Yeap figured as much. Lesson learned everything to torque spec, better to not work on the car if you dont have the right tools from the beginning.

As promised one more exhaust video, drive by exhaust vid coming soon.

More goodies, every time I go to TF-Works I just want to blow my whole paycheck.

Good Guys over there all of them real car guys lol.

-- Whiteline Positive Shift Kit
-- Wheel Locks + Red Lug nuts
-- Greddy Magnet Drain Plug
-- Cosworth Air Filter
-- Cusco Drift Knob

Plus a couple of dyno pulls scheduled for next week at P&L. No tuning yet just want to get a baseline of the car with the exhaust, then add the air filter etc.

Wheel Locks + Lugs installed, these will look better once I plastidip the rims

When you come by on Friday, don't be shy to say "Hi"

Itll probably be easier for you to say Hi... since i dont know your name or what you look like

Ill be there the 25th at 10 am (too damn early lol for my day off!)

Yes.

Break in Close to done. Been revving it a little higher and ive noticed a high pitched rattling from the rear of the car under heavy load. Im gonna go to the dealership and let them know about it just in case.

Quick Pic from the dyno on friday:

You may also notice my newest mod for looks, the multicolor DRL Leds from Diode Dynamics:

Sorry for the bad quality pictures I will invest in a decent DSLR soon and no more phone pictures I promise!

Break in was finished on saturday as i was communting a lot this weekend!

Stay tuned, more goodies coming in this week!

#maverick# · 07-30-2014, 11:16 PM

Package came in

Ready for my 1k mile oil change. Was reccomended amsoil by a friend so i went with them. I will also be sending my oil for analysis to blackstone labs.
I will be doing a diff and tranny fluid change at 1500 miles, i will be going with motul 300 for those!

#maverick# · 07-31-2014, 11:14 PM

Dyno Graph as promised. This is with only the perrin 3" catback

#maverick# · 08-17-2014, 11:10 PM

Finally got my CUSCO intake tube & cosworth drop-in filter installed. The difference is definitely noticeable in the peppiness of the car.
Also those ugly ass yellow caps in the engine bay had to go, so i grabbed some blue engine bay enamel and went to work on them.

As for an update on how my experience with learning stick shift is coming along, I am no longer afraid of being stopped on hills haha. Starts are still a little harder to be quick and smooth, but nonetheless better than the first month LOL. 2nd gear shifts are getting smoother as well. I got rev matching learned pretty well into every gear except 2nd haha so difficult for me to get that one well, also ive started dabbling into a little heel & toe and it definitely takes a little getting used to but apart from all that im pretty happy with my progress and i hope i continue to get better.

Catless Front Pipe came in today. I ordered the cheapest i could find, its just a piped after all.
J2 Catless front pipe:

So stoked to get this one on. Ive also been setting money aside out of every weeks paycheck for a flex fuel kit so look for that in the near future!

#maverick# · 09-04-2014, 10:55 PM

My car made some friends at school haha

#maverick# · 09-18-2014, 07:05 PM

Installed the catless frontpipe

I also installed the whiteline shifter bushings as well as the energy suspension rear shifter bushings. This along with a trans and diff fluid swap with motul gear 300 has made the shifting almost silky smooth.

I highly reccomend the above mods, all of them can be done for under 100 bucks and will totally change how the shifting feels. I'm ecstatic about it!
