RICKY!

so i havent been on I-Club in forever.

and actually came to ask a question.
but was surprised to see your car here like, near the top? haha

so i thought id take a peek and WOW. the car looks good. id like to see it in person. im coming back to the bay area first ten days of february. so pm me your number!

 

haha thanks. I'm waiting on my turbo and injectors for now..not really doing anything else to the at the moment until then. The car used to be a bit nicer but I got rid of alot of the exterior stuff and interior stuff too and decided to focus directly on performance parts only.

 

Updated my plans...

Future plans:

ENGINE
- JDM STi Pink Injectors
- 255lph Walbro Fuel Pump
- VF39 turbo
- 3port Boost Solenoid
- STi TMIC shroud


I'm getting new DP/UP gaskets, NGK Iridium 1 step colder plugs, VF39 turbo under 20k with no crack amazingly enough at the end of January, then following month pink injectors and throw on the cobb ots vf39 map until I finally get protuned!

 

Looking swell. We have similar plans for our engines.

 

How soon until you upgrade turbos? I know Eric is replacing his VF22...

 

your car is going to be sweet, those mods are going to make it fly!

 

I doing about the same to my RS. I am however still researching engine management. You need a Utec or something like it for the pro tune right? The cobb ap with the ots map is just to temporarily make all upgrades work right?

 

Protunes are for Access Ports. You can use the OTS maps Cobb has to offer on their site, but it's best to get it tuned by a private tuner to fully take advantage of your car's potential. What have you done for your RS? Swap or just a turbo kit?

Thanks man! How long until you think your project may be done? Looks like just a few more things and you should be good to go!


I really can't wait to get my damn turbo and install it! It will completely change the feel of my car and obviously I can't wait for the powaaaah

 

ok plans change yet again...back to getting the JDM tyte VF35 and a set of pinks yo! lol
Whichever VF turbo I get...I know it will be a huge improvement over the dinky td04 and alot more fun too!

 

ok screw the VF35...I'm getting a package deal on a pretty much brand new VF34, 565cc Injectors, Prodrive 3-port boost solenoid. It has about 7k on it and I'm makin out like a bandit
I'll finally get it at the end of the month as planned and then sometime install it! Man I can't wait hehe

 

lmao youre like ray trying to pick a new car... only with turbos!!!

 

haha it wasn't my fault!

1st situation - was going to buy a VF35 off a friend and he was going to take it off his car. He decided not to since all was well with his car.

2nd situation - he was going to pull a vf39 off a car he was going to sell, but then sold the car with all the parts on it.

3rd situation - he was going to then take off his vf35 for me since he said he "owed" me a turbo lol, but then he had a customer turning his car back to stock and had a VF34 setup with not even 7k on it for a good price...soooo I'm buying the VF34 setup. I had to buy his entire setup (including an AP, which is why I had made a post to sell it since I didn't need it & had my own.)


Hatteroooooooo strikes again with teh parts whorin!

 

Dang Rickstar,

Your ride is gonna be pretty dang fast with your new mods, now you can smoke Adam's RS at the track . . . ok maybe not, but your ride will def. give you a bigger one of these !

congrats bro!

 

haha thanks Gus, but I have litterally no experience on the track at all plus Adam's RS would completely destroy me since he has a Version 7 STi motor, bigger turbo, and 100% better driving skills lol.

What have ya been up to? I'll be at LIC this sat

 

Once you get your motor stuff done you should test it out at the track! Have David instruct you. Your car is a wild animal in a cage that wants you to free him!

I'll be at LIC gettin some suspensionn stuff done next Sat. (26th I think).
