New Addition to the Family
**Been a while since i've posted....(wicked busy), apologize for not being especially active of late....**
Addition to the automotive family line-up anyhow.....Wife won't let her be in the christmas cards yet....
I had no idea driving could be this much fun (i should say, more fun). It is a night and day difference from the wagon, most notable being the helical front diff. However, I really haven't had the chance to play with it much....(the car anyhow)
2005 Subaru WRX STI 35k miles
Mods (most wagon parts traded over): TBE, Soon to be Enginuity tuned, Koyo Radiator, Innovate LC-1
Just bought 4 245/40 R17 Kumho MXs
The pictures aren't the best, i'm not a photographer and you've all seen a STI before. Here's the general idea(nice and clean):
And here's how Subies are supposed to look(not so clean anymore):
Looking forward to some seat time....

Congrats Brandon! Very nice wip you have there! Come out to a HT's meet and I can show you a road that will really show you the differences with the helical front diff
I presume you are going to use something along these lines for the tune? If so, mind if I tag along? I really want to see this stuff in action!
Take care and congrats!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I'm always up for spirited drives/tuning runs....
The wagon was tuned with the combination of EcuExplorer/Enginuity/ECUFlash...
Enginuity has a datalogger now. I haven't used it yet... They are also working with Innovate to integrate with their wideband technology and the logworks datalogger.
I still have a lot to experience to gain in tuning. I have a friend in PA that I pass datalogs too and we discuss and make modifications based on the findings...
I'm actually going up to Pitt the last weekend in march to do some tuning. Anyone who wants to join is welcome...

Re: New Addition to the Family
Thank you for the compliments
I must be missing something though....Did i say something circa de New England? have to admit i've only been north of here once or twice.... Driving in the snow was a new one for me too....
parking lots -> fun
down hill skiing (in the car) -> not so fun
