it is so tempting to do this to my wagon. The hard part is the tranny/motor mating. I can do the rest.

 

wow that is scary...i'm afraid because he's so crazy he might actually be serious

 

Well if you look at the engine mount location on a subaru, they the same lay out as the FD. And the FD motor has the best motor mount for motor swap because they are on the bottom not the side like every other 13B or in the front. The other thing I have to do reaserch is, being AWD and lack of torque will be a problem to get the car off the line.

 

Hey Honda did you ever call James to get you kit painted?

 

My nephew will do it for $300. PM me when you want it done.

He paints alot of show cars.

 

I think you got me confused with some one else. I don't have a kit. I do want to get my side skirt painted on the WRX though.

 

I though I would share some pics of the Wagon since I haven't posted them for you guys

 

hey jedi i tried the break tapping thing. not sure if i did it right cause nothing happened . how was it suppose to go?? ignition on tap breaks 20 times?? is suppose to be fast or does it matter???

 

yup, turn the key to the "on" position and QUICKLY tap the break pedal 20 times. You'll know it worked when you see the oil pressure guage sweep all the way from one direction to the other

 

mines did not do it??

 

maybe i should go faster

 

yeah, gotta quickly stomp on it...

 

WOW whats going on? is this some super secret hack that mazda programmed into all of our cars that unleases an extra 100 hp??? sounds like instructions to a video game cheat code...

 

no way man, that's:

Up up, down, down, left, right, left, right, Start. Major bonus points to whoever remembers that one!

Michael: Just make sure you turn the key enough to get all the display lights to come on and then start tapping that brake pedal like crazy

 

c'mon everyone feels like they're being left out, whats this brake tapping for?

 

He can do that too.

Let me know.

 

Contra?

The break tapping thing resets the ECU...so you start all over with the air/fuel...over time, the computer adjusts this based on your driving habits. It is good to do when you do things to your car....I think these guys all got superchargers...or at least were looking at one this weekend....so how goes the Supercharger?

 

...oh...so no extra 100hp? damn...

 

DITO!

 

whens the next cruise?

 

i'll give it another try. if i can't get it. next time i see you i'll let you jump in the driver side and watch a pro go to work .. . ........ plus i'll let you know how things go this friday... if they work out good maybe you'll be next????

 

jorge & michael> what are u guys trying to do? haruken? lol...

rick> nice picts & nice subaru...

btw, got my nose mask this weekend... didn't realize this thing requires actual screws to install. lol.. (my lazy *** doesn't want to have to do that!) anyhow. i'll play with it after i wash my car next time. also, the langka stuff really doesn't work the way they say it does. it's basically just a solvent that safely removes the touch up paint that u smear without damaging the factory paint job. the entire "wipe on wipe off" claim is a crock. i'm still experimenting, but i think the only way it would really work is if u leave the touch up paint on for several days so it really hardens and bonds, and then gently swab the surface of the area with langka to smooth out the texture of the surface. we'll see...

 

This is how you get the actual 250hp that Mazda was claiming on the RX-8. Okay, maybe not... It's to reset the short term memory on your cpu. (like Keith said)

Had a real good talk with Richard Paul about it and got to see it first hand. I'll post some pics tonight if I get a chance. He's been running it for a few weeks but is having some problems working out the tuning. The Interceptor X is installed but as some of you may or may not know: It's a HUGE Pain in the *** to use!! Very different then E-manage and very tempermental. Does some amazing things but not very user friendly.
2nd fuel management system has now been installed (concurrent with Interceptor) and tuning is resuming very soon. From my experiences with FI, I am very impressed with this SC and am curious to see how it unfolds.

Late July? (to avoid all the 4th of July people hogging up the roads?)


You still need to come down to that shop near my house. If you want, I can take care of it then. Let me know how it goes on Friday, I'm VERY interested in seeing how it turns out. You never know....I definitely might be next.

What?? You actually have to put screws?? Hmm, I think Rotary Rasp has the front mask, maybe see if he found another way to install it?

 

what is it that you might be next on jedi?

 

Super Top Secret mod. I gotta see what Michael finds out for us and then we'll post some pics or something.
