Bigkahuna808 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Im running up and dp. PDE flex up with resistor mod (one of the best ups along with the STI because of the solid flex section.) CObb catless DP (added cat due to horrible fumes.) I got a AP so not to sure on the CEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substitude Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I have a generic catless flex UP (made for WRX/STI) & Cobb HFC DP. I had the resistor fix as well for the UP & threw CEL's b/c of the DP. But I got the AP & PDX tune shortly thereafter & that solved all my problems. If you're going to change those out, I would suggest sticking with OEM gaskets. I tried the crushable Remflex gaskets. If you don't crush 'em just right you'll eventually have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK Wagon Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 STI UP, Perrin Catless (divorces waste gate) DP. +1 for new OEM Gaskets. Get a stage two map from PDX (or Cobb) to get all the benefits. (I grew up in HI so had to chime in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigkahuna808 Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I try not to boost and get about 300 miles to the tank. As for gaskets I'm runing the crucial racing ones with no known problomes. But from what I hear the OEm ones are good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that you asked that question... I just failed recon today with my Racecomp Engineering Tarmac 1 coilovers (KW's). What kind of suspension mods do you have?

What kind of suspension mods do you have? you failed? How was the fog lights the issue? Or did you not pass the minimum height? Aligment?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substitude Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 you failed? How was the fog lights the issue? Or did you not pass the minimum height? Aligment?> Nope it was the "bounce test" in which they check for suspension travel. The HAR (Hawaii Administration Rule) actually calls for 2 inches of travel. They don't actually expect Subies to travel 2" but they want to see a fair amount of bounce to the car. My alignment was good, center of headlights was > 22", tint was good. Fogs are not an issue. The guy told me the rear end of the car did fine but that the front of the car was "slammed"... his way of saying it was too stiff. He didn't exert much force on the car & I asked if I could bounce it... but he said no. The guy wasn't really being an a-hole about it, he was actually pretty cool. I just don't really care for this recon process & just pissed that I was trying to do the right thing. I know I can find someone who will OK my safety check, but I wanted to do things the right way. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilandcruza Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 can u adjust the damper on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
substitude Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 can u adjust the damper on those? Yup. He said "there must be something you can do." So I adjusted them right before his eyes... dialed them to the full soft. But with the amount of force he was applying on a 3500lb car, of course it's not going to move much... and you would need to apply more force on the front end of the car than you did on the rear.
