yeah i know pete a little....i like that wrx, clean as hell.
i know ross too, he's got that huge ass truck lol, i think he lives in Delaware, don't quote me on that though....
I have hung out at wawa/wendy's with matt before...don't really go there too much anymore, might go again when it gets nice outside.
Chris-A/C was removed today, as well as pointless emissions lines to clean up the engine bay a bit, oh yeah, cruise control was removed too.
The LS head is being taken off tonight, then lsvtec officially begins.
May not be done for the meet on sunday though :cry:

Yea his wrx is clean, but I think it's a waste in his hands, cause he doesn't know anything about it or what to do with it.
And ross, ah ross.... let's see, well he has a 240sx, sitting, waiting for an sr, which he doesn't yet have the money for..... he has a maxima, sitting, waiting for a new tranny...But he does have a car that actually runs! It's a 1987 Caprice Classic lol or he either drives his dad's a4 or his moms Yukon
Oh and he lives on the PA side of 202 right next to the Subbie dealer.
Did you go to school with matt?

:supz: I too was a victim of the Blue Plate Special when I first bought my car. I was duped by the dealership tho. They threw one in for free cause the day I purchased the car I bought Stg1 and a Mopar STS at the same time. I guess they just wanted to get rid of it. Sold it for $45 bucks a few months later after it worked on my last nerve and I kept getting harassed by local turbo guys.:roll:

Nice, go with the SEE, the Mopar restricts power, stay with 3". Needswings IMO is the best way to go, cheap and you get the most power.

1st post updated
why does it have stage 2 before 1?
Vypurr
05-09-2007, 05:12 PM
Because that is a part of the Stage 2 Kit. The Stage 1 that he was talking about is a replacement ECU. The Stage 2 WGA is a piece which goes onto the turbo.
I dislike the S2 WGA. The AGP is a much better piece, but both pretty much do the same things.
Chris_PA
05-10-2007, 12:15 AM
I got the S2 WGA for 50 bucks so it's whatever
I'll evently upgrade, but for now I love having no PTB

To be honest with you I'm switching to the BC's. I'd like a little more adjustability for auto crossing and the camber plates fit it perfectly. Plus I'd like to get a slightly higher spring rate for them since the car is no longer my DD. I'll let you know when I'm getting ready, or just go ahead and shoot me a PM then if your still interested. As of right now I'm going to wait until after the season, but if it's towards the end I've got no problems.

You may be able to go slightly lower then what I have them, but I has having issues with cutting my tires while auto xing so I raised them a hair and kinda rolled my fenders.

Picking up a Forward Motion WGA tomorrow
Ditching the S2 WGA
Chris_PA
07-21-2007, 05:52 PM
Got the Forward Motion WGA
Much better than my Stage 2 WGA
With the S2 I was spiking 16 and dropping all the way down to 11 by redline
With the FM WGA I spike 17 and hold 14 to redline, still on stock vac lines
http://www.haknslash.com/pictures/chrispino/wga.jpg
Oh, and my heat shield is mangled:-p

Damn, that's a deal considering it's better. The AGP was just shiney lol
Chris_PA
07-22-2007, 04:03 PM
So now onto the problems
I heard a lot of people say to run the FM WGA off of stock lines, so I did.
Then this morning I decided to try and run the vac lines like this to see if I could hold more than 13/14lbs to redline
http://i7.tinypic.com/2mg6pt2.jpg
I had them set-up just like that
Black lines removed and the green line from the turbo to the WGA
Went out to test it
Only boosted 5-6lbs at most
Tightened the WGA, same boost
Tightened it all the way, same boost
Said **** it, went back to stock lines
Now it only boost 13lbs at most even with the WGA all the way tight
How should they be hooked up for a quick spool and minimal PTB
My set-up is:
FM WGA
FMIC
Full exhuast
Stock air box w/ drop in
Stock surge valve

Help me make a C/O decision
Should I pick up some IPP's (non-dampening) from a local guy for $320 or wait to get some new Tein Basic's
TTsupra911
07-27-2007, 08:59 PM
I haven't exactly heard the best about the IPP's, so I'd personally hold out, but for $300 you can't really complain...Hell you could prob sell those one's for the same price if not more once you have the cash for the Tein's
Chris_PA
07-27-2007, 09:02 PM
That's what I'm thinking
I think I'm gonna go for it
Chris_PA
07-29-2007, 12:11 PM
So I picked up some IPP non-dampening coilovers for $300
They are pretty much brand new (3k miles) so I couldn't pass them up
http://www.photodump.org/stored16/Jul28_0002.jpg
I'm gonna try and get them on for the August 12th WC meet
Not sure if I will be able to
I leave for FL the 4th and get back the 11th
I might try and throw them on wed/thurs this week if I feel like it after work
If anyone wants to come over and help, feel free:mrgreen:

Damn, that's a good deal! Your car is gonna be badass after the drop.
It should look something like this:

Then by late August I should be tinted and hopefully have my wheels powdercoated black so it should look like this:
http://www.haknslash.com/pictures/chrispino/acr/PS/fm4dropblacklipwing.jpg
Then once I find a OB trunk w/o the wing holes it'll look like this:

Got tinted today @ Shades of Gray
15% all around
Ryan and Damon are great guys who run an awesome shop
I can't say enough about the customer service and quality
Best place around to get tinted IMO
Got home and threw on my IPP Coilovers
The rears need to be lowered about a 1/2 inch more, just didnt feel like doing anymore on the car tonite
Let me know what you think

Got a regular neon trunk (no wing holes) with AVS all color matched
http://www.haknslash.com/pictures/chrispino/acr/trunk/DSCF0669.jpg
Also, I've gone though about 4 Autometer gauges (2 stockers, 30/30 Phantom and a 30/30 CF) so I picked up a Defi Blue Racer Gauge
http://www.haknslash.com/pictures/chrispino/acr/DSCF0672.jpg
Pretty much done with the car for now

I traded my CF trunk and AVS for the color matched trunk w/o spoiler holes and the AVS and he gave me $100 on top of that
Cant beat that
My only complaint is that the AVS doesn't sit 100% flush, but I really don't care all that much
