Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Thanks
its the jdm rear. known to cause this problem. throw it in the garbage.

on a serious note. when was the last time you changed your battery.

Lol, that extra led is probably sapping all my juice.

Still my stock battery , just over 4 years old now. I guess it could be the battery but the crank doesnt sound any slower or weaker. Just takes more of them.

Hopefully not the latter.

If its the starter, youd think id have the issue with every startup, not just the first one right?

I would replace the battery, its a miracle the stock one is still working, and try that. You need a new battery sooner or later, its better to be ahead of the curve than behind it.

If that doesn't fix it then the starter is next.

I ended up going a different route. But a safe bet is 12" for each step up. If you are using a 2"x10"

4 steps = 8" overall

12" top plank
24"
36"
48" bottom plank

Its not hard just measure twice cut once. You can add more length to each plank if your car is even lower. The longer the plank length the more gradual the slope increase.

Is the stock one really known to be that bad? Im praying its not a bad fuel pump or starter. But it makes sense that its the battery since it only does this on cold starts after 10 hours or more of being off.

Im gunna buy a multimeter tomorrow and test it out.

Ordered an STI lip and some red demon eyes (and a stubby cf antenna). I'm heading to Canada for a few weeks so it'll be awhile before anything goes on.
