When I lived in Coal Creek, I would see them and other brands testing pretty regularly.
As far as the power, it's nice to have it in an OEM package, but a lot of us have been making more power and more power per liter for quite some time. My 20+ year old S2000 makes ~10hp more per liter on a...
I did a Mountune intercooler about 2 years ago as I knew I would be towing in hot weather, since that's when racing season is. It helps in that the temps don't reach as high, however, the stock intercooler is pretty good. It's large and because it isn't an additional 20 lbs of metal, it will...
I had to connect the battery power to it. It stopped doing it after that.
Yeah, they can add up... But don't think the wife would let me go that far. She just told me when I decided to build this, that she didn't want to know how much it cost. This includes building a new computer.
It...
Finally took the truck on a somewhat of a road trip. About a 3 hour drive to go to our SCCA AutoX awards banquet. I haven't hand calculated the fuel yet, but it was right at 26mpg on a coldish, windy day.
Yep, I park away from everyone else...
At said event, I did receive my trophy for...
This is the right-angle adapter I used.

For the AA Wireless, it's a version 1 and now they're on version 2. However, I have a version 2 in another car and can probably test fitment.

I'll probably hit 8k miles in the next week on my 2022. Been pretty uneventful other than installing a transmission dipstick and finding that it was underfilled from the factory and topping it off improved the issues I was having. Seems Ford is regularly underfilling stuff as the Maverick guys...
My STi was more to insure than a Corvette. I tune a lot of Subaru's and they can be fun cars, as long as you can keep mods within reason. There is a cult following with them... Annoyingly to me. The new WRX's can be made to be pretty fast with a couple bolt-ons and a tune, and they are more...
Your 8th gear clunk a lot? I found my transmission was low from the factory. Topped it off and it's not been doing the 8th gear clunk. I do need to lube my slip joint as you can feel it. I've only got just under 8k miles on this truck...
I would put it in. It's a radiant barrier for heat coming from the cat. The aluminum pan may dissipate heat better, but it will also absorb it better as well.
Checked the fluid level and like many, it was low from the factory. I put about a half a quart in and got it just over the 5 mark (hard to see). I've done two drives since and it's seemed to improve the transmission. Over the two drives, I did not have an 8th gear clunk, which was somewhat...
