I just drove it up to the neighbor's and back. Needs an alignment bad, the steering wheel is 1/4 turn right to go straight.

I did a half-assed aligment (eye balled it) and have taken it for a few short spins. With the open exhaust it needs a bit more fuel in boost. I tossed in 10% accross the board, it still goes a bit lean. I added some more but haven't tried it yet.

I need to do a better alignment or something though. It seemed to get a bit squirrelly a couple times that I got on it. Maybe it's just the front diff + the roads or something but it was enough to surprise me the second time.

I put the rest of the exhaust on as well, made it much quieter, inside at least. Straight 3" ending next to the rear diff.

So bring up one of your rims and we can make the toe adjuster things to attach to your rims, and almost 1000lbs less will have A LOT of effect on how fast the car is, and load so the tune will be a little off. A little less tree dodging and more aligning/tuning. Its nice to see the IC and radiator holding up nice.

word, 1000lbs less will really throw off the load for the car. Hit me up when you are ready to try to tune it (Thursdays work best now, I have an opening next week).

So, after a bunch of little finishing touches (making sure everything it bolted down, zip tied and in general order) and some cleaning, I'm ready to put it through it's paces tomorrow. I am attending the intermediate school MAC is putting on, so not a competition event, but it should be a good test and shake down.

So, it was an easy fix. Apparently my AEM really wanted to be in an EVO. So after a reminder (firmware and cal upload) it figured out that it's in something with a few more cylinders. :D

So it just randomly switched two cylinders off? Seems kinda weird to me.

[MustGoFaster]

AEM's will sometimes do weird things when you have a latop hooked up to them. It is a little weird to switch off two cylinders, normally it will just die and not start untill you just cycle the power to the ECU.

Here you thought it was a PTU ;).

Sounds awesome, great to see it running man!
