Not a whole lot on updates.
Parts have been ordered some have arrived some not. I still need to order some odds and ends.

Biggest update though. Spoke to someone at swain on Friday and was told i should be getting the header back this week. "Should", I Hate that, why cant people give a solid definite answer? Checked my bank account today and they billed me so that "should" is looking a lot more definite as they don't bill you until the product is done and being sent back. Will post pics when i get it back.

Did a little service on the car. Change the oil, Rotated the tires, cleaned the air filter and performed surgery on the left inner fender liner. Actually i had to pull what was left of the stock one out and put in one a friend gave me from an earlier model wrx. This will get me by till the new one arrives. It did come with some tears. I stitched them up good as new.

Had a bit of extra TI Heat wrap and thought I would put some of it to use. Wrapped the intake pipe that seemed to get the hottest and Wrapped 2 coolant lines that touched the intake tube.

Its been a while since i updated.
Installed KB Pickup tube, Sold the KB windage tray, SPT heat shield and Sold the TSX TMIC, tossed in a GR sti tmic, picked up a brand new GR tmic to replace the used one and did some thermal tape to the bottom & y pipes along with some light polishing to the top. Picked up some Innovate Motorsports gauges Oil Pressure/Temp and MTXL wideband, put those in a SMY Dual gauge pod setp.
Just dropped the car off todat at GST to have some parts installed (turbo,injectors, 3port, Tomei EL, wide-band sensor, motor and tranny mounts) and Mike work his magic on the tune.

I'm a sucker for any kind of handling mod I can fit in, so what do the Ikeya tie rods do for you? Any more NHV?

Hope the tune goes well!

I don't believe they will increase the noise much at all. They came with the car so i cant tell you a before and after. It doesnt seem any different than other friends Subarus with out them. Motor and tranny mounts will have a higher impact on NHV, You will gain better turn in and steering response/feel as compared to other wrx/sti i have driven.

Thanks, I hope the tune goes well too.
