My AccessPort arrived in the mail today and I installed my first map.

It's one of them fancy 10th anniversary commemorative silver AP's; The type men with monocles and top hats use.

I'm still learning how to make the most out of the device but so far it's pretty neat and it gives me some reading material for a few weeks. I hope to do my first data log this weekend.

I ordered mine like a week before they announced that 10 years thing. Was upset at first but then I really didn't care.lol. I guess I just wanted a chance at the gold one to get all the parts for free

Today I went Stage 2 with Cobb intake and box paired with an Invidia Catted down pipe
Running the 91 map because I'm not tripping off of .5 psi. When I get the new TMIC and EBCS on then I may go back to a 93 map



Done and done, for now. My baby is Stage 2 now and breathing like a beast.

Yeah, free parts would have been nice.

And in fairness this silver face plate is so similar to the default one that if I didn't know there was a lottery going on I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference.

Got my Cobb AP in the mail today too, but I have service this weekend where I intend to complain about the idling issue that I, and many others I have read about are experiencing. So no flashy flashy until they look at it.

Made cost inquiries to various vendors about a Quaife ATB front differential for my Forester.

Yesterday I ordered JDM OEM front aero spats and Zero/Sports rear bumper skirts.

Restored the headlights on my catfish at work. They look so much better now.

The drivers side was just as bad

Finally got around to installing my truhart rear lateral links.

Haven't had a rear sway bar since last September (endlinks mounting tabs snapped off) i had just been dreading the "FukYou" knuckle bolt.









Originally from Chicago with 32,000 miles, it has spent the n
Last 62,600 miles in northern VA hell.

So yeah, there was alot of rust to fight.

Next weekend, STI LCA's, roll centering kit, new inner tie rod ends, and sedan axles.

What brand of swaybar is that? The reason I asked is that I noticed that you are using the Kartboy endings and I've have clearance issues with those endlinks, Perrin swaybar, and adjustable lateral links. There was some very dramatic bending issues with the Eibach ones, but just some rub makes since I've switched to Truhart for the rear lateral links. I think that the problem is that the Kartboy endlinks are shorter than the factory ones.




Here's how it looked with the Perrin bar:


Then this is what happened:


Here's how it looks with the Truhart link. Maybe I installed something wrong, but I can't figure it out.

It's a perrin bar for the STI, I have a wagon, so there have been issues since day one.

If you look at the right side endlink, you can see a groove that the sway bar etched out in it.

Also the reason I had to replace the lats was because the endlink mounting brackets broke off the lateral links.

I'm gonna be watching them to see if there are any clearance issues.

I guess that explains why it is longer. I wonder if you could have just used the STi lateral links and endings. They seem like they would be better since the endlinks are shorter and just go straight up instead of wrapping around the back of the lateral links.

I'm thinking about switching to Perrin endlinks, does anyone know if they are the same length as the factory ones?

Well after looking at it, I'm having a clearance issue.

I'll see if the sti rear endlinks I have make any difference.
