alright my WRX is now stage1+ did a waterless wash after a quick test drive. car drives completely differently now. at 95F today couldnt really tell how much more power it was making but output was a lot more linear as expected so im happy with it. nothing spectacularly fast, my Golf-R is night and day faster..
but considering its just my dd, i like it. should make for a fun commute.

yah at 70F the am, my WRX is definitely faster now. i don’t think it being faster dan a stock STI is a lie.
the throttle is linear pretty much to redline which makes it weird to drive now dat i’ve gotten use to dat odd subaru map. lol
have a good friday and weekend everyone!

da drive home in my WRX was fun. but after stopping by at ups to drop off a couple of boxes, i start the car and it sputtered for like 3sec before turning over. had the same issue twice (out of many starts) on the aem intake too. i think i need to prime the fuel before i start da car. will see if dat helps. basically hit the start button twice, count to 3 before clutch-in and hit push-start again.

motored my STI, had a blast as always. yah, my STI is night and day sportier dan my WRX. i still like the engine in my STI over the one in my WRX too. hell of a lot more responsive and linear, plenty fast for street. the cusco brake cylinder brace made a nice improvement on the braking feedback as everyone states. braking feels even more solid now. very good. very happy. lots of win this week.
i think i will do one on my WRX along with the stb down the road as well.

motored the Golf-R this am, had a relaxing and real enjoyable time. stopped to take snaps as well.
got home spot QD'ed the car, brushed up on a few areas on the clearbra and cleaned the interior. while organizing the garage, amazon dropped off the black mcguard installation kit for my WRX. going to swap out the lugs when its time for the Prodrives. never liked running nickel plated lugs (stock) on dark wheels. this installation kit comes with 16 black (two piece) spline drive lugs with 4 black locks. very nice system.
also verified that i have a 1L bottle of dot3/4 for the GK.
this week the only thing im going to be working on is the cusco brake cylinder brace on the WRX.
