eh i regret the subs and amp... I am not really big on music. NEver the less every thing else, Testpipe, catback, intake, strutbar.... I love the rest of this stuff especially my $500 greddy catback, and my newest additon the RRM testpipe.

bobaab: The K-BAr really does help the car's cornering what are you talking about, when i put that thing in and turned the car just kept turning when usually it would slide forward.

well let that be a lesson to you, if your going to spend all that money on a turbo, may as well get it intercooled, there is no doubt in my mind that a intercooled lancer will eat a wrx... for less money too

i think you read my post wrong, i said that it did change the feel of the car.

but it wasnt worth having the k-bar for me because I wanted to stay in a more competitive class when i go autocrossing. by putting on that k-bar it bumps me up into a way harder class where everyone is swimming with mods

and lancer03_Mike, i sold it already, the price was 100 + shipping if you wanted to know and no, it does not interfer with anything. just bolt on and go

So I said f-them and got them sand blasted and painted for 175 bux. They are weak, how could it be my fault if the clear coat was coming off all 4 only on the polished lip and no where else? Plus their lugs suck huge butt.

There is a screw on the bottom of the MAF that is under a bunch of silicone that adjusts the amount of unaccounted for air travelling around the the sensor. You can screw it out and gain that little bit more airflow but it really leans out the car bad and you can never get it right again.

I beat a stock wrx by 3 cars when I was at 5 PSI ... so you should have no problem beating one at 7 psi intercooled or not. maybe u just had your boost controller hooked up wrong, that was a problem I had for a while and I lost alot of power because of it.

Back on topic ... worst mod I ever did was my STEREO SYSTEM !!!! It banged too hard and hurt my head lol, I kept bass on -6 all day long and it still hit hard as hell. Best thing I ever did was take it out!! WOOOOT
