First of all I wanna thank Ray @ Turbo Tek Tuning, Andy @ Verocious Motorsports, Keith & Sal @ KG Parts, my wonderful girlfriend Becky for the support and the rides in her Lexus, Dave for his friendship and support of my car and has been there thru everything, and for the new friends I have made from TriStateTuners.com. Thank You All!!!

I bought this car in October of 2004 used with 23,000 miles on her. She was a 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX 5spd. I traded in my Honda Civic towards this car. This was my first time purchasing an awd car. What I liked about the car especially was the paint job. The 2004 only Java Black Pearl! It wasn't until that March that I finally took the car to the track. I ran a 14.4 and from what I read that was the time you were supposed to run in this car completly stock. Having the craving for more power I put a turboback exhaust & boost controller on. The next time out I was able to run a 13.3 just before winter time. I always wanted to have a STi wing. I found a silver one for cheap and put it on the car. This is when the infamous silver trunk era began. I figured that would be the end of my modding for awhile except for a tune! I dynoed 243whp untuned.

While fooling around in the snow during the winter time. I somehow spun a rod bearing on my motor with only 40,000miles on her. With the mods done I did not want to settle for just another WRX motor. I wanted something different and rare. Something that would a smile on my face and keep it there! I started researching JDM STi motors! I like how the version 7 JDM STi motors came with forged internals and amazing heads that rev out to 8,000 rpm. After purchasing this motor I took my car over to Xotic Motorsports to have some other work done as well while the engine was being put in. I gave in to the temptation of the external wastegate and a tune! This will always be my favorite mod because of how it sounds and just how I just scare people while driving around. With the tune came 311whp and 292tq at 22psi on the stock vf30 included with the motor. I still retained using the stock 5 spd transmission and a SBC Clutch Kit because I couldn't afford the 6 spd manual of built tranny at the time! A week after getting the car tuned I got my best time ever of 12.4 @ 108mph. I was quite content with this time and power it had. I just felt a tranny and turbo upgrade would make the car complete down the road. I thought this time my modding would be done complete. Little did I know just a month and a half ago that would all change.

One day I was riding around after a rain storm and came around a blind turn and saw a big puddle at the last minute. One of the last mods I had on my car is the infamous CAI. I put the car in neuteral, but it was too late. The car threw a check engine almost immediately after hitting the puddle and ran rough all the way home. The next day I was riding to work and came around a turn and the car shut off on me. We had to pop start it to get it home. Once home I let the car dry out for three days and flushed out the oil and got her fired up and click click click it went. Another spun rod bearing. I just felt heartbroken after this. Soon after I called JDM-Online again to get another motor but at the same time Ray from Turbo Tek Tuning messaged me about wanting to help me out with getting parts. Little did I know how far this would go. Ray became very talkative with me and became a new friend to me and also my first offical Sponsor for my car. With that going for me we went ahead and went all out this time! First thing to be ordered was the motor from JDM-Online, this time with the 6 spd transmission. Next was the go fast goodies from Turbo Tek Tuning. Perrin products were ordered, including GT30R, FMIC, and Intake. Other parts ordered at the time were Subaru 4-Pot front calipers, Hawk HPS Brake Pads, Powerslot Slotted Front Rotors, SBC Clutch Kit, and PE 850cc Injectors. Once again the car was towed over to Xotic Motorsports to Andy! Andy in the past had did most of the work to the car and there is no one else I trust with the life of my car except for Andy! Also while Andy was putting these parts in, Ray and I put some of the rearend in. Andy and I put the motor and the rest of the drivetrain in, as well as the braking system. Just before I brought the car to him I picked up a set of Corbeau Forza seats for pretty cheap. He did a little custom work while I was at that with making a straight thru mid-pipe and custom dump tube for the external wastegate in the Perrin Turbo kit. Before the car was complete Andy realized that I was missing a piece of intercooler piping. So that put off getting the car done for a few more days. Once we had that in we started her up only to realize that this motor like the last had a bad IAC valve. So I had to order a brand new one which set us back another 4 days total between diagnosing it and waiting for the part to come in. Once we had the IAC in the car ran great. Besides needing a tune. Andy said to get 500miles on her and call him when I achieve that and we would tune the car. That wouldn't be the last time I'd see him. Little did I know what was in store for me.

Four days past and I had just about 450miles on her when I came out to start her and she cranked over like her timing was off. It would start up and immediately shut off. Not wanting to mess around with it I called up Andy the next day and told him my problem. He told me to get the car towed to him that day and he would take a look at it. Which brings us up to today. Andy did a compression test and leakdown test on the car and turns out that cylinders 1 and 3 are bad. As well as oil was soaking the maf sensor. What Andy believes what happened was coolant might have been laying on top of those cylinders from sitting and/or shipping and just wore at the piston rings. Oil was passing thru the cylinders only on the passenger side. I went out there three days ago and did a compression test on video that I'm sending up to JDM-Online for proof of what happened and they will let me know what they are going to do.

My goals for the car are 400+whp on 93 pump gas and 500+whp on C16 race gas. Time wise I'm looking at 10's.

Andy is building you a cage?

[the mike]

Oh the history. :devil:

You're going to need another page or 2 for that.:finga:

[EvlEgl]

Only guy I know to successfully Blow up two motors by using unconventional methods such as water.

[TalonTsi97]

What kinda power does it make? Nice setup, any pictures?

[C'DALERIDER]

:rotfl: :rotfl: . Come on, its realy not his fault :eek:

haha, sometimes I wonder if Huff pulls his jetski into the river forward, instead of backing it in. :mrgreen:

[the mike]

What kinda power DID it make?


Fixed for you. :devil:

[S4toSTI]

:rotfl: :rotfl: . Come on, its realy not his fault :eek:
Ok i guess it isn't, oh wait it is the cold air intakes fault and the cars fault for doing donuts in the snow on its own.

[UnderPoweredRS]

he only hydro locked one motor.

[JDM87]

pictures huff

[HuffRex]

first motor was a blind turn and hydro locked in turn spun rod bearing, the second was something wrong from driving it easy

[xEJ20x]

And the third motor was a lemon.

[ray@turbotek]

huff i dont think this forum has enough bandwith for your history

[HuffRex]

my history has now been updated...pictures to follow soon

[HuffRex]

pictures are up to date

[ray@turbotek]

huff also forgot about his weight reduction, see the car had about 500 punds of sand underneath of it from docking the jet ski. nothing like installing a rear and having all that sand fall in your eyes and everything else. when i got home the one night, my wife asked if i was at the beach because there was sand all over me.

[HuffRex]

Haha Ray send me your cleaning bill for your shirt haha

[ej20wrx123]

Which brings us up to today. Andy did a compression test and leakdown test on the car and turns out that cylinders 1 and 3 are bad. As well as oil was soaking the maf sensor. What Andy believes what happened was coolant might have been laying on top of those cylinders from sitting and/or shipping and just wore at the piston rings.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Dude, YOU JUST CAN'T CATCH A BREAK! I get frustrated for you just reading this. Hope things turn out OK....Ray and Andy sound like great guys to deal with.....

[02rex]

[EvlEgl]

**** that its faster who cares what ti looks like! ;)

[subwrxkid]

**** that its faster who cares what ti looks like! ;)

Not right now it isn't. I should start my motor swap in a month or two, so before spring hits we should be around the same power, except he will have a high reving 2.0L and I will have a 2.5L torque monster!

[HuffRex]

we should be around the same power, except he will have a high reving 2.0L and I will have a 2.5L torque monster!

we'll see after tonight or whenever this motor company gets back to me

[JDM87]

[HuffRex]

ill let you drive my mr2 if you let me drive this

[AREA1320]

besides, helps having a seat that keeps fat people out of lol

[HuffRex]

helps having a seat that keeps fat people out of lol

[Orbit]

these guys are harsh. Im sure it will all work out for the better in the end. Sounds like it will be a monster!

[IMPREZvWRX]

Nice story - well-written.

So, uh...what's the word from the engine people?

BTW, that car would look sick with some bronze Torques. :thumbup:

[HuffRex]

BTW, that car would look sick with some bronze Torques. :thumbup:

I gotta call them back monday and they will have a solution for me. Its obvious what the solution is...send me another motor because its still under warranty. Honestly I'm strongly thinking about those Rotas!!

[IMPREZvWRX]

Honestly I'm strongly thinking about those Rotas!!
Let me know when you wanna try them on. I'll fire up the compressor.

[UnderPoweredRS]

This is my baby!! Very few people I trust to drive or work on my car.

you let my girlfriend drive it. lol

[FASTERTHANU]

nice ride bro.

[JDM87]

you let my girlfriend drive it. lol

Bros before hos mang...i see how it is. I dont even let the wife drive my car and i offered it to you!

[HuffRex]

you let my girlfriend drive it. lol

when it had the stock motor in there and not as much work done lolol haha

[HuffRex]

As of today still no letter for what the motor company will do for me. I will have to seek legal action if nothing is sent to me in the next couple days. This blows!

[UnderPoweredRS]

when it had the stock motor in there and not as much work done lolol haha

HaHa no it was when you had the first JDMness under the hood.

[CHAOS]

damn huff... that blows man.

[subwrxkid]

I saw this thing sleepin at Xotic.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

As of today still no letter for what the motor company will do for me. I will have to seek legal action if nothing is sent to me in the next couple days. This blows!

Damn! Hope this gets better soon....sucks! Good luck with a lawsuit though since they aren't based in the US I wonder how that will work?

[HuffRex]

Picking up my 2.5L STi shortblock tomorrow and a set of CP Pistons next week! Should be a Monster...still going to seek legal action against JDM-Online.

[Renegade_]

Do it...

Where are you buying the block from and what you mean by CP? (obviously forged pistons, but what does CP stand for?)

[HuffRex]

I'm purchasing the block from Fred Beans Subaru in Doylestown

CP is a piston company out of Irvine, California

[Renegade_]

Ah - I know the rods are forged in an STi but is the crank forged? I am know the pistons are cast.

[HuffRex]

The last thing remaining to be received is the pistons and Andy from Xotic Motorsports should have everything there early next week!!

[C'DALERIDER]

i think Beans had an sti short block on ebay afew weeks ago damaged in shipping. Went for like $1250! only dammage was dowls. New SB at a great price. Thats what you got? I was bidding on it also. ps, should have did this in the first place. I could think of at least a dozen potential problems with a used jdm clip. your car is gona be awesome.

[HuffRex]

thanx man...everytime i see you there i wanna come up to talk to u about ur car...we'll have to chat sometime in person

[C'DALERIDER]

Thats the deal I got from Fred Beans! Under $2000!!! Thanx Tho!

[HuffRex]

I got rid of that wing and trunk a long time ago!! I got my old dented WRX trunk minus the wrx wing on there right now! I'm loving wingless but i'm leaning towards a S203 Wing in carbon fiber and carbon fiber trunk!

[ozthunder]

So you don't love it enough? lol

[HuffRex]

So you don't love it enough? lol

I did man hahaha...money needed at the time so it had to go...haha i'll be back to work next week anyways since i've been out of work since october

[ozthunder]

lol, you've seem to have a lot of on-off wing relationships. Should be a counselling group for that or something!

[CHAOS]

huff... please dont get that horrid s203 wing... get something different... like an s204 wing... lol $$$$

[HuffRex]

Still weighing my options with the wing! Today the pistons arrived at Xotic Motorsports! Should be starting the build around Wednesday of this week!! I'm getting real excited!! Would be a nice Christmas present!!

[the mike]

Together by Christmas, dead by New Year's!


:finga:

[HuffRex]

:finga:

No Confidence??

[thirdeye]

Hey just thought I'd say "Hi". I met you when my friend and I were at Xotic getting tuned. I was the one with the white 05 STi w/ the s203 wing.

[CHAOS]

With your history?:lol:


Just messing with you man!

[HuffRex]

[HuffRex]

*New Thought Today* I might pick up my map switching capabilites while I'm over at Xotic! Just got to get a Turbo XS Dual Stage Boost controller or a Greddy Profec B

[scionmike]

[IMPREZvWRX]

profec b's suck... i like my halmanHallman makes an EBC?

[thirdeye]

I like my Profec, works well.

[HuffRex]

I just got a steal of a price on a Greddy E01 EBC! Prob. going that way with the boost control of the map switching on the ecutek!

[subwrxkid]

did you get the map switching option?

Go AVCR, I love mine!

[HuffRex]

will be...going to talk to andy tonight!! I haven't had luck with my avcr in the past

[C'DALERIDER]

I love the Greddy Profec E-01 Boost Controller. I actualy like Greddy products alot. they work awesome.

[HuffRex]

I love the Greddy Profec E-01 Boost Controller. I actualy like Greddy products alot. they work awesome.

Thank You very much! I'll be picking it up hopefully this week!!

[HuffRex]

Well great news! I just picked up the car today and she runs beautifully! I got 130 miles on her of the 1000 needed before tuning! Going to get the miles on as fast as i can then go back for my race gas and street gas tune! She feels like a monster up to 5000rpm at only qtr throttle! Can't wait to open her up!! I thank those whose have supported this project from the beginning!!

[CHAOS]

awesome huff... glad to see its up and running

[HuffRex]

thanx man i always appreciate u riding out and taking a look

[subwrxkid]

Huff, be carefully wit it.

Don't be racing it and **** because if you blow this one the game won't let you back. :wink:

[Jourdan]

did you upgrade your tranny yet?

[Jourdan]

nevermind.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Huff, the beast sounds AMAZING! Take it easy until break in.... ;)

[HuffRex]

Thanx guys for the concern...will be careful!! Looking forward to the tuning...t-minus 800 miles and counting!!!

[onewsube]

Congrats. Cant wait to see it.

[1fastrex]

Huff, the beast sounds AMAZING! Take it easy until break in.... ;)

yea that thing was loud as hell this morning when u stoped by my work

[UnderPoweredRS]

sweet Can't wait to race this it should knock my socks off.

[HuffRex]

I can't wait to race it too....its been far too long since my last race! Its not that loud lolol!!!

[HuffRex]

As of today...I'm still burning a lot of oil. Checked the turbo...no shaft play or oil anywhere around the turbo. Tonight or tomorrow I'm upgrading the oil to 10w40 and see what happens and checking to make sure the restrictor pill is in the oil feed line. That is all for now. Otherwise its running beautifully!

[TROLL]

duuuude. stop. while you're stopped, think. your motor is not right, and putting a more viscous oil into it isnt going to work a miracle here. what kind of motor goes through 2 quarts of any kind of oil? suck it up and tear it down and see what went wrong. you can only be making it worse by putting off the problem and continuing to drive it like this.

[subwrxkid]

It smokes BAD, real bad.

I can't imagine what's wrong with it.

[HuffRex]

I'm following what Andy told me to do down to every single word he has said to me...if this doesn't work...we're gonna tear it apart again!!

[subwrxkid]

**** is super loud huff. lol

[Lux]

BRING OUT TEH TAURUS! hehe

[HuffRex]

BRING OUT TEH TAURUS! hehe

That car is in retirement from my hands and back in the hands of my mom...unless this motor has to be torn apart again...then reluctantly i will have to drive the taur-ass

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Wow......your sh**y luck with motors just never ends......

[HuffRex]

its gotta be something stupid tho man!!

[ej20wrx123]

that doesnt sound good at all. I would do a leakdown to see whats gong on

[HuffRex]

thats the next step if changing the oil viscosity doesbn;'t work

[IMPREZvWRX]

[UnderPoweredRS]

Omg Wtf

You should get a DSM so you can blame everything on the car.

[IMPREZvWRX]

Omg Wtf

You should get a DSM so you can just blame everything on the car.Dude, this one couldn't possibly be his fault.

[UnderPoweredRS]

Dude, this one couldn't possibly be his fault.

I wasn't saying it was.

[InfiniteMotors]

HUFF!

Hey man did you check that oil send line for the restrictor pill yet? It was in there the whole time I was working with it, but in the off chance that it somehow fell out just before I installed it back into the turbo... It's worth taking a look at (five minuted and an 11mm wrench its worth it)

Let me know what happens, check that thing asap.

[HuffRex]

Checked the oil restrictor pill and the intercooler pipes and everything is good and where it should be! Still burning oil!

[Honest_Bob]

Oh man, good luck. I hope you find the source and that its something cheap/easy.

[CHAOS]

huff man... sounds to me like something didnt quite seat right in the engine.... time for a tear down IMO

[HuffRex]

There were pebbles of cylinder rings and the motor had crankwalk I believe. A few people were saying the thrust bearing went and the crank just started to jiggle around.

/Jake

[HuffRex]

Eagerly counting down the minutes til I leave work!!

[redwrxwagon02]

its about god dam time lol
so i think were gonna make a "lets check out huffs car" meet one o these nights soon lol or just bring it up to fuds on friday :mrgreen:

[HuffRex]

I'm definitly gonna bring it to fudds on friday

[redwrxwagon02]

sweeeet^

[Verocious]

We finally figured out why Huff's car sounds more badass than any other Subaru here, including ones with even bigger turbos.

Headers? No, it's not the headers
Exhaust is straight through, but so is every other Suby we have here
I thought it might be the V7 heads, but it's not that either

Ding! ~9.6 Compression Ratio!

The sound you hear is the spent exhaust molecules being FORCED past the exhaust valves at a full 1.4 greater compression than an OEM EJ205. Even one of the muscle car guys that was here at the shop last week said something about the non-traditional Subaru sound radiating through the 9,000 sq.ft. shop.

Can't wait to hear you rip down the track buddy

I love it when you guys get technical! That is something good to know. Thanx Jake! BTW do you have numbers for me hehe...

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g57/InfiniteMotors/P1010032.jpg

[Verocious]

Race gas will look similar except the numbers would look more like 460-475whp!!!

[subwrxkid]

it only made 377whp and 322wtq? I remember Andy putting down 411whp in greg's stock ej207 and sz49. I thought it would make more on the built motor and gt30r.

[redwrxwagon02]

well i like those numbers
so huff when r we putting a race feul cell in the car or
do u already have one? lol

[karl]

it only made 377whp and 322wtq? I remember Andy putting down 411whp in greg's stock ej207 and sz49. I thought it would make more on the built motor and gt30r.

i bet it only make ur car look slow.... why u gotta be the first one to bash on something...

[subwrxkid]

Who's bashing? I said I thought it would make more power on that motor/turbo setup, damn. Can I not ask questions anymore?

Call it what you want, but why would I bash a personal friends car and the shop that tunes my car? Comon now think....

[TROLL]

how does the 257/207 combo have a 9.6:1 compression ratio? thats higher than i calculated was possible unless his pistons are custom but i dont think they are.
how much boost is it liking?

[sherwood]

congrats huff!! its a beast

[Verocious]

D- With that much compression the timing had to be fairly conservative. With race fuel however, it should make some seriously sick power (around 475whp)

troll- You are right about the 207/257, but Huff has V7 heads which are only 49cc's. The 9.6 is approximate, but it is definitely over 9.4.
Andy left the boost at 21psi.

Wait until you hear it, you can tell it is a higher compression motor :devil:

[wgknestrick]

That's not going to last long at 21psi & high compression.

[SinistiR]

9* of timing at peak torque and 20* at 7300rpm. I would not say that is excessive in any way for making the power that it is. A 30r on a straight 257 motor I normaly end up with about 4-5* more timing across the entire rpm range at 22-23psi.

Boost has never hurt a motor and it never will. Detonation is what hurts motors.

Cylinder pressure is what makes horsepower and there are lots of different ways to increase cylinder pressure. Higher compression, more ignition advance, different camshafts and higher boost levels will all increase cylinder pressure. All of these factors must be accounted for while tuning. I like to think about it like simple math. Lets say we want to get to 10, 2+5+3=10, 3+3+4=10, 2+2+6=10, 1+1+8=10. There was 4 different ways to get to 10 using different values, now is any one of those ways to 10 wrong? No. So if you want to get to 380 whp there are a few different ways to get there. You can run 8.2:1 comp, 24* peak timing and 22psi of boost, or you can run 8.2:1 comp, 22* peak timing and 23psi of boost, or how about 9.2:1 comp, 20* peak timing and 21psi of boost.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Happy days are here again! Congrats buddy! Glad she's finally back on the road......let's hope she lasts a wee but longer this time.

[CHAOS]

the hp numbers are nice huff... cant wait to see a tune with c16

[HuffRex]

I want to thank Jake and Andy for all the hard work they put into the car. It def. feels like nothing I felt before. Thanx Guys!

[ray@turbotek]

congrats huff, now take me for a ride down the shore

[HuffRex]

congrats huff, now take me for a ride down the shore

lmao bad weather this weekend for the shore...but i'll see wat i can do

[InfiniteMotors]

Great to hear you like it Huff!

[subwrxkid]

**** rips.

[sisforsurfing]

^For sure.
Sounds nuts, too.

[HuffRex]

Thanx guys for the comments!

[karl]

i want videos! and or a test ride!

[95nracer]

Damn Huff I'm glad you got it back. I can't wait to see and hear it!

[sherwood]

am i like the only one to get a test ride? haha ...**** def rips guys!! good job huff and who ever worked on it

[karl]

it only made 377whp and 322wtq? I remember Andy putting down 411whp in greg's stock ej207 and sz49. I thought it would make more on the built motor and gt30r.

i dont really consider his motor to be "built motor", i might be wrong but i thought it was a stock sti block with v7 heads.. i consider built to be pistons, rods, etc.... so for the motor and turbo i think its where it should be powerwise.

[subwrxkid]

I thought he put pistons and **** in there. I remember him saying he did, but that coulda been one of his past sti blocks or whatever. I saw the car, and it definately rips. I know the dyno reads low so that could be why or something.

[CHAOS]

d, the pistons were in the last motor, this is a 07 sti block maybe 06 with i think the v7 heads.

[karl]

na i think that was one of the past motors..

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Frigging awesome! He left my house after checking out teh boost problem and I heard him still driving after 5 minutes. Awesome! I gotta go EWG!

[HuffRex]

Well I haven't posted on my journal in awhile. I'll be heading back to Verocious Motorsports on the 22nd of this month for a race gas tune and something else! :devil: Car has been running beautifully. So far with this hot weather I've run a 12.03@116 with a 1.69 60'. I'll be racing the 23rd to get use to the new setup. Def. doing an oil change and hopefully getting new plugs in before the tune.

[CHAOS]

what kind of numbers are you hoping for huff?

[HuffRex]

Dude honestly I really just wanna see a 4 as the first digit and the rest will follow. I just wanna be proud to say I own a 400+ whp car. But specifically I don't know cus this car is now unpredictable with numbers. Its gonna love the C16 in her tank!

[CHAOS]

yea id really like to get a race gas tune myself but theres no point in that yet.... what time on the 22nd r u going down there?

[HuffRex]

yea id really like to get a race gas tune myself but theres no point in that yet.... what time on the 22nd r u going down there?

Appointment is at 11am!

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Whew! I was worried when I saw you post in this thread.....I said to myself "Don't tell me he b0rk3d another engine!". LOL! Can't wait for my turn to take a cruise in the ride! Good luck, HUFF!

[HuffRex]

Whew! I was worried when I saw you post in this thread.....I said to myself "Don't tell me he b0rk3d another engine!". LOL! Can't wait for my turn to take a cruise in the ride! Good luck, HUFF!

If you keep this up, your going to start wondering why all of a sudden ur running on two cylinders hahaha jk man. I'll give you a ride real soon!

[EvlEgl]

Me 2 Me 2!!!

[HuffRex]

alright alright you too

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

Whew! I was worried when I saw you post in this thread.....I said to myself "Don't tell me he b0rk3d another engine!". LOL! Can't wait for my turn to take a cruise in the ride! Good luck, HUFF!

Ha ha....ya know I'm just jealous bitch! LOL!
But I don't want that test drive!

[HuffRex]

Well tuning appointment got canceled because of malfunctioning cable, looks like i'll be running pump gas at the shootout! I can two step pretty good with my own feet! ahaha

[redwrxwagon02]

noooo hufferz get ralph to tune you or something and ps let me borrow your 2 step .................................. forever

[HuffRex]

My tuner is Andy from Verocious Motorsports! I'd rather wait and let it be done right. You can't get my 2-step off of my ecu. I have ECUTek! I'll be just fine!

[redwrxwagon02]

well then im stealing your ecu lol and yeah wait for andy i was just hoking about the tune

[wishiwasturbod]

damn dude...............how much $$$$$ have u dumped into this thing?? :bigeek:

whenever i get my rex (very soon, oooo so soon...muahahahahahaha) i plan on doin small **** first, then down the road suttin along the lines of sti drivetrain goodies n such (tranny, driveshaft, maybe a motor if i can find one)
or maybe go with a 2.2 stroker kit. the possibilities are endless with these things. but bottom line it has to be my DD so im gonna do the reliable thing first and foremost. believe me fellas u will all be hearing from me in the future for spare parts, **** u dont need no more, wheels, spoilers, ecu's w/e the hell u got that u dont want no more hahaha. **** im tryna save w/e dollars i can here.

[peteyturbo]

bump for 11.6@122 on sat. :)

[HuffRex]

I don't think thats happening petey because I'm running pump gas. But hey you never know!

[CHAOS]

what happened to getting a race gas tune?

[HuffRex]

what happened to getting a race gas tune?

Andy's cable to flash my car went bad, so he had to send it back to the UK to get it fixed.

[CHAOS]

well that blows... 93 octane ftw i guess lol

[HuffRex]

Just another update! I'm heading over to Shades of Gray Tinting today for 30% all around. Also doing an oil change, changing spark plugs, Perrin Shifter Bushings, & Thermocool wrap tonight! Friday i'm custom making a vent in place of the hood scoop to reduce drag! Should be a busy week for me!

[CHAOS]

sounds awesome huff, perhaps you should get an ego diffuser for that monstrous head ur getting :)

[HuffRex]

sounds awesome huff, perhaps you should get an ego diffuser for that monstrous head ur getting :)

HAHAHA thanks JP. Remind me to hit you on Saturday haha JK man Just wanna do my best on Saturday!

[C'DALERIDER]

Note, never start to change/add/replace etc etc stuff/parts two days before a race event unless absolutley needed! BTW, The Perrin shifter part should be the first mod for anyones wrx!haha

OT, saw Mark Weinberg (or whatever his name is - marky mark?) shooting a film just now. Talked to him to!
