Going to take another 'executive lunch' today. It has the stock turbo tune on it with updated fuel trims to fix the AFR. I'm not sure what that's going to equate to, I assume a little more power than stock turbo since it has more fuel. |

Re: Evo X upgrades
Nice, well good luck, let us know initial impressions. You need to get tuned soon, if you make enough power maybe it will convince me to keep the X.

Re: Evo X upgrades
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...

Re: Evo X upgrades
Congrats on getting it back, I'm sure it feels good.
Shane is always willing to go that extra mile, there have been nights I've been up there and he's still been around after 10/11 trying to get a tune worked out. You're car was in great hands!

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. |

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. |

Re: Evo X upgrades
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?

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. |

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

Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

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.

Re: Evo X upgrades
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.

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.
