gr4v3r Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I was curious of the best route to take when reverting to stock to trade my car in to a dealership. Here are my current mods: STI Uppipe Invidia Catless Downpipe AVO TMIC Cobb AP stage 2 Koni Struts Tein H tech springs My plan is to unmarry the AP, swap the TMIC for stock, replace the spring struts with a stock set, and leave the UP and DP on with a stock tune. Is this a terrible idea? I feel bad giving in a car with the UP/DP without a tune but is it ok to do? If anyone wants this car before I trade it in for their lowball offer and part it out please tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoozeRS05 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 You should swap in an OEM downpipe and put the resistor mentioned above ^ in the EGT plug. Otherwise everything else will be fine.

gr4v3r Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 sounds good, so my only issue will be sourcing the stock springs/struts mounted together. Its been listed here for some time but I'm not getting offers. I would much rather sell it cheap here instead of part it out, replace and install stock parts, and give it to a stealership.

Moderators BarManBean Posted October 3, 2012 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have a full stock suspension set up and would like your konis. Didn't you just put them on there? PM me with what you would want for them, who installed them, etc. I would need to get a set of stock springs to put on the struts that I have, but I don't think that would be too much trouble.
