date...

Sep 2003
3950 miles

No problems except with my mods (higher boost pressures caused fuel pressure regulator hose to pop off : Turbo XS bypass valve piston jammed in position).
She did sorta give me a hard time (about 6 turnovers) starting up last night but the humidity was like 96%.

Mods
Blitz intake
Turbo XS bypass valve
Greddy profec e-01
Greddy E-manage
Coming Soon : Fujitsubo Legalis R and Godspeed DP

I plan on doing all the shifter bushings and the SS clutch line. Hopefully, I'll get this thing to shift good. That's my only complaint about the car. Most of my rattles were caused by my exhaust install since I used polyurethane exhaust hangers. They're small though, and not noticeable when I have my radio turned up.

exhaust

I'm seriously looking at Fujitsubo Legalis R. As my first post suggests of course. Very nice piece, quiet too, 90db at WOT.
