how stock is the car? the FD stock suspension is nothing to be worried about, in good form the car is a nice little tracker. Altho i have to say my greddy/trust springs make turning fun lol.

Went for a 70mile cruise today from wayne up to sussex, through warwick on rt 94, onto warwick turnpike, stopped at waywayanda park for pics then drove all they way back down to wayne. passed 3 cops without getting pulled over which amazed me, i am very grateful they were in good moods or whatever.

well suspension wise, its bone stock, but the engine has...well i guess medium amout of mods, aluminum ast, bigger rad, and intercooler, REA charge pipes, efini y pipes, m2 intake, hks dp back with a high flow cat, still has the stock twins running at 15lbs, but i have to get it looked at because i think theres a vaccum line restricting the twins from doing the transfer over, its got power all the way up but the boost guage goes funky when its supposed to transfer, at 10lbs, something i noticed today that it didnt do before, lol

if you want i can sell you a pettit upgraded ecu, it's a 94 unit (came out of my car when i bought it), sell it to ya for like $200 delivered, less work then having to post it online. Thatll give you a safety net fuel/timing wise till you go standalone (which you will eventually, imo it's the first mod to do ).

that is if youve got a stock ecu.

turbos should go 10-8-10 at transition, stock boost.

as for reliability mods, what else are you gonna do reliability wise? only other thing i would think of is vac. simplification. Whenever i get a 7 with a stock bay i normally rip it apart in a week or 2 and replace it so I'm not too clear on those kinda basics "***** to the walls or no ***** at all" is my motto lmao.

oh that was one thing i forgot to mention, which is kind of stupid and i felt like i was forgetting it but whatever, i do have the PFC with commander, which is why im running higher boost, but i seem to be having trouble making the transition, all i seem to get is 10 and then the gauge goes crazy bouncing between 8 and 12 until i let off,

idk what to think, i have to do more reading, maybe if your free one day we could hang out and i could get a lesson in operation of the vaccum system and maybe diag my issue, for all i know its something stupid

let me know

oh and i wanted to do a water injection kit

yea i was guessing youd have a PFC lol. if you want i can give you the email of a guy who sells a sick PFC documentation guide and gives you a membership to his PFC only newsgroup (yahoo) its like $20 or some ****, but everyone on the group knows there **** and if he cant help you with any PFC problem then no one can.

your transition problem is weird tho, dunno if that would be a ecu or vac issue. im not familiar with twins much

Okay so what's the consensus? Are we going to meet at Staten Island or try for Rt 17 again? I know I'll get there late either way, but I don't wanna drive out (and pay the tole) just to find out no one showed.

If its not raining then I will be out, but the question is where? I might just have to call somebody and see.

should all go to the sonic by me on 46 thats opening soon too, then i can attend more meets lol.

also don't worry about cops. I dont remember seeing any "no loitering" signs, and you can look up their city/town statute on loitering pretty easily. No loitering rule = no offense. Of course i wouldnt show cause id lose my car.... (poss. visual insp. and all)

hell why not a different starbucks or sonic every other week
keeps the cops guessing
