Haha. I know. When I have more money I'm going to make coilovers out of my Bilsteins. and cut the rear springs a bit.

 

Sounds good just looks a little high in the pics. Maybe find a spare set of OEM springs and cut them for now.

 

It may not be as low as I would like in the front, but I'm not really willing to give up the ride quality to throw on cut stock springs. My lowness may not be there, but the handling sure is, and that's what matters to me, especially now that I have a manual transmission and I'm playing with my tuning.

 

To all is their own. I have cut ones up front and H&R's in the rear. Mine still rides like OEM.

 

Yeah, I just like being able to take turns that have a 35 mph sign at 70 mph without hesitation. Pretty sure on every new car I ever get suspension is going to be the first thing done to it.

 

Agreed same here!

 

I took one coil out of the H&Rs in the rear, rides very nice but it was needed.

 

yah, I would like to take a coil out of the rears so the car sits flatter and not so high up in the rear. but if I do that I feel like the front might look like it sits higher then, and I don't know if I want that. I think I'm just going to leave the suspension alone until I get some IPD springs or can make some diy coilovers.

 

New rear engine mount just about done. Have to tighten all the bolts and get a new bolt for the mount to subframe. Had to torch it to break it loose. Only took me about three hours to get that far. lol

 

that sucks, glad its almost done. I spent a day roasting in the sun to get the exhaust done, I dont like it when things go slower than expected.

 

Exhaust work in the sun doesn't sound fun. Got my new control arms today so tonight I can wrap up the engine mount and throw on the new control arms and hopefully get out of the house.

 

Just finished installing new bulbs in the cluster. And advanced the NA cams to 3*. This should give me some more low end power. Taking it out for a test drive now, hopefully it's a little quicker on the bottom.

 

Hopefully all goes well.

 

I think I just fell in love with the car all over again. More power all around, more so in the low end. Started turning up the boost. I have to try pretty hard not to chirp the tires in first. Started playing with the greddy a little bit more. Man I just can't wait to get a tune. And so far my AFRs are looking pretty good.

 

That is awesome!!!
You have the N/A cams in there right?

 

Yup. It seems that I'm running a little rich though after looking at the table that came with the wideband. What would all cause me to run rich as is that a problem?

 

What was the numbers?

I might need to find me one of the degree wheels you have!

 

I was dipping down to 10.5s WOT, never below 10 though. Found that thread you posted in a while ago on VS about running rich. Sounds like a few people suggest the MAF. Which is a possibility seeing as mines 16 years old w/ 215k miles worth of use. I don't have any vac leaks since it's all silicone and new. Intercooler pipes are all metal. Maybe I'll start with the MAF. I guess I'd rather be rich than lean. It could also be something with the fact that it's a candian spec ECU? I don't know.

 

It is hard to say I am still in the 9's and replaced almost everything that could affect it besides the turbo.
I had a known good MAF and still the same thing.

Are you sure you have no vacuum/boost leaks at all?

 

I mean, I guess anything is possible. But I replaced all of my vac lines when I did the swap with stylin motors. I'm at -17-20 hg at idle. There's no way I have any leaks in the intercooler system. I guess I'll double check everything and try to find a known working MAF.
