Hey guys,
How did the show go? Did y'all meet up? I'm still waiting for my engine but my 3 cylinder STi is still running strong. Just doing a little James Bond action with an occasional smoke screen, so if we do have a gathering I can still make it. When is the NEXT one!?!?!?
I have not seen Steve in his STi cruising yet except for the time he just bought it and came by and let me try it out. Oh how I miss the stock ride, fast yet comfertable. Although I had to keep it under 4K since it was still in the break in period, very jerky ride. The turbo just kicks in and shift...... Steve should be driving it all over to get past the break in point. I understand he has been sick though (flu).
We don't have to have a large gathering to hang or cruise. And my offer still stands if anyone needs some help installing parts or needs info on parts. Anyone need a good deal on new used Tein springs and gauges w/pillar pod
See ya on the fly..........

I spoke w/Peter today and I saw Jerry at the car show and both indicated they wanted to do a GTG. Let's plan on something.

 

Ed got your message this evening , I'll give you a call during my lunchbreak tomorrow . I'm not driving the sti much nowdays , so a gtg sounds like a great idea . Laters ...............

 

Is a gtg on the 13th a possiblity ? In the morning ? feedback ............

 

Ed I got your message today . the hyper-ground system on my car works great , I noticed the car gained a little more torque . No problems so far !

 

Peter , I lost your number agian . Since your days off are on weds and thurs , maybe we can meet-up on one of those days . I need to get the sti out , it's been sitting at home for quite a while ..................

 

is a bov a bad thing to put as a first mod

 

IMO yes it is. It makes your car sound cool but if you have a bov that vents 100% into the air, it makes your car backfire alot. But if you decide to get one, get a 50/50 recirc bov so it can still vent into the intake and still make noise.

 

Donald's right , I took of my blitz put back in the stock . The car takes of now ! I'd like to see what it'll run with granny-shifting . It ran a 13.6 with a .882 reaction time last time granny-shifting .

 

Yay!! The engine finally came in and it is in the shop. Thanks goes out to Don at Harley for putting in my gauges, awsome work.
Is the next GTG set up yet? As for the BOV mentioned above. I have tried two besides my stock. You have to reset the stock computer, unhook battery, press brakes then hook battery back up. It may take a little time for the stock computer to learn the new BOV but you will still get a little stumble since the air fuel mix will be thrown off if the blow off is not vented back into the system. I have not tried the 50/50 BOV but I hear that it is the best way to go. Good luck on your choice.

Right on Keoni , I haven't seen your sti out for quite awhile . Good luck on the installation of the block !

 

Have we settled on a time???

BTW I'll be driving at the BMW Car Club driver's clinic on the 20th.

I need to get my track wheels on and get the car ready for the driving school.

I need to work on my driving. You can always be a better driver.

 

What's the agenda ? I'm not sure if the raceway park will be open that early . What cruise route are we planning to use ? meet-up in town then cruise straight to kihei , wailea , or just to the track ? 10:30 am to 11:30 am would be reasonable time frame . Just my thoughts .

 

Hey , guys don't forget about the may 27th gtg at maui mall . There's another post for signing up .

 

Shoot , looks like the thurs test and tune will be a very busy night . Seems like alot of cars will be running that night . Oh well , just gotta go with the flow .........
