That was an old quote you pulled up there. It is 3.40 now, better than before but not super cheap.

It is time to fill up again, I just got 20 mpg. This new motor and super short jdm six speed doesn't help the mpg. I am also in the process of finishing the tune so I should see a little better mpg.

Installed this proto tuning tool holder for my access port... super clean look vs the old solution (universal GPS dash mount)

good god, i cant be using slogans in daily life! but i can use my snuggy while i slap chop a salsa and clean up with my oxy clean sham-wow.

im growing concerned for my car though, i think i'm going to swap spark plugs and get the oil changed either tonight or tomorrow...

Installed my APR GTC-200!

Topped her tank off and did the DANCE OF AGES!!!

My STi managed 28mpg on this last full tank at Cobb stg2 v93. My old age and patience has paid off.

My 3 year high.

^^^Sweet Raptor Jeebus!!!

[SlverEJ20]

cleaned my headlight lenses.

[CamaroFS34]

I'm sitting at IAG right now, getting a new clutch and flywheel installed. Oh, and while it's here, getting the oil changed and everything checked out so that it's ready for the cross country trip at the beginning of July.

Hold on, you're going from a VF-43 and a top mount to a 16G and a front mount?

Haha you've got it!

[prescottn6ft7]

Your car, but I don't see the point. 10-15 more whp but then slap a fmic and you've erased your gains with lag.

Sounds like words from a man who has never had a front mount. Incredibly speculative and.....well, not true at all.

[Uncle Tattoo]

i have very little lag with my fmic and 16g. then again i also have gmbcs, 6 speed, and a good tune.

The 16g spools quicker than the VF43 to begin with so if anything it stays the same(21.3psi by 3200)
But lag can't be tuned out to a point so no worries there

And also the gains arnt just horsepower its the reliablity of cold air at all time...(co2/water sprayer on the front of the IC possibly

Plus I've got everything exhaust and IC wise wrapped or coated... My exhaust isn't gunna be huge #'s but it'll be 1 of the most efficient 2.0L's you've ever seen

This setup has been thought about and talked about by me to many reputable people with the same answer each time from them

On a Subaru no I haven't because the top mount has been efficient on both Subaru's I've had now, but on 2 different DSM's I did... it depends more on core size and amount of boost more than anything, I respect anything anyone wants to do to THEIR car which is why I started the sentence that way... on a 16G I don't really see the point personally other than aesthetics though... My actual main reason I'd never be interested in a FMIC is 90% of the FMIC setups I have seen for this car is the impact bar has to be removed or compromised by hacking it up to get it to mount on the front of the car (and the loss of the fog lights).

[Uncle Tattoo]

while my turboxs fmic did compromise the crash bar, it still lets me keep my fogs. even the JDM's and my custom PIAA's.

I'll put it this way: unless you're using a TD04 and an APS 725, the difference in spool characteristics between a top mount and a front mount are negligible. The crash bar is really only an issue if you regularly drive like an idiot. Also, as Uncle Tattoo said, a lot of front mount kits these days allow you to retain fog lights.

anyone who's bored out of their ass want to help me do any or all of the following to my car:

-remove entire exhaust
-wrap new divorced dp w/heat wrap
-remove leaking vf34 & replace coolant pipe/copper washers
-wrap turbo w/heatwrap
-replace turbo inlet w/perrin one
-reinstall turbo & downpipe & put new heatshield on
-reinstall new catback exhaust onto new downpipe & hangars
-install new TMIC coupler kit on new sti TMIC
-replace lower engine mounts & tranny mount w/new group n's
-install wilwood BBK on front & rear w/new ss brakelines
-blow up engine and/or transmission and/or wreck car after testing new parts above

Hence my issue .... in all seriousness it's not my driving I'm scared of. It's the other people on the road.

[EvileyeZ88]

I broke my AC idler pulley, and its supposed to be 100+ tomorrow

Ahem, you mean a usdm 2.0 correct? The ve of any jdm 2.0 is way better than 95% of usdm motors.

When we trading hood scoops? I want more flow for my tmic!
