My Ride
nice ride, The red looks good. Nice numbers also. Doesnt it say m2 cosworth cams in your go fast parts. Then I noticed you said you want cams. Did you make your power with or without.
The M2's gave me more power up top. Car pulls harder from 5K up, unfortunately I lost a little down low, but the car feels much smoother now with the Brian Crower valve springs and retainers. I'd say my 1st gear pulls have a little less pull than before, probably making more power but it feels a little slower, 2nd gear is kinda a wash since this is when you start feeling the power gains of the cams in the upper rpms. Third gear is definitely faster with the M2's vs the stock cams and it pulls much harder than before. Personally I like the new setup, car doesn't feel so jerky and just feels more powerful overall. There's still a lot of tuning I have to do since the install but so far even with a preliminary tune the car feels better than before.
No I have not run it out at bandimere for the simple fact that it's my DD and I can't afford to have a broken axle or transfercase, or whatever for that matter. Maybe next year when I finally get a new DD civic or Impreza RS
The car is pretty sick and a great street car though. As it sits now I'm assuming it has around 380 whp which is plenty quick for DD use. Any more mods and it's gonna be tough to scoot around the city without it being a total pain in my butt.
