Getting ready for PG2014.2 yesterday, took care of a bunch of little stuff. Bled the brakes with a fresh jug of ATE Super Blue (man I NEED a power bleeder!), rotated the tires, fixed up the rubbing/clanking exhaust, and played around with the boost!
Exhaust was rubbing on the rear diff, clanking away here and there, glad this simple fix straightened things out, it was seriously melting the rear bumper and getting BAD.
Weight reduction bro!
Notice the melty plastic on the muffler. Oops
While down at Shawn Carroll's, picked up some pussy:
So, fun fact....I was talking with spazzy about his STS experience last year and he said he was trapping 117mph. I consistently trapped ~113mph at PG2014.1 and was pretty happy with the car, so i wondered what else I could do. Looking at the boost gauge again, I realized the last time I had turned it up I had left it at 'only' 29psi peak. So, decided to fix that. Keep in mind this is the stock turbo so it tapers off pretty quick, but still. Weeeeee!
We'll see if it actually makes any difference. 114mph or bust?
Car feels awesome. Tires feel great, brakes are rock solid again, and the boost hits HARD. Loving STS. Still gotta finish up my little stock wing aero project but otherwise I'm all set for next weekend.
I wanna go fast!
