is that so? And you're an auto right? That's one hell of a tune! you're using ecu flash right?

 

What kind do you have? I had a set of UHP summer tires I put on right after I first turbo'ed, cant think of the brand atm but tire rack gave them a good high rating of dry traction. Not so good with the wet . Still could spin through first and second in 90 degree weather. The tires I have now are much cheaper though which Im sure doesnt help much.

 

I used to have Yokohama S drives and would spin all first and second . Picked up some Contiental Extreme contact Dw and only spin a bit a first gear !
Here is a video of the S drives

Yup i thank my tunner ! Has been the same tune for over a year now with no issues and i always punch it lol , I also always take it to the track and to the race meets and play with Evo's , Sti's & Srt4's

It is auto and yes it is on ecu flash

 

Well hopefully my stuff will be here Monday or Tuesday to fill my mounts. I hope this helps my shift knock. That would be sweet if it eliminates it.

 

Uuuuuuggggghhhhh... Car is down for like the... well I've lost count how many times this year its been down. Got off work tonight and went out to leave. No clutch pressure at all. Wtf man just isnt my year. Tried bleeding it in the parking lot with no luck but I also didnt have any fluid with me to refill the res so might try again tomorrow. For now I had to tow it home. The thing that really sucks is I just got two side jobs lined up so I have two trucks sitting in my driveway waiting to be fixed so my car has to wait if it does turn out my slave that I just installed is ****ed

 

Well garage is finally free and I've calmed down about the car lol. Tranny is coming out tomorrow before work and should have time to setup those mounts to fill as well.

 

lol its ok dude. i know how u feel.. im down for my 3rd major break this year to.. sad part is.. al lmine are for being stupid and doing stupid things.. not cuz it broke while being operated properly.

 

Most of mine are from me gambling on parts lol. Overall I do very well in my gambles but still sucks when I lose. Went expensive on the clutch and cheap on the slave and look where it got me? Haha oh well the trans is out and I have both set of mounts cleaned and drying waiting to get filled.

 

Yay I have a car again!!! Motor is rock solid now and idle vibration is not bad at all. When you go to let the clutch out though you can tell big time. I like it

 

Well Solid mounts have been in a little over a week now.

Initial impressions
1. Shift knock is GONE, ELIMINATED!!!!!! Tickled pink about this
2. Vibration not bad at all. Even with the idle dips the vibration isn't anything.
3. Whole car just feels more rigid which I like. I now have started revving a little higher during takeoff just because you do get a good deal of vibration during intial 1st gear clutch let out if the rpms are lower (which I always did)
4. It might just be me but initially the car did kind of feel a little slower than before, but yeah might just be me as seems fine now.
5. Traction has been improved I can tell, never had much wheel hop before so nothing to compare there although it hasnt been dry here once since I put these in so cant really test true traction yet but even wet traction I can tell an improvement.


Much better for sure I cant believe I waited this long to do this simple upgrade. Plus now I dont have to worry about putting a hole in my radiator that sits 1/4" from the wastegate lol.

 

What about exhaust noise?

 

Forgot to mention that huh? Exhaust noise has increased in the cabin. Don't quite know or understand why maybe its keeping the downpipe closer to the bottom of the car or something. Still not bad but I wish it was a little quieter.

 

here is an idea for keeping it quiet. I used a dynomax bullet muffler on my dsm located where the cat was and had a full 3" exhaust with an HKS Hi power muffler. the second muffler ( the dynomax) made it a lot more quiet and didnt take away form my horsepower either. Just a thought.

 

Good to know. I might do something after awhile if it gets too annoying.

Well bad news for me. Its quite possible I might not have a job come Jan 1st . The company I work for decided they are closing down one of the 3 stores they have and so the seniority rules and its going by all 3 stores. I am on the edge of the cutoff and could go either way. Worse news is even IF I make the cutoff that will put me back at the bottom so hours may be scarce. 11 yrs and still might not be safe
