I threw the RacingBrake ET500 pads back in and some black Centric front brake rotors today.

While Scheides was here two weekends ago we decided to go ahead and remove the evap charcoal canister system since we've been talking about attempting it for almost a year. Once removed I'm guessing it saves about 10 lbs. and the car runs just as good as it always has. This was the final emissions system left on my car :)

My SpoolinUp COP setup arrived today so I threw it on and went for a test drive a little bit ago. It uses used (~60k mile JDM take-offs) Toyota (made by Denso) coils. I kept my stock (46k miles) spark plugs in for now and plan to replace them tomorrow with some Denso IKH24 plugs. The car seems to run and drive very smooth, but I can't honestly say the COP made any noticeable difference like a lot of people on EvoM are claiming. One of the coil plugs also rubs on my o2 sensor plug which I'm not real thrilled about. It sure does look nice though :) Once I get the plugs replaced tomorrow I'll do a better job of routing and tucking the wires.

TITS!! I like that! Prius coils ftw..I can't believe I didn't try this since I threw out TONS of them due to warranty coverage on prius's with em..

I believe these are actually the Celica coils, but I think Scheides kit has the Prius coils.

Did you register your car in Texas? If so, you had better keep that emissions stuff because they do emissions testing every year. Looks good though!

It still has MN plates on it, but there are ways of passing the emissions testing ;) The WRX is catless and we already got it inspected and registered.

*update*
After some more driving around the car does seems to be accelerating from a stop and driving at low RPM (<2000) a bit smoother. Its tough to say if thats due to the COP or my 46k miles plug wires and boots being due for replacement. I'll change the spark plugs tomorrow as soon as the FedEx man arrives and report back then!
