prienzo's Awesome R thread

Thread back in action for another summer of dicking around/breaking my car. 

Installed a new fuel pressure sensor and forge CBV today. It fixed a weird flutter I was having, brought me back to full boost, and my car no longer stumbles when idling. 'Twas a good day. Here's what is planned for the rest of the season...

-Control Arms

-Tie Rods

-Dye extra interior

-AFR gauge/door pod

-Toe bars

-Paint calipers red

It's been a while since I updated this thread, but I'm getting back into working on the car again after being lazy for way too long...

The calipers are finally red:

A few days ago, I put on the rear toe bars from CJ and had an alignment done. The car is way more stable in the rear, but this could just be due to the alignment and toe being set to 0. Still, the bars are great and should keep the toe from going out of spec so damn easily. 

Today, I put in shortened ride height links in the rear (Linky: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...for-Lowered-Rs) and did a SUM Calibration. The ride is way smoother now.

Waiting on some parts to come in, including porterfield pads, rear poly bushings, forge wastegate, and a relief valve. Also need to finish pressing in the poly bushings for the front control arms.

Big news, getting the big crease in my right rear door and quarter panel fixed next week
