Last night the girlfriend and I went to go to IHOP and on the way we ran into a little fun. We were driving down xxxrd in NT and a yellow WRX pulled along side of us, then the typical thing happened, he nodded then I nodded back. He proceded to down shift to I’m guessing 2nd :gotme: , I slowed down a little bit as well so we can stage a roll. He honked his horn three times (I was happy cause thats on my plate. . . so it kind of payed off. “RUNEMON3”). We were even for whatever gear he was in, then he shifted and I pulled. . . shifted again and pulled some more. :tup: He seemed like a cool guy for the four secs. that I talked to him.
Then on the way back from IHOP we drove by mighty and saw a bunch of old cars leaving so I just got in line and followed them around town for a little while. We did a few little pulls down xxxdr but nothing major. I would have to guess the fastest one of the bunch was the old school yellow trans-am :gotme: . We ended up lining up at a light and I pulled about a car to a car an a half on him then he shut down.
Good times last night. . . to bad I can’t go WOT yet.
:tup: to any of these people if they are on here.
No not really. . .It still needs to be tuned. I bought the DHP power tuner and laptop but I have no idea what I’m doing. I did do a case learn though lol. Its running to rich still.
After our little run we cought a light for a few secs. and I asked him what he has done and he told me something something stage 2 with about 16psi. I have no idea what that crap means as far as power wise for a WRX.
Well. . .I’m upper LTFT’s @ idel, according to that I’m running lean. But if you stand behind my car it burns your eyes from the gas. I’m guessing thats from the cat. delete and big cam :gotme:
That would be Cobb STG. 2 @15.1psi. I was having major boost problems…I couldnt break 15.3 in 3rd. So I kept messing with the wastegate with no help, THEN I changed my plugs yesturday and BANG!!! 16.3 in third, 15.6 in second…problem fixed.
Now…about the “pulling” you speak of. Im aware that your G/F was in the car, but from what I saw couldn’t have been more than 120 soaking wet. I dont recall you pulling me in my 3rd gear. You did slightly “pull” at the top of my 4th, then I shut down. What sucks is that I believe that my 4th is somewhat overdriven. That was a pretty damn close run, I don’t agree with the description of it. Therefore, im gonna need to meet up to settle this. OH YEAH…you wernt WOT!! omg. I am at target boost now, therefore I have no excuses, Ill run tonight, or whenever you CAN run WOT. Plus id like to check out your ride. get in touch.
p.s. “ROBHIMSELF”, this is Kevin, I helped Jarrod with his motor mounts with you…remember? that was ‘you’ right?
*** I concider this an open case, don’t bring your GF:) Tell her shes slowing you down LOL.
sorry if this seems harsh, im in a super bad mood right now. Having problems with my 2 day old Razr v3m!! WTF.
I was just given some bad news…My Bro has a 2004 Mustang Mach1 with a catless H-pipe and flowmasters. When we would race we would be dead even when I was at 15.3. He just changed his rear end fluid to Redline lightweight shockproof, est. hp increase of 3-4 at wheels. I fixed the boost. We just raced a min ago and he gets me by 1/3 of a car in 2nd and I stopped him in 3rd. sigh. I thought I was gonna walk away from him. I needed to gain on him to keep up with you without the GF in the car.
Nice GTP man, Ill try to make some meets!!
Im assuming you wouldnt want to race one from a dig for shits and giggles… I could work some 4500rpm clutch slipping AWD magic that would have you looking at my tailights…:D.
That WRX drives around here all the freakin’ time. I know he’s cut me off a couple times. I can’t remember his name but he’s had the car for a couple years. Only thing I remember was that his dad was the D.A.R.E. officer that came to our classes back in elementary school. It’s quite a nice car.
Where are you from Samsara? And i thought i read that you had a yellow WRX…ive actually only saw one other yellow one around my area…and some girl was driving…
I cut you off? O man sry, I try to drive pretty reasonable. I live in NT, and have had the car since 03’. I see sonic yellow here and there…
FREAKGTP what kind of engine managment do you have, is that fully user tunable? If so I would also suggest a wideband. My good friend has a new wideband that he bought for his TSI. I have never hooked one up myself but I would assume that you just stick it in a bung around the downpipe area, and run it in your car? I CANT speak for him, but ill see if he’ll let you use it someday. He lives close to you, good tuning location.
