Probably just a problem im having but check your clearance on the bottom of your block. For some reason my 3in front overpipe combo makes contact with my heads. Maybe mine is just an older model than yours.
Car looking good. Could i ask what youre using to tune your own setup? I was thinking of doing some of my own self tuning. |

We've been using ECUTEK, it's wonderful. I have a friend doing the majority of my tuning, I am not great and only fiddle with basic things

Snowstorm got bad and on my way home, I went off the road at about 25mph. Impreza is done. Going to be testing a cam driven oil drain sump, hopefully setting it up tomorrow. Still need to fix tune for low RPM drivability, it's rough in stop and go

Thank you! I'm alright, I let go of the steering wheel and relaxed my feet at the last second to make sure my joints weren't the ones trying to absorb the impact. The worst part was that the airbag flung my glasses somewhere and I couldn't find them- I drove to the tow yard the next day and found them under the passenger seat

Put on the cam driven oil pump. Waiting for the fujibond to set overnight and will finish tomorrow. We're going to test without a catch tank first, just to see what happens. I don't know if it'll even be able to pull oil until it's full, we'll find out pretty quick. We added assembly lube in the pump gear before assembly

Update- started the car today, working awesome! No leaks or smoking from the exhaust anymore. Only time will tell, and I've yet to really let the car cook with this setup yet, but I have high hopes. Waiting on a blockoff for the oil pan -10an that comes in tomorrow.

Glad you're doing ok man. What single exit where you running? I was think of converting my remark to a single exit.

I know, I have the resonator ready to go on mine, I just haven't had them do it yet. The Greddy was quieter inside the car by a little bit, but much much much louder outside the car. The first day I swapped it, people were like " I heard you from like 2 miles away"
