where do you plan on fueling up?

I was thinking about doing this with my swap but there just aren't any friggin stations out here. I was talking to my dad about it yesterday because he's got flex fuel. I told him when he plans on towing the boat he should do a half tank of e85.

I wish I could do it. You'd think of all places santa cruz to salinas would have mad stations. All the ag people and the hippies.

 

Intercooler? Not sure. He's got big plans though, definitely jealous.

 

No such thing.... but there is a such thing as too much for your abilities.

And yes... suspension. I just don't understand when people do all this motor work and have stock brakes and stock or nearly stock suspension. Silly. My car with 100 less hp will probably smash a lot of these people in the twists and on the track. Just not in the quarter.

Having mad power and now way to stop it is bad.

 

Intercooler, fuel pump, and spark plugs. That's for off the shelf stage 3. With injectors for e85, ewg, and headers you are state 3+ aka FBO (full bolt on) lol but it's just words. Personally I'll just say the car is on e85 and not "stage wtfbbq" haha.

Dude ur car is sick! I wish I had those rims and ur ride is fast too. I just got lucky with e85 being close to my house, otherwise I'd be staying stage 2. Just cross fingers for me I don't blow lol.

Thats exactly what I ment. I won't feel comfortable pushing my car through twisties with that much more tq and hp on stock suspension and brakes that I'll pick up with e85. I have brembos sitting in my room waiting to get engine dialed in first because I'm not sure if you are aware but the new Wrx/STi engines tend to blow very easy. My goal was to dial in the engine and have a safe power level then work on suspension and replace all bushings. I don't race or speed much so my stock brakes have been working out.

 

Brembos.... lucky.

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with my rear brakes. I'm going to run LGT fronts so I'm trying to run LGT rears with an STI master cylinder.

Right now I have DBA slotted rotors. Hawk pads. Stoptech lines. It helps a ton but I really want something larger so I don't run in to heating issues when I'm really on it. So far the DBA's have done well. I DESTROYED my centric set up.

 

got the cobb its a beauty.

 

Cobb makes nice stuff.




I might be picking up a Helix catted dp but I think I might hold out and get a mad dad when I do my swap. Do it right the first time.

 

the guy I bought the catback from has the cobb dp he'd prob sell it for 150

 

Catted? If so I'll probably buy it. I need a cat. Have to smog in August.

 

ya I dont think cobb makes a catless dp? heres the guys email wrxzone@yahoo.com

ya i looked its a high flow cat

 

Sent him an email. Gonna have to try and find an access port too.

I'm gonna end up having to pay someone to do my turbo install because of the whole no tools, to jack thing. Just glad they didn't jack my jack stands. I've got a couple bad *** jack stands that don't belong to me in the garage. LOL.

Wish they would have stole my bike... woulda bumped my claim up $3000. LOL! Don't ride it anymore anyways. They got one of them. But there are 3 others in there. Probably $4000 in bikes they didn't get. They got my old school super o.g. Cannondale SR500. Thing was PIMP. I went through it all. Everything on the whole bike was white and red. Looked sick as hell. Super nice o.g. road bike. Was my trainer when I used to race. Had a HUGE cog on it. I could hit 50mph on flat ground... no joke. LOL> Got pulled over doing 53mph in a 35. LOL!

Actually been pulled over at exactly 53 twice and once they guy wouldn't tell me... he just said said... WTF are you doing going that fast here... and how. Does that bike have brakes. I said.... no sir. He shook his head and got back in his car. Best guess is over 70mph.

 

I'm scared that my bike might get stolen, even though it's still all stock lol.

 

Yeah... it happens.

I had my race BMX bike stolen. I love that bike. If I had put in more events I would have been nationally ranked. I beat every rider in the top 5 on more than one occasion. Bike was sick. My dumb *** road it to the bar one night... everyone knew me so I figured it was safe. Nope.

Got my specialized jacked outside a baseball card shop when I was 16. My own damn fault.

Got my Cannondale MTB jacked out of my house. I had been hit by a car and was just recovering from the injuries and someone cut a pipe out of the house and stole all 3 bike locked on it. That bike was SICK. Purple. Custom everything. Purple anodized everything. Light as hell. Was my dual slalom ride.

All of those bummed me out. This one wouldn't have bummed me out.. insurance.... wut wut! I want to build a new one anyways.

This bike is an old build but it's sick. Azonic DS-1. Jr. T. All XT with disc. Nice bike. Just a little tall for my stubby legs.

Haaaaa.

 

I have stubby legs to! 6' tall and my pant length is a 30 LOL

Once I get settled into the new place I'm going to buy a bike to ride to work. That way I can save the scoob for the weekends

I had my GT Mach one stollen years ago. Left it on the yard a little to close to the street and it got yanked.. It had 3 peice cranks and pitbul brakes(old school) and I put dyno mags on it. I also had a diamond back bike stolen from in front of a quick mart, good old' ghetto salinas haha

I think Im going to go invidia turbo back next car

 

Heh add me to the stubby leg club. I'm 5'10 and I have a 29" pant length. I wear 32 even though it folds over like crazy.
