Hahaha the pit stain really makes the pic

Here's my son a couple weeks ago at my old office visiting my old team. 10 weeks old and he looks like he's put in a 60hour work week and needs a scotch.

Wow. That is beautiful.

Those looks so tall! Congrats on the purchase though

Have you read the power road blocks sticky ? Lots of great info in there .

My idle is kind of rough and rather stinky. I have gotten comments from strangers and coworkers that my car is running rich- **What is your afr at idle ? The car does not take the clutch as well. I haven't stalled it yet, but there are a lot more close calls. **Ask him to adjust the throttle and make it more sensitive The car is laggy. Full boost is around 3k rpm, where it used to be ~2600- **What is the ambient temp? Could be the power limiting rule that adjusts the boost based on intake temp The car feels kind of like it's bogging at full boost. **Could be realted to your lean afr. The car only hits full boost (18psi) for a brief window, ~700rpm. **What rpm? Sounds normal due to our turbo design and size The AFR at full boost is ~11, shouldn't it be ~12, or am I misinformed? **12 is too lean. Mid 11's are safe The WGDC is flat, no increase in lower rpms or higher. (that would explain my peaky boost?) **Can't explain that. The transition from WOT to partial throttle, or vice versa is sharp and jerky. **Sounds like poor tuning and I'm assuming he didn't calibrate your MAF and TPS prior to tuning ? Less important note: I thought with the FMIC I could run a little more boost. I know PSI isn't everything, but it's weird to me that I'm hitting lower with more intercooling. ** The front mount won't allow you to run more boost. It will lower intake temps which will allow for more consistent numbers and maybe a little more timing. Our turbos are pretty much maxed at 18psi anyways . So am I crazy here? Do I have incorrect expectations? What are your thoughts?

I've had hubsentric spacers on my car for about 3 years now. I forget what sizes they were but I know the fronts are a different size than the back . I just took a tapemeasure to the lip of the rim, looked straight down the fender and based my spacer size off of that. It completely changed the look of the car. Now they will be retired as my winter set up since I've bought +35 offset rims.

Thanks!!

Reviving old thread. I'm picking up front Brembo calipers from an 05 STi. I noticed everyone is going with aftermarket dual drilled rotors. Is there any reason we can't just use a stock 04' STi 5x100 rotors? The 2004 STi 5x100 rotors are the same size as 2005+ 5x114 at 326mmx30 and share the same center bore as our car at 56.1. Seems to me like the would would just fine no?

Good luck! Hope she's back in order soon.

And you were able to use the stock flapper right ? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Where exactly was it ported? I may tackle this before my retune in the summer. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Sure can. CBI is the company I use. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Power washed the salt off of her today after I went to my PO box in Buffalo to pick up my new summer rims! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I think I may do the same . Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Did you go with AVO? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I'm using a magnet mount. Works awesome. I'll post pics of it in the car when I get it back Here's the one I'm using (Amazon pics) Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

I had a loud clunk pop in my front end recently and it was my front sway bar link that was loose. Only way to check that is to keep weight on the suspention and give it a wiggle. If you suspend the car the weight of the unloaded suspention will firm up lose linkage and it will seem tight when you check it. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Identical description of my rattle (GT,6mt). Which turned in my a louder rattle and catastrophic engine failure. Go get it assessed at a Subaru performance shop before it's too late. You can find my build thread near the top of the fifth gen area Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Nokian is hands down the best all weather tire. Look em' Up! Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Thanks! She's on Gecko G racing 32 way adjustable coilovers and spacers on all 4 corners. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk

Love how she sits. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk
