Back for another big update after not posting much of anything last season. The car is reliably street tuned and waiting for some time on the dyno to dial in the last bit, but honestly it feels great to have something properly quick to hoon around in. Last year I changed out the garbage Megan coilovers for a set of ultra legit KW Variant 3's with Clubsport tophats to allow for front camber adjustment. These are night and day better for improving the ride and handling. I have also moved up in the world and acquired an 07 Legacy Spec.b as my daily driver.
In the last few weeks we tackled gasket leak issues on the intake side, redoing the complete cooling system, complete overhaul of the fuel system, promoting longer life on the chinese suspension arms until I can replace, proper alignment on the car and removing all of the Greddy devices to run everything via the Haltech. After a bit of street tuning we realized the traction on the Falken tires is terrible and dangerous, so I'm using a buddies Mickey Thompson Street Radials 275/40/R17 on Imuls R5 17x9.5 wheels.
Every thread anti-seized and all joints have been siliconed
Ugh..terrible idea not to use heat resistant tape

All for now, will update again soon with some better video and pics. Hopefully there are some guys still around from the beginning to see where the progression has taken this car.
