Does anyone know about the track day on the 22nd at laguna seca? I wanna go there for my bday but couldn't remember who was telling me about it !!!

Anyone going to the meet tonight ?

 

I might be making some changes to my system pretty soon here. Possibly going to different front speakers. I'd sell mine fairly cheap. They are CDT's. 6.5 inch. The euro model. shallow debth. Good speakers. They sound pretty good. I was gonna put them in my girls car but selling them would help me buy some new isht. Think they were $450. I'd sell em for like $200 or so.

I might be going to a completely different set up so I want to match from the start. I might be selling my sub set up as well and building something lower profile and rebuilding the back of my car.

 

base power for a stock wrx is around 165-170 whp. similar torque.

You have some decent gains there. Just goes to show what a proper tune can do. Must feel really nice.

 

Yeah sometimes it boosts really hard. But generally very smooth. Definatly worth it in the end.

 

it'll boost hard when the air is cool, and it'll boost lower when it's humid outside

 

Thats a good point my car stays hot for a long time! And it doesn't take long for it to reach about half way up the engine temp gauge!!!! Time for bigger intercooler ?

 

Ray? You a graphic artist in the Soquel area?

If so, I think we worked together for a short while there...I drive an M3. I remember you being in one room on your Subi forums while I was in the other on my Bimmer forums...LOL

Just joined here looking for some karting action...the BMW forums are getting a little slow on that.

 

Hey guys, how much is reasonable for new brake pads with installation ? I spoke to subaru and they quoted me like $540 for front and rear (thats with the rotors machined or summat!) Seems really expensive for what it is!!! ANyone suggest anything ?

 

call speed element 1 510 226 8822

 

just do the install yourself dood, you don't need that many tools.

This is the how-to I used:

Then just bleed your brakes with new fluid and you're done!

 

buy yourself some decent pads and fluid and do it yourself. Be around $200. If you want rotors it depends on what rotors you get.

 

Anyone heading out there tonight? ?

 

I dunno about tonight, but there's always the Monterey meet on Saturday nights in Seaside, check out www.spoolinmontereybay.com for more info!
