[IMG]https://i.ibb.co/WF7pvDv/YnGSWdK.jpg[/IMG] I'm the second owner. I bought it with ~75k miles, bone stock, for $21.5k. It's a base model with some options. Options: Premium Sound (tweeters) Aux and USB inputs Bluetooth Homelink Mirror SPT catback Fog Lights Tinted windows Rubber Cargo Tray Issues: It seems obvious that a battery exploded in it. There's acid and corrosion all over the driver's side of the engine bay. This became an issue as the #2 coil harness seemed to corrode and short and kill the #2 coil pack. Harness and pack have been replaced. Apparently '11+ packs are different and difficult to get. That was annoying. Outside of that the car is mint. I almost feel bad about the **** I plan to do to it. Almost. 2 days after purchase... [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/4RdtgmF/FHw1qWjl.jpg[/IMG] I also had a theme song for the old car. I think I've figured out a proper theme song for this one.

[Beginning]
9/8/2016 [B]THURSDAY[/B] Bought the car! They gave it to me without any gas! First picture I took of it. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/SrNpFP4/uhp4aZw.jpg[/IMG] 9/9/2016 [B]FRIDAY[/B] Already taking the car apart. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/bzXV5HM/vrhDWIa.jpg[/IMG] Changed the seat, brake pads, wheels/tires and put some decals on it. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/pPwtrth/IH5nfTU.jpg[/IMG] Why? 9/10/2016 [B]SATURDAY[/B] I was going to take it to the racetrack of course. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/92Nx61D/ytWLlap.jpg[/IMG] My car now matches my roommate's car. Among other things... [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/0fG98QT/uTafcs3.jpg[/IMG] I didn't have time/notice to take the car to a mechanic for an inspection. I considered the weekend at the track doing an Italian tune up to be acceptable. I'd say the Italian tune up was successful. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/PWzrD3Z/NrPf7K9.jpg[/IMG] On my way home I picked up an AccessPort and 24mm front sway bar. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/mhvk9X1/ZNTaifi.jpg[/IMG] This is going to be a hell of a ride... |

Ok... How do I do this?
FIRST WEEKEND WITH THE CAR!

But I guess I haven't done Sunday yet... |
At the end of the weekend the new car started doing things that the old car was quite proficient at...
[IMG]https://i.ibb.co/WgzBBYd/x7GvMLr.jpg[/IMG] after putting it back together, I found that I have wore a bit of a hole into the fender liner. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/VCrF14X/bAHEQWC.jpg[/IMG] With that put back together I got to installing more things from the old car. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/kxS7z3g/g4gCW3q.jpg[/IMG] GT Spec wheel, Cobb short shifter, STi leather knob, and I mounted up the access port. I had also gotten my hands on a Cobb SF Intake. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/xGL58HL/TdnoQrc.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/qxTfx34/A6kqvxz.jpg[/IMG] Installing that stupid thing was more work than I thought it would be. But the sounds it makes are amazing. The car was getting real hot at the track. Decided that Mi****imoto would be the answer. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/jWQ0VsS/ltGMg2l.jpg[/IMG] Install was pretty easy and straight forward. Easier than taking a decent picture even. :unamused: [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/jkTgbFY/Pda07Nj.jpg[/IMG] Now it's ready to go back to the track! |

Second weekend was a good time.
[IMG]https://i.ibb.co/h9mtRV3/oFQduK1.jpg[/IMG] Oil cooler didn't seem to make a difference. :mad: And I ran out of brakes again. :mad: [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/JtGsh1j/L6ob1Mp.jpg[/IMG] Did a brake change between sessions. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/YDQXN6V/7foo71Z.jpg[/IMG] But at least I wasn't have as bad a day as some other people. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/1znwWtj/QKpoZHy.jpg[/IMG] On the second day, I found that one of my friends had a really great wheel chock. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/8btY7mL/0Fy7VPN.jpg[/IMG] At the end of it all I noticed some wear on my gloves. :( [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/ypLThmq/tYq978B.jpg[/IMG] |
So far, I've gotten some really great pictures.
[IMG]https://i.ibb.co/ZBw512Z/YiYfQC3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/8XvbS25/09XSPqJ.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/YDNtR0N/wEs1b3h.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/JyxKyGC/9bR8Z3x.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/HF05gtD/busu8xf.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/882vN8D/4dZeDBB.jpg[/IMG] |
At the track I swapped in a set of Project Mu brake pads that my roommate had. The Carbotechs I had ordered hadn't been delivered at that time.
Of course, they showed up the following Monday. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/PMqL363/Q14v8rG.jpg[/IMG] Tried the XP20 this time out. I also got a set of brake lines. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/vmC3yZ6/qhw9gIQ.jpg[/IMG] But the hardline nuts didn't want to budge so I couldn't get the lines installed. :mad: A few days later while driving down the freeway, the fender liner decided that it didn't want to be in the fender anymore. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/jyfqSrg/Fbglhrd.jpg[/IMG] I feel that Indira Varma captured my reaction quite well... [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/Dzxn6YH/oFbQirQ.jpg[/IMG] Went back out and retrieved the pieces. (Don't do this. This was stupid.) [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/ZfMMMCt/uLGXUEb.jpg[/IMG] The fender vent had some scratches but I was able to pop it back on. [IMG]https://i.ibb.co/bWTQ8hc/OoEVUgu.jpg[/IMG] The liner itself was a total loss. |
And then it happened...
[IMG]https://i.ibb.co/8KyFBW0/dInnrst.jpg[/IMG] The Symptom: Cylinder #2 wasn't firing at all. The Cause: Well... When I got the car I found a receipt for a new battery from January 2016. I noticed some corrosion in the battery area. It seems that a battery prior to the current one had exploded. There's acid corrosion all over the driver's side of the engine bay. It seems some acid got on to the connector for the coil on cylinder #2. This caused a short which killed the coil and melted the connector. It took 2 weeks just to get a new coil and connector. But while my mechanic was in there, he did a compression and leakdown test on #2 and #4 which came back great. So at least I learned that that half of the engine is healthy. |
