Hey Dan... I'm glad you're enjoying the tune. I was very impressed to see the whole swap done so cleanly and everything just running well overall. Well at least once we took that intake of yours out .

I can't wait till you open up that exhaust some more and we can shoot for 300ft-lbs+... gonna be quite a ride in that L!

That torque is great in the light L. I hear the car spins all 4 at 40mph if the road is damp

Optima red-top battery installed today. (I know, not very exciting)

Doesn't anyone know where I can get a set of GC door panels? Come on!

Thanks to Jeremy from Crucial for his advice and great parts.

And of course, thanks to everyone else who helped on the project -- I couldn't have done it without you. Jon, Matt, Anthony, Kenny, Sean and most of all my girlfriend Maya, who probably turned more bolts on the car than I did. =)
*.* Aww so sweet, so sweet! One is glad to be of service!

...Building a car, patiently teaching me *every day* everything I know about cars, tools, specs, torques. *ermmn teach me how to speak clearly and in complete sentences*, giving me a ride to the train station every morning and picking me up every evening, having to travel long distances and adjust to a different time zone, and much more >.<

You are awesome! You rock my world and I love you!

Ahhhhhh well there's something wrong with my driver's side head. (Err, on the engine, not the one on my shoulders) Nasty ticking at idle. I guess I'll be going to a built motor sooner than I had expected! Stay tuned!

Also, my custom plates came in, so I'm now sporting EJ257GC.

I've got a new project going as well -- we traded in the 05 STI for a 2007 Forester XT Sports in WRB. Coilovers, sway bars, wheels and tires are already on the way. I'll post some pictures next week. I was planning more, brake upgrade, etc, but I guess that money is going towards the GC's motor instead. Ah well...

Glad to hear that the engine is ok. Hey my list of "waiting to be installed" parts is just as long as yours, hehe. Don't forget to add "Primitive v6 Sti Side Skirts" to the list
