maniaxzero Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I gotta say the silencer delete was my least favorite mod. It increased gas consumption and didn't give me the sound that I want. So i had to put it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlack-V Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 previous owner did 6k's in my car not too bad but i would have picked 5k the 6k's are a little too blue for me. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted October 26, 2012 I Donated Share Posted October 26, 2012 I'm not sure what the color difference is between the different ones, but it's not super blue, just blue enough so that it makes it harder to see. I would want to do something warmer, closer to OEM color. I've heard yellow is actually the best for visibility so maybe i'll do some shade that's almost yellow.

BigBlack-V Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 all you have to do is order new bulbs and you can have any color or non color that you want. 4,300k is considered stock but most places only have 5k bulbs. If you want more white get a set of 4,300-5k bulbs I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Halogen's are usually @3000-3200K. At 4000K your getting white...5000K white with some blue. (I had 4800K HID's white with a hint of blue...ok, but I'd prefer 4000K) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volodyalysak Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 SPT Intake - sounds like shit, plus lost some low end torque. Getting stock intake next week, will ditch that SPT ... or sell it here to someone who doesn't read this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlack-V Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Getting stock intake next week, will ditch that SPT ... or sell it here to someone who doesn't read this thread. I have the Cobb sf intake and when the car was tuned last the Maf scaling wasn't changed. This made the car run crappy and stumble also having it run rough at idle. After a retune and the Maf scaling being changed for the intake the car now runs perfect. I thought it was running rough for other reasons but now it's perfect. I also don't like the noise much but you tune it out after a while plus myax torque after the new tune is at about 2800 rpm's. I know intakes aren't the best on our cars however if tuned properly they are fine from what I have read. The Cobb and Ks tech I've been told at least. I was 0. And I'm still a zero.

Haight 05LGT Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Intake silencer removal for me as well. Increased gas consumption and made the car hesitate on the low end. Also caused a droooooone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too laff79 Posted October 28, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted October 28, 2012 all you ricers and your silencer removals I can't think of any mods I haven't liked, actually. My component install is the only one I can think that annoys me sometimes. Oh, and sometimes I wonder if I should've kept my wingless trunk.

abakja1 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Avo endlinks FMIC,.,,i had a wbr fmic, but fmic in general. I got more power and torque with a custom tune, but day to day living and maintenence got worse. intercooler pipes scraped driveways, some hood clearance problems, more difficulty changing my dead red optima battery, ec etc,.. If i had to do it again, the perrin tmic would had sufficed for me day to day with the mods i already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my 99obs feels like a wore out turd and I stick my nose up at cars without heated seats I actually don't feel like this about my 94 Impreza, I'm kind of sad about selling it, >_< I just think the old car is still a good car, but I have this nicer newer 05 LGT now, and it's buttery smooth and yah.

funnyman06 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I still have my 99, its just that it has 215,000 miles on it. Shifter bushings are shot. 1st and 2nd gear syncros are shot. Oh and the ej22 was never a powerhouse haha. I love that car, but its certainly seen better days.

mikeyd Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Least favorite mod: Cobb turbo heat shield which broke off... twice. Shieldless now. Add one-touch operation (and more) to your stock sunroof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian55 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Least favorite mod: Cobb turbo heat shield which broke off... twice. Shieldless now. The Cobb heat shield was my least favorite non-mod, I never bothered installing that hokey piece of tin since it was such a p.o.s. right out of the box. (least favorite actual mod was a lightweight flywheel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
