do any track days? ive already taken my bike to one and im wanting to take my wrx as well...of course that would be after front and rear strut tower braces and a ladder brace underneath, quite a bit of body roll.

 

The place I did the autocross at does have track days. Though my car is getting up there in miles, really don't want to risk destroying my daily driver at the track. I do plan of buying a more proper sports car next year though and will be taking it to the track.

 

If you are looking to get rid of body roll, stiffen your suspension and get some anti-roll bars. Also have to remember the WRX was built more for rally racing than track racing.

 

EDIT: Also, if you do decide to do a track day, make sure you have some good tires, like Dunlop ZII or the BF Rivals else you are just making it harder for yourself.

It's Line-X or Rhinoliner, I don't remember which. It's rough though. Serves well.

Hmm well a pretty cheap alternative i found is Plasti Dip i experimented today and it came out well. Obviously not better than Rhino/Line-X

 

 

Sadly i don't have a before picture. Just imagine an ugly steel bumper. $6 for this.

how much did you gain from just the tuner?

 

You gain around 40-55hp to the crank from the tune. I push 18.5psi now.

 

Planning on going with Stage II either summer of '14 or '15. Really want to push 20psi maybe 21.

 

I completely debadged her.

 

BTW I noticed you got a WRX, how are you loving it so far?

loving the wrx, Got a cobb AP. Need to get a wideband though, DL'd accesstune race but with the oem 02 sensor pre-turbo and on the headers i cant get accurate readings to tune with.

But sometime next year ill be stage 2, CB or TBE, not sure yet, and probably a short ram intake.

probably take boost up to ~18-19, dont want to lose my reliability.

wouldnt mind slapping in a 6 speed either...

Yeah, I figured I would buy a catback, then just put my own downpipe in, or go TBE all together. I hear the AEM is a great intake. Short Ram intakes and the CObb intake tend to heatsoak, and cause the tune to run RICH

 

As for the O2 sensors and wideband, I think you should be fine.

 

Why don't you just go with the OTS map instead othe Accesstune. Don't you have to pay for those tunes anyways?

There's a video I made a while back to show some out of town friends. Excuse the terrible way of doing it, that appears to be the norm of making exhaust videos. Has a cherry bomb muffler and the cat was removed.
