Ha nice, thought it looked familiar...you get the motor fixed or you still running on 3?

 

He got rid of the 4th piston, "too heavy"

 

Aww bummed I missed this, I'll have the first Sunday of next month marked on my calendar for sure! I'm right up 1 in Pacifica!

 

I heard somewhere that the drivetrain was the hardest part of the car to remove weight from... And that piston just wansn't pulling it's fair share.

But seriously, I'm not sure if i'm running on 3 or 4. It starts when I turn the key and it doesn't stop until I turn it again (or try to accelerate uphill in 5th gear). SO i'm just going to keep driving it on the weekends and in my spare time to see if I can put the final nail in the coffin of this poor 2.0L. Looks like i'll be able to afford the built motor I've been preparing sooner than expected and I'm pretty sure it's bad luck to pull a motor before you've beaten it to within an inch of the end of it's life.

 

But have you tried removing ze driver? let ze car drive you~!

 

haha similar taste man, I love the varis diffuser. too bad i dont want to sell my arm and leg. I cant justify 2k on a diffuser and somehow Id crack in a minute. I have heard there is a ebay replica that is now out, but I dont know how fitment is yet

 

I figured out my idle issue. When we did a prebuy inspection, we took the battery out, which dropped the realtime map out of my AP. When I reflashed in the right realtime map, she runs a lot better.

Thanks for the help guys.

Also, here's my pics from the way home:

 

Nice! Glad it worked out for you bro.

My new beater, so I can tear into Brooke properly and not rush it when I do the STi swap this winter hopefully.
