Changed headers from = to not =. Found the source of a Power Steering leak, bad rack and pinion. Power Washed the engine bay, and the hole car. Lost the speedo signal due to water getting into the sensor plug, 3 WOT pulls and it cleared out with the heat. Cleaned the interior a little bit. Filled the meth tank and added a bottle of redline fuel system cleaner to the tank, quite amazed to see a change in the A/f, the aem seams to keep it more consistent now during normal driving. Maybe I have a bad injector, ho knows.

Gonna tighten up the front lip after an unfortunate encounter with an ice/snow chunk, and fiddle with the reverse lock-out to get rid of my rattle hopefully.

My 05 STi finally arrived today! Sold my 04 WRX almost 2 weeks ago and have been impatiently waiting for this beast to get here from San Diego ever since. One of the side splitters got damaged from the transport truck though :grumble:
First order of business: get it registered and inspected. Then tint the windows.
Pics and more info will be posted in the Introductions forum soon!

Changed my tune but I went a little lean at about 15 psi. Need to richen it up a little more due to knock. Was running 11.80-12.0:1. Found out that if I don't change my Map sensor, I will not be able to boost past 23 psi... Balls.

I got most of the ice off my car then put it in the garage to do some work but didn't want to lay in the puddle of water around my car because of the melted ice. So i cleaned the inside of my car instead.

You using the map sensor and stock boost solenoid? A three port or a mbc would make it work...

Using a MBC. The problem with the aem is that it wont let you rise the Fuel cut psi above of what the sensor range is "unlike the factory ecu". And for all that I know I can't disable the FC.

Picked up a gasket for the new exhaust, and got emissions tested. She passed! We'll have to see if I pass again in a year or two with the COBB tbe and tune...

I had the Ingersol rand solenoid which is the same core as the perrin one and the aem one. I like how my hallman mbc works. Right now I need to buy an aem 3.5bar map sensor.

As for whats up with my sti today... A bird pooped on it... white diarrheal type of poop.

That sounds about right. Can't wait to see what power it will make.
