I found the dyno number you posted with the Injen intake installed.

Turns out the wiring from my intake may be damaged and I'm pumping way too much fuel into my engine. Hopefully getting that fixed today and throwing a tune on top so I should be getting the numbers I want tonight!

@Khmla note the 20hp loss. This was probably the same loss of power the car had with the Weapon R intake. The MAF wiring was likely not damaged, they are both just poorly designed intakes that jack up AFRs and IATs to the point of measurable performance degradation in real world driving situations with the hood closed and a fully heat soaked engine bay.

Who tuned the car after this and what were the dyno results after tuning?

Major updates next week. Repainting front bumper, installing Seibon carbon fiber (vented) 10mm fenders (paint matched), installing final PasswordJDM engine bay piece.

Photoshoot 2/12 - a lot of pictures to come. I haven't updated much so I have a lot to share. Including my OEM Audio+ build and hydrodip action.

Stay tuned!

Also have to update my mod list as I have a bunch of @Diode Dynamics parts installed and pending!

Bumper currently getting repaired and painted, waiting on new fenders to arrive - they are late...

After I install bumper and fenders, need to a deep wash and then re-install all the engine bay bling.

Wish it wasn't winter.

Absolutely beautiful (sorry for all the pictures)

May I ask where you got those... and if they come in green?

Hey, they were custom. But you can find the carbon fiber at Composite Envisions and I believe they do have a green. So you can either wrap the OEM panels yourself or try to find someone to do it for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

RPF1s, one of the best choices for autocrossing.

I wasn't sure if I liked the front bumper at first, but after the lip got painted black it sold me. It matches the hood so well. Great build man!
