Build is looking good so far! The new ST looks great, nice to have another hot hatch option. Did 6speed trade her Veloster?

So I also had Bob @Drift-Office tune the car this past weekend... couple things we learned/noted...
1- While the Injen intake seems to give the best gains on an otherwise stock car, it's not terribly great to tune with. It's inconsistant and somewhat annoying. 2- 15in wheels with snow tires effect power output (not in a good way ) - Which I expected after experience with snow tires, drag radials, and slicks with small wheels and tires on previous cars3 - The car did make power everywhere in the powerband after the tune and felt way more buttery and way quicker to rev. Peak was about +9whp and +9wtq. But the real story is the gains everywhere in the rev range. without further ado, the dyno chart - Only mods are injen intake and a perrin pulley as I didn't have the front/over pipe or cat-back installed for this.

Started the install for my Agency Power over/front pipe and Invidia Q300 cat-back but I'm missing a pair of washers to install the mid-pipe so I'm done tonight, taking Seattle's awesome public transport to work tomorrow (seriously, its awesome - and free as my company pays for it), and finishing up tomorrow night after getting a pair of washers at home depot before I start, then once she is back on the ground, I'll try and post a video or two.

Installed. Videos to come.
Basically from inside the car, sounds like stock. Outside has a little grumble but not much at all. Honestly it's perfect. With the turbo kit, it should be basically stock sounding until it's WOT, especially because the kit has a bypass valve not a BOV.

After the dyno inconsistencies with the injen intake and the stalling issues (that weirdly got worse after the tune) - I decided I'd swap to a more stock setup... So here's the AVO turbo world intake tube and the AVO filter re-installed

Next order of business as far as the exterior is concerned is going to buy the dr color chip kit for the rock chips I accumulated so far
![]() I'll have to clear-bra the car afterwards. I'd like to get the Evasive Motorsports Downforce CF Lip and sideskirts, then the TRD Japan Rear Spoiler also.

However the consensus is (out here anyway) East Coast stuff happens first. So keep a lookout.
