Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
Looks Good how much boost does that thing make stock? and those things sound nasty with launch control... you should get it and launch it under full boost.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
Got my road tune today, this is what it put down on the road dyno program that the tuner had on his laptop, he said the torque is probably quite a bit off, I don't remember why though.
Here it is:
I'll post up comparisons of my DB Dyno sheet tomorow after the Dyno Day.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
well, I have looked absolutely everywhere and connot find a green wideband gauge to match my stock gauges. Stupid prosport doesn't make one that is green/white, only the premium and ugly LCD ones. So, does anybody know of a analog wideband that is white, then changes to green while the lights are on? I really like the way the G3/LC-1 looks, but it doesn't change colors. If I could get one like that it would be sweet.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
The auto in your WRX is sucking up a lot of power.

I believe they are Tien. Something like a 2" drop in front a 1" in back.

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
H-Techs typically drop it only 1 inch and are quite stocklike in ride. I had them on the M3, not bad. S-Techs are usually red..

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
S.Techs are green and I think the H.Techs are yellowish right? I miss my green springs

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
They are the H series. I'm not too sure on the drop but it looks pretty nice how it sits now. Got it all wrapped up a little while ago. Hopefully, Mike can get it in for an alignment and then he should be ready to put some miles on it!

Re: New daily driver: 2004 WRX
Yup, they are Tein H-Techs, they drop it 1.8 front and .8 rear, I love the way the car sits now!! I'll be going to Tires Plus in the morning for an alignment, then I will post pics after that.

PLX is all digital, I am really looking for an analog, needle style gauge.
