Yep I get it too, n have an 05. I started to get it after cams and tuned as well. It could be coincidence though. I have since gotten 1 step colder iridium plugs and sun hyperforce system, so maybe that will help me get rid of this code. Will keep you posted.

BTW, I have also read that regapping your plugs may help as well, though its not recommended to gap iridiums.

^^ Are you guys referring to the P0300 misfire code? "Engine Idle Speed". I used to get that every once in a while right when i started the car cold, and revved it up, then id get that code. ODB2 cleared it.

last call for a DDP wideband tune. this guy has made awesome power on my IX RS on a Mustang dyno. the tune is this weekend pm me for details. he'll get your turbo spooling sooner, set your launch control etc.. he has great experience with evo's as he owns 3 of them. one of which makes 427hp on a Mustang dyno. also he was the first 2nd gen DSM into the 11's according to Turbo Magazine. so he's a legit tuner. don't think this is some parking lot flash from some chump w/ a laptop, he's really good.
Evo IX's--$175
Evo VIII's--$150
WRX/STI's--$175

Les Schwab....before i went there, i had the camber bolts facing out (-2), the guy that did my car said there is no recommended setting for it on their computer so he left it alone., the rear is-1.3 from the drop im assuming.(-1 stock)anyways, they said toe is the one that matters for even tire wear., ....
hey do you have the workshop manual cd?, i have it both for VIII and IX's., if you wanna copy it.
