Just drove it 35miles back to the office.

No visibility? Check.
Louder than hell? Check. Test pipe added a new level.
Vibrates and rattles? Check. Motor mounts helped out.

I need to get use to all the new sounds...

Yea i thought my car was loud before the testpipe, but a testpiped X is crazy loud.

Hopefully the new loudness drowns out the rattles, i know it did on my car.

Your car was in great hands!

It'll be back in a few weeks for the tune and then we'll see what it does. It's clearly down on power but I've been getting by with a sub-100hp vehicle for a few months here. lol.

Congrats on getting the car back! Can't wait to see what numbers it puts down. How many miles of break in are you doing?

A test pipe makes a car louder?

However many miles I put on before getting on Shane's schedule. From what I've gathered there's no firm opinion on such things. I'll just follow the oil change schedule that he suggested.

Need to make an appt with Jeff for a corner balance/align as well.

Is there anything you aren't changing? :) I am sure the car will be a beast on the track.

I think the stock Evo alignment is done by a blind guy with a hammer.

Put 150 miles on it yesterday getting my Dad's car back to him. Next oil change today.

The additional lag makes 5th gear easier to deal with.

Went to Valvoline for an oil change...had the whole staff standing around my car and bullshitting. That's one thing that I enjoy about having a car like this.

On the way out of there I tried a 3rd gear pull and holy crap. The untuned spool is pretty late but that also gives it quite a hit when it comes on. The BOV with the upgraded spring is surprisingly loud.

What oil are you having them put in?

Shane said conventional 10w40 until 4500 miles. Changes at 150, 500, 1500.

With track days over the Summer I'll undoubtedly change a few times between 1500 and 4500.
