well as some of you know this xt has been passed around and I am not the third board member to own this car. Each member has put a little something of their own into it.
so here is how I bought the car from rick
fpgreen, ewg, sti take off suspension
I drove it for a while and loved it even with the ewg which is ridiculously loud. it was fast as hell and quite a bit different as you can imagine from my stage 2 silver fxt. The first mod I made to it was to swap all my suspension bit over from my silver xt to my new one
well now that the car handled like I was used to an xt handling i was as happy as a pig in mud until the day when my waste blew a a gasket and the car became REALLY loud. I had it towed to IAG and figured to myself while they are up fixing that area why not swap to a bigger turbo. so on went the blouch dominator 4.0 along with some tgv deletes, aps 3 in hard inlet, and some kstech 8mm phenolic spacers.
.
now once the turbo was installed I got a nice protune from the master himself jorge carillo(riftswrx on nabisco) and the car is ridiculously fast now.
here was my dyno chart
So after cruising around with that set up for a while with a mixed bag of emotions. the IWG was nice as it wasn't as loud for daily driving but the dom4 wasn't the best turbo in terms of usable power. So after I had a slight mishap and lost a piston we decided to build the block. so of to IAG it went to undergo quite the transformation(pics in next post). while the engine was out I decided to trade the ppg 5 speed for a 6 speed
