Gotcha. Figured it had to be for something else, because it's useless for Time Attack lol.

LOL....word, need to see that look on someones face. We had an AutoX this past Sunday. And I'm always getting people telling me that my car sounds like an STI/WRX. I just shrugged it off mostly until this weekend. There were 3 Subies at the AutoX and one started up, and then I started my tC, and sure enough, same pitch/tone/gurggle. Very interesting....

The PTuning exhaust has the same low gurgle sound that Subi's have too.

I'm going to get the PTuning exhaust, but it's not going to be the same as the rest, cause I'm going to have them run a different muffler on the end, and take out the one in the center.

I tweaked it just a little bit. Now the wideband reads around 16 A/F. Goes from rich when it starts to hit, and then leans out and bogs. I couldn't tweak it further, cause the damn laptop battery was dead. I'll give it another few tweaks to richen it up some more. At least it's no more off the chart "------". Still not good enough to take off though....lol. Bop Bop Bop....bbummmdahh...lol

Ok, just tweaked it some more, and realized that when I hit the 2step and I don't launch the car, the 2step will go to "----" on the wideband. If I launch it as soon as I hear the 2step engage, then my A/F is around high 13's. LOL....factory scion tires don't go anywhere though even with an LSD. Sat there spinning for sure. Man I can't wait to get new tires. I will try and feather the clutch at the drag strip and see what I can click off with the 2step and my 3 year old worn out drag radials. I still haven't replaced those yet...lol. One tire looks like a slick and one looks new from my non-LSD days.

It's suppose to rain all week though...just my luck.

Im sure its just one of those.. if i have it let me use it!


Time Attack is priority #1. BUT.....I drag and AutoX while waiting for the Time Attack events to get here. I have to fill that itch to race something. So, the 1/8th mile track is closest thing, and its opened every weekend. Auto X is every other weekend, and Time Attack days are about a month apart. I can't wait that damn long to smash the gas. So, got to do something....

And yeah, if you got it, and your a racer....who the hell wouldn't set it up, even if it was just for the cool factor.....lol.
crap trav you got another engine waiting in the wings...as much racing as your doing im supprised your running at all...

i feel ya on the n/a thing I mis the track

I AM on the other engine....lol. This one was dropped in probably about a month an a half ago, and I've been running on it. It had 22k miles on it when I dropped it in. Other motor will be parted out and sold to add money into the turbo fund, that I have yet to officially start still.....LOL.

But yeah, the car see's that much action, and doubles as a daily driver with a child's Recaro seat in the back.


I miss my boost.... Went to the local spot this weekend just to see who was out, and a guy came up to me and my brother-in-law to chat. And then he ask me if it was true that I had the fastest tC in Middle TN. I have to keep up with my rep....

^^Depends on what you want I reckon. Going to cost a lot more to have a Standalone tuned as well, so keep that in mind. Also keep in mind that if you live where emissions are prevalent, then a Standalone will not be an option for you, as they do not past emissions test.
