Thanks guys. I do what I can heheh

Ryan, that was a blast having you ride along. I like to think of my driving style as 11/10th's...I just push it a little past what it should be. I can't wait to get a full coilover setup so I can push it harder and beat the STi guys even more

Brian, I remember that day in the RSX, heheh that was fun

 

haha, i remember thinking "this is controlled madness" as i flew around the inside of your car, left to right, front to back.

 

Heh, Controlled Madness, that's perfect

 

Tim had a harness this weekend so I was pretty well locked in place

 

lol, i mean that respectfully, even though i know we're outta control, i know you have things under control.

Tim's one of the few people that i'd willingly let behind the wheel of my car. (preferably on track even )

 

Thanks Brian, I think we've both come a long ways from the early days.

Changing the subject a little, are you still using the stock intake and uicp? My flex piping is tearing next to the battery terminal. It's almost like it expands so much that it's been rubbing against the postive terminal...I really don't want to go with an aftermarket intake but I need to replace the flex pipe.

 

i've been running the injen intake since about 3 months after getting the car, then later on i did upgrade and i'm running the piping and FMIC also.

 

Did you need to retune after putting the Injen intake on? And does it clear the battery?

 

Tim - I highly suggest a mini-battery. It helps lighten the front up and has more than adequate cranking power. I have the nisei mini battery kit. You drop about 20 pounds, I think. I have one in mine and have had no problems whatsoever.

The Injen Intake and IC pipe combo is pretty nice - Scott at TTP-Engineering runs it on his 11 sec Evo VIII MR. I would highly reccomend it as its affordable, looks good and has proven gains....Hard to find all 3 features in one product most of the time

Let me know if you need help picking mods, I want to see you stick to the M3's even more next time

 

The biggest problem is tuning. Xede and intakes don't play well at all together without a tune, and I don't know how to tune prperly. What I'd really like is just a replacement for the flex pipe. I dunno, I'm still researching my options

 

thats whats nice about the utec, and the software thats been made for it. I have an onboard wideband.

It logs it all anytime you want to. So do a pull and check it, make sure theres no knock etc. it isn't foolproof at all, and turboxs's customer support is worse than horrible, but ehh, it works, i guess.

 

The xede does that as well and I'm using wideband too but even if there's a problem that means I would have add or remove timing/fuel whatever and I'm cluless when it comes to all the tables

 

haha, it's not that hard, i've done mine, and it's workable, been running it at however many events

 

Yea true...I'll let you know what I end up with. You know me, I'll probably end up with something completly different than what I'm going after

 

So do you guys ever get together?

Saw a silver evo tonight on 235 in Des Moines. Tossed a wave back. Someone on here?
