FLlegacy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Well it should have been easy enough but apparently you need to take the serial number which is stamped into the block above the starter and ask a dealer to see if it matches to your VIN.

Abdi Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yeah I looked everywhere all I could get was the serial number. The vin is 4s3bmfh64a1212923 im pretty sure it came from pasedena my mechanic told me he brought it from a dude that moved to florida from cali and sold it to him right after.

Abdi Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Alright so I did some digging and im almost 100% sure that the car belonged to a guy on here by the name of gravitygear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abdi Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 it is grey. Not sure what color his was but he had exactly the same mods the car has right now. Only reason I figured it out was cause of the ast suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantasyxiv Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 For handiling A good set of rubber will help you, if you already have coilovers you could do the sway bars, I run Cusco F + R with and strut brace mated with whiteline heavy duty endlinks with stock springs and shocks, made a huge difference, in overall handling but i cant compare with coilovers as i've never driven a 5th gen with a set. Fuel pump: dw300 is what I run. Injectors: 1000cc seem to be pretty common from what i've seen from people on the forum, necessary if you plan on E85. Power: tune, full tbe, tmic, bov, fuel pump and you'll get good numbers with a good tuner. I'd also do a heavy duty clutch or at least put money aside for it as people have had mixed results here with power and stock clutches from memory. Keep an eye on engine mechanicals under power, the ringlands are a week point, (ask me how I know......) you should easily achieve 268hp and greater depending on what you do. Ask some of the more experienced guys and look up the dedicated build threads others have posted to see builds and gather ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdi Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Thanks fantasyxiv I just but a new set of pirelli's on. And I also have a whiteline RSB. As for power I just got an etune from tuning alliance gotta load it on to the car. Im still unsure of what downpipe to get and if I should go catted or not. I was thinking of keeping it all invidia but not sure. Yeah Im definitely gonna do the injectors and fuel pump but I may do flex fuel for convenience. And I definitely gotta start saving for a new clutch. I also ordered a master cylinder brace, perrin shifter stop and short shift adapter. We will see how that install goes.

fantasyxiv Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 keep us posted and let us know how it all goes. I'm sure some of the more experienced guys should chime in eventualy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarang Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Catted Invidia is the way to go if you do not want to worry about boost creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdi Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Just got the Perrin short shift adapter, stop plate installed and also did the clutch damper delete. Master cylinder brace coming tuesday. Still looking for a catted j-pipe as well as interior specifically the two front seats.

Mrstacy Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Master cylinder brace coming tuesday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Please elaborate on what this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Lol ^ it is a brace for the master cylinder, that's it. It stops the flex of the brake master cylinder when you press hard on the brakes. Supposed to help firm up the pedal feel and transfer more power to the brakes.

Abdi Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 yeah I have been looking into the avo one but still haven't made up my mind. The master cylinder brace is just as Flegacy stated it stops the master cylinder from flexing so much when braking. I got it from ebay no name brand so we will see how it does quality and performance wise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So FLEGACY. Lol because it is good or because everyone knows that already? (except me) Lol, because it is just whats it's name says. I don't know if it works as described I don't think I have ever pushed the brakes that hard. I would assume it either bling or for autox use since normal driving is not going to fatigue the firewall mounting points of the BMC. It sounds like it should be something really neat and necessary, but its not and its not. At least that is what I thought when I first read about one, then I found out what it was and was like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Honestly, that doesn't make any sense to go Stage2 with a downpipe that flows well, and then restrict the exhaust down to a smaller orofice. Why don't you just have your turbo ported? GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdi Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Yeah I see how it doesn't make sense but porting the turbo is gonna take time and money and I also read somewhere on here that it is not guaranteed to fix over boost. Stage 2 and running e85 is probably as much as I am going to do power wise so I came to the conclusion that this would be the best cost effective and reversible way to combat over boost until I can come up with a better solution.

cww516 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Since you have 2, you can always open one up until it stops controlling overboost, then open the other one up a little less and drop it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
