My DGM Subie
 

Hey everyone! After lurking on this forum for about a year now, I have finally made a membership and want to share my car.

I got it the weekend after Hurricane Sandy last year, and the modifications have been subtle and minimal - aka I'm broke.

Current Exterior Cosmetic Mods:
JDM side markers
35% tint on everything but the windshield
Suntek clear bra - full bumper, about 18" on hood. (installed absolutely terribly. Not happy at all with it.)

Future Exterior Cosmetic Mods:
LED bulb swap - indicators, side markers, reverse lights, fog lights

Current Interior Mods:
P3Cars integrated vent gauge
WeatherTech Floor Mats

Future Interior Mods:
LED bulb swap - Shipping from DiodeDynamics! (Thanks to NickC for such good customer service!)
Accelerator Pedal Extender - for easier heel/toeing

Current Engine Mods:
Oil Pressure Sender

Future Engine Mods:
Maybe an Oil Cooler and AOS for track days.

Current Suspension Mods:
Bounced off a curb in the winter and threw the alignment out so I had a porsche race shop in Freeport redo the alignment - now I know its spot on.

Future Suspension Mods:
KWv3's, sways, etc

Current Wheels/Tires:
Stock & Stock

Future Wheels/Tires:
Sparco Assetto Gara 17x7 & random winter tire setup
Something reputable in 17x9 w/ 245/R40/17 MPSS

End goal: Ridiculous handling.

Reasoning: I rented a 140hp race spec Miata @ Lime Rock and was keeping up with GT3s, M5s, and Camaros. I care more about whipping around a corner super fast than I do about flying down the straightaway at 180mph. I have a motorcycle for straight line entertainment. Subie is for corners.

What bike do you have? Lovely BRZ by the way!

That P3 vent gauge is bitchin!! I bought the wireless plug in unit that connects to the Torque app but haven't done the install yet. This is WAY cleaner and doesn't require a tablet in the car. What kind of A/F ratios have you gotten?

Ahh, I was just looking at the P3.. looks nice!. How hard is it to wire/conceal the cable? You can't stack ODB devices right.. so you can't have this and a Bluetooth adapter right?

That bike looks like a Ducati Monster...i've got one as well and they are blast to ride...

looks a bit more like a Ducati Streetfighter. EDIT: meh i can't tell now. i keep changing my mind. maybe it is a monster. you have one so you're probably right.

that was one of my top three BRZ colors. love the pic!

Ap5512 was right!

It's a 2012 Monster 696 ABS. It is my very first bike and boy am I happy I didn't get a 250cc. The Monster is a beastttt that handles like a scooter. I love it. But I'm thinking of selling it because I rarely get to ride it and insurance isn't too cheap =[

Idle / steady throttle Ive been getting 14.7 - Fuel efficiency design

WOT I get ~12.5 - Ideal power production

Edit: under coasting conditions or engine braking, the gauge shows 25 - I assume this is just the max value the gauge will display and that in reality the car cuts off the fuel injectors, or at least cuts back on them a lotttt

The P3 is phenomenal. If you don't use either of the two 0-5v inputs, wiring it up and concealing everything is straightforward.

The gauge itself is just the screen, and there is a processing unit that looks like a VGA PC connector. It connects to the display thru a 5 wire ribbon cable that can't be more than 1mm thick - so tucking it between the AC duct and vent is easy to do.

I won't say wiring everything up is easy - because crawling under the dash in these cars is a PITA.

There is a metal cross-member in the steering column area that I zip tied everything to. Nothing hits my legs or feet while driving and there is no noise or any other indicators that there are extra wires under the dash.

I believe you CAN stack OBD devices. I purchased this via the group buy on this forum from FA20Club and they offered an OBD Y splitter - So I assume you can use 2 OBD readers simultaneously.

Hope that helps
