an actuator that has a little bit longer range of motion? To open the flapper more, wouldn't the arm need to move further? Longer doesn't do you any good with the same location, because then it may not shut all the way. The VF-46 on my bench needs to extend the arm to open the flapper, I'm not seeing how shorter would be better.

(Maybe it's been a long day and I'm not firing on all cylinders...)

Little range time.

Loving the CGW barrel bushing on my P-01.

10rds, <1 sec between rounds, left handed (I'm ambidextrous) at 7 yards.

No complaints, any issues are the shooter's fault; I still haven't lived up the gun's potential.

Step 1: Understand Maryland's gun laws.

After that, it was me, I would pick up a CZ 75 or Compact/P-01 and a Kadet Kit (Assuming MD will allow it).

That way you get an excellent platform with the ability to train on .22 and still shot 9mm with the same frame when it's time.

If that isn't an option, Penquin has a really good point on the .357 revolver and I would second it. Learn the basics on a solid platform, then explore. Get a class, rent a couple from the range, practice, have fun.

Here is my '05 LGT with 160k miles on her.

JDM Taillights and rear hatch garnish

Bunch of other little stuff.

This works fine for my Nexus 7 2013

Ohio sounds like a land of FREEDOM!

Come to TN I'm about to renew my carry permit to a lifetime permit for $200. Plus, the state passed a law earlier this year that if a business posts a "no firearms" sign and something happens to the carry holder who wasn't allowed to carry, the business is liable.

Have any you guys shot the CZP09 yet? I've been trying to find one to shoot locally. I love my M&P but CZ makes some nice stuff too!

I haven't shot a P-09 yet, but had a P-07 for a long while. The P-01 is my favorite and EDC though, rotated with the RAMI from time to time.
