Kevin, she drives like a dream. You can really feel the rear bias. Plus scuffing the tires in 1st and 2nd is also fun. But the changed bias does help with handling and braking. The Cam let the Pearl spool quick, but I need to put my stock FPR back in. I'm running cooler spark plugs causing me to be rich and throwing a CEL. So the Impreza FPR is out and an adjustable one is going in.

Ok everyone take notes....

1. Don't try to use standard issue GroupN motor mount brackets... they don't fit right

2. Don't cut hardlines out fo the master cylinder

3. Don't use eye protection at any cost

4. Don't put the brake booster vaccum line on backwards

5. Don't rush no matter what

Yeah, if we followed the rules, this would have gone a lot smoother. Glad we got it done and Kerry, I cannot thank you enough for having me. I had a blast and it was awsome of you to do this for me. It really was a great time for me and J and I are already contemplating driving out there. Anyway I will be in touch and thanks again for a great time

Tom

I've had that for awhile now. I got it back in March I think. It's a lot nicer than the stock on I think and now it flows better with the shift boot and "blackedout" Gage cluster.

Tom, you're more than welcome. You did a lot for me too. lol But I have to disagree that the eye protection and gloves when working with metal is always a good idea, lol

Yes! The Thread made 100 replies! Do you need my old X-member for the kit? If so I can ship it out with the rotors and pads.

Kerry/Tom,
Nice job! Definitely get a wide band on that thing so we can see what the 2v5/z32/intake cams set up is producing, AFR-wise.

Where did you end up getting your Stainless Steel brake lines?

The wideband is def. in the thinking right now. I think I'm either running rich or my O2 Sensor is on its way out. I got the brake lines from Dayle, good quality and decent price.
