^it's me mostly. Had a bit of time waiting for stuff to run on the computer....
Anyway, my Sti got a new hi-flow cat yesterday and the cf driveshaft. It's now a lot more, shall we say, less civilized than before. Haven't dynoed or anything, just installed it yesterday. It really did hammer home a fact, though, that the sti's are bloody hard work. I mean, yesterday, we had to remover the ic (top mount) to get to the darn downpipe!!! I mean, talk about additional work!! And even then, it was a job for contortionist to get to the thing. Had to go over to a friend's shop to use a car hoist. But it's been worth it....

Wow, I missed alot!
Thanks for all the compliments. And I think the original comment was misunderstood. Alot of people see my dyno and arent impressed. Its the dyno its on. It reads very low. I could probably go dyno close to 300 whp on a dynojet if I wanted to.
For reference I did just hit up teh drag strip and managed a few 12.9s at 106 and 107 mph.
Also I just did my first HPDE and passed a few Evos in my sessions

I went to this one event..... where this one Evo was faster than all these other Evo's, and.... somebody said it was 'cause the other guys didn't know how to drive THEIR Evo's.
I dunno, it kind a made sense.
(OK, sorry, I'll stop)
