Craigslist is still a thing?

Yea I just watched that video. Kinda annoyed me because they go baller on the trans yet they cheap out alot of places. I also feel like they gave out a ton of bad information in the episode but what do I know.

I really need to get you to work your magic on my new sport wagon. It desperately needs done!

So last weekend I finally replaced my shift boot and handbrake boot and while I was at it I decided to re lid the arm rest with a leather cover as well. And this last weekend I pulled the subframe out of the car to install the serial nine subframe bushings kit and the Odyssey Fab subframe brace kit. While the subframe was out I cleaned it up and re painted it and I painted the diff as well since it was looking nasty. I also found out that my front upper ball joints were trashed. Instead of just replacing the ball joints the Cusco front control arms were not that much more so I went that route. At this point the rear end is basically completed with exception of the rear upper control arm. I know FIGs is currently working on a replacement so I may just replace that so ive got all brand new arms and bushings. I was also able to add the Odyssey Fab catch can in the engine bay as well. Came out perfect, super hidden and you wont really notice it with gaudy lines and what not. Its in the upper right hand corner of the photo.

Congrats man! looks good!

When my wife and I got married we used perfect plate catering. http://perfectplatecatering.com/ Food was amazing and priced really well.

I have nothing much to say other than I have an OLD AT&T grandfathered unlimited data plan that I still haven't given up even though its gotten pricey for what it is ($105 a month IIRC). Sadly with my new house I dont really get any reception so I have considered switching to an unlimited plan with Verizon. Ive always heard sprint is trash for coverage and speed but I have no actual experience with them.

Damn that truly sounds like you're making out on the deal, yea you could have gotten more but since you dont have realtor fees thats going to help out quite a bit .

Correct, The difference is how much suspension travel im allowing the car to have.

LOL Actually 24k isnt much higher than what the stance comes with by default. I went with a stiffer spring to combat not having a thick front sway bar but I may eventually get a front sway bar and then drop the spring down in the front. The front of these cars are just heavy, my SC also had a 22k spring on the front so its pretty common.

Oh hi, its me. Got tired of the BC coils because they were way under dampened and bumpy even when adjusting them sooo I got a set of Stance Coilovers instead I ordered custom dampening with 24k front and 14k rear with helper springs. Ive got a set of helper springs also on the way for the front. I also needed to add my rotary switch which controls the boost so I ended up putting it on the shift bezel. Ignore how bad the shift boot is, It will be replaced. I also picked up a roof spoiler which will help tie into the look im going after. Just need to wait until the car gets painted to put it on. Also waiting on a few other things to show up like Odyssey fab catch can, Odyssey fab rear subframe brace and Odyssey fab seat brakets so I can finally install my bucket seat. Once the sub frame brace shows up ill drop the subframe weld on the braces and then install the Serial9 subframe bushings and I should be done for a while until the body kit shows up.

What monitor do you have? My old Dell S2716DG monitors did the same thing and it was a setting in the monitor itself that needed disabled.

ohh Menards... The walmart of the home improvement stores....

Yea but the problem with that is they are going after heavy trucks with that tax but people with a diesel car are going to get screwed over. Granted after the whole diesel gate there are alot less diesel cars on the road but still we are going to be getting screwed over by this.

and this is sold! New owner got a hell of a deal!

OK I need it gone, $850 and its yours. hell of a deal with the components in it.

there are alot of ways you can do it and most honestly record to MicroSD. I personally have a Blackvue DR-650s-2ch system with their power magic pro system. The dash cam just plugs into the power magic pro and then power magic pro is hardwired into the car or you can do add a fuses. The power magic pro monitors the battery in the car along with having a timer. It can be configured to turn off after a set time frame or when the battery gets to a certain voltage. The blackvue is on the high end of the price gamut but I went this route because I wanted something small and built in GPS. IIRC I have transferred this from 4 different cars now and really dont want to drive with out a dash cam. I think my dad has a Yi dash cam and seems to like it. I need to get my wife a dash cam soon because she is always saying how crazy people drive but I feel like its her not them.

This is the win right here. Lock the thread now.

My work will be providing it so I can have a "home lab" environment. Ill let you know though when the ERX is free.

a little late to the party but you should make sure it doesent have a low set pressure shut off valve. On my gas powered Honda pressure washer it had a hard time with the foam cannon as it would give to much static pressure and it would stop working. or it would work for a few seconds and then stop. I have an electric one now that works like a dream but I dont recall what model it is.

Still got this but the monitor is sold. Drop the price to 1k flat and thats a hell of a deal for all the components.

Fucking diesel tax...Diesel is already more expensive than gas. Might be time to RIP my TDi or delete emissions so I get more MPG. Also Im curious to see what the .20 increase does to every day item prices since that's going to hit businesses hard and cost more to deliver items.

Agreed. As soon as I saw it was Donut media I realized I wasn't going to watch it.

So Tuesday was Tune day, Had a few things getting finished up until the wire but it was complete and ready. Made the trek to Dynosty in Kentucky and got things sorted. One small issue cropped up that turned out to be rather common was the crank was one tooth off on timing. I still have no idea how that happened as I confirmed it three times after putting the timing belt on last time. There is no way it jumped timing so I must have missed it. Anyway its fixed and made some power. Final numbers ended up being 417/440 on 17psi which tapers off to 14. I expected a bit more but again its a small turbo with a 3 liter bottom end so its only going to do so much. This is on 93 octane only. We discussed E85 as the car is ready for it but short of the cooler charge and less detonation with the turbo maxed out I wont gain much. Only weird issue is the tuner said idle sounds weird and it almost seems like first cylinder is dropping out. It does go away as soon as throttle is given so it was not big concern. We discussed replacing the coil packs and checking the fuel injector and they do not seem to think this is the issue since it clears up. I think personally i'm just going to replace the coil pack anyway since they are pretty cheap. Dynosty seems to think its mechanical related and recommended a compression test and leak down just to be safe so Ill be doing that this weekend. Other issue is we couldnt get the ECU to read speed. After talking to Mark at Panic Wire the VSS feeds directly to the gauge cluster then to the ECU so in theory I should just need to bridge the two wires and feed the raw signal to the Haltech and we can filter it there.
