Mrfatride's '14 SWP C-Dan journal thread

[mrfatride]

Hey everyone. Just picked up my 2014 SWP STi sedan on 9/21/13. Originally had a PBP sedan on order and they were telling me I would have it in late December. Few days had past and I realized that I was not going to be able to wait that long so my salesperson managed to dealer trade for a SWP sedan. When I went to pick my car up I saw they had a PBP WRX on the lot which made me feel better about getting a SWP sedan. Absolutely love the car and cannot wait to start doing some serious mondifications to the car.

Car currently has an Opensource stage 1 tune. WOW what a difference and the AEM Intake makes bunch of awesome noises. Really cannot wait til spring when the AutoX season kicks into gear.

nice!

I dont know my auto-x classes. Are you trying to be competitive in a particular class, or just go out for a day of fun?

 

[mrfatride]

Thanks! For now its just about having fun. Maybe once i get enough seat time i will work on getting more serious.

Welcome. Very nice.

You can definitely see the power dips in the factory tune and they are where everyone feels them. I'm sure your stage 1 tune took care of some of those nasty hiccups.

 

[mrfatride]

Yeah I noticed the power dip the most at the drag strip. From like 5-6k rpms there was a noticeable flat spot. Hope to go back to the track in the spring to see the difference it made

Really cannot wait til spring when the AutoX season kicks into gear.

Let me know what AutoX events are going down this year. I just moved to Michigan in late 2012 and
haven't found all that stuff yet. I'm definitely down for some AutoX.

I know there is a pretty big group that runs up in east lansing in some of the msu parking lots. Also belle isle usually has some events as well
