Noice.

Thats a bit more than what i expect/want to achieve with my car (200,000kms) before having to think about a possible new car.
That or 10 years ownership.

I like this paint job! Looks like you have some battle wounds on the rear tho.

Went to autox over the weekend. Car performed well, for the first time I've found the "torque dip" is actually an issue in this car since I hate downshifting into 1st. The course was pretty well laid out for this car though and I some how managed to hit a top speed of ~90 kmh.




At autox there were some cool cars:
3UZ swapped Lava


2JZ-GTE GT86


And a very well put together Blobeye STI... makes me miss my old one

LOL I came here and the second picture loaded up before I read anything. I was all “holy shit he did that fast”.

"quick weekend swap, did it all for under 10k in my garage!" or something that the people who have never and will never do an engine swap say .

Not my car but man is it a hoot to watch. He's making about 310whp and the weight is nearly the same as factory.

I had my finger floating above the button to order the JDL this week. Just hard to swallow $1650cad shipped to the border.
HKS is $890 to the border by comparison...

There was a steal of a deal in the classifieds for some EL headers, so I did snag those. Unsure when I will be installing them though. For the tune I've already been in contact with Steve Wiseman and will be tuning via Tactrix just like my old Subaru days.

Wouldn't happen to be the MXP EL V2s would it?

Hoping Steve can do solid JDL tunes on oft. Switching to ecutek now will put me another $500 in the hole

Yep, those would be the ones.

Steve can do OFT tunes for pretty much any set up, he helped me out when I was playing with raising the idle on my stock tune.

I was kicking around buying ecutek, but with a flex fuel set up I don't see the need for map switching to swap fuel types... or boost levels since I'm staying NA. I've driven a few ecutek cars with rev-matching and don't like it, I don't drag race or do much autox so launch control isn't something I need. Figured I would save nearly $800 and go the Tactrix route

Beat me to it haha. I was next in line to get that!

I PM'd Steve on FB about tunes to get his thoughts before pulling the trigger.

only if you want e85 blend? If not OFT is just fine.

Keep in mind with OFT doing FF tune you need to have a kit that is evap reference. With Steve’s help I was able to convert my ptuning kit from rear o2 reference to evap.

Yep, we've discussed that. I actually just ordered Gerald's kit configured in 0-5v and evap set up for Tactrix tuning.
