Well a bit of an update......


Not much to report lol. The car has been giving some issues regarding the front o2 sensor not switching between open and closed loop so the car is being troubleshot next week. Still hoping to have the car back within the next couple of weeks.


Fingers crossed!

Like I mentioned before I am a pretty casual driver, I don't slam into gear and I won't be launching the car at all. I think with smooth application the trans / drivetrain should hold up till at least winter. Then I can start beefing things up a bit and think about 1/4 mile times.


I'm super anxious to get her back but I know there are a couple of issues. Silly things like my battery not holding charge and an 02 sensor problem. Just got to be patient.....

Well a quick update....


The car hit the dyno today for the break in map. 


She made 375whp break in tune at only 14psi!




Dave will be taking the car to NW BIG SUBARU MEET too, it will help put some miles on her and give her a little limelight.
