I appreciate the thoughts guys. I think I will research it a little and give it a go. I am going to retain the TMIC as long as it makes sense to. I won't really be digging into power mods until the motor starts to tire or something breaks. I was going to do the DP and get it tuned, but...
Welcome, what are the future plans for the car? Why did you choose to do the mods you have so far? Did you get the car tuned following the mods (specifically the intake)?
Last night I bought a used Cobb turbo heat shield on Ebay. It will need some TLC but I got it for $35, I figure if it helps under hood temps even a few degrees it will be worth the effort. Anyone use the heat reflective tape? @Batmobile_Engage @HolyCrapItsFast Does it work or just look pretty...
And I can’t help myself... just added the bottom locking rings to help prevent ride height adjustment slipping and make any adjusting/rebuilds easier (less possibility of the ring seizing)

This is the first part of a multi-part review for Cygnus Performance and specifically the X-1 Coilovers they sell.
First off, I messaged Cygnus around 10pm a few nights ago and the next day around 3pm I received a phone call from Geoff at Cygnus. He took 52 minutes to talk to me about options...
7898 - that sounds great. I pulled the trigger on the Cygnus X1 coilovers so I will be posting a good bit when those come in. I'll probably document a little of the process and definitely will review them. I am trying to decide if I want to go to my buddy's Dad's garage to use his nice lift...
7895 - Yeah, of late I just monitor the site but have not been posting. It would be nice to see an influx of new activity but for the most part I think people join here as a learning resource and the occasional urgent question. I'd like to grow the review section so that people think to come...
Did you get some background on what all was done with the car? Would be nice to know who tuned it since a FMIC was put on. MBC was on it? Don't love that. Did you get it retuned since getting it?
Hello boys and girls, finally a note worthy update here. I had a great (almost 1 hour) conversation yesterday with Geoff from Cygnus Performance about suspension. I'm going to have a little more back and forth with him today but I think I will be ordering a set of the X-1 coilovers with...
7893 - Just stopping in to say hello on my lunch break. Might actually have a modification for the STi coming. I'll go update my journal. Hope everyone is doing well.
7891 - Glad to hear you kept your job. My wife and I have been fortunate with our jobs as well. Financially 2020 didn't really hurt us but it's all been a shit show since October 2019 for my family. Between my sister getting killed, Covid, and some truly stupid conversations with family about...
7889 - Congrats! And enjoy. Kids are awesome.
@Alin - Honestly...I'll just see where the car takes me. Each item that starts to rattle, wear, or fail will become a reason to learn everything I can about it and replace it with something better if possible. I use to have big plans which...
7883 I get that, I sold my 06 years ago because I saw the money pit potential and I really needed to be rid of my student loans. My 15 is paid off this June, so then it is time to decide if I am doing more to it or leaving it alone.
Yeah still in PA, up near Williamsport
Just taking a few days to hang out and hike with the family.
Not much planned.
We rented a cabin through Airbnb for $89/night, tough to beat for a nice little place with everything we need.
I’ll take some pictures to post.
