OK, update time. Going to take care of some outstanding issues (end links, red calipers!, CBV) and move onto the FMIC.


Going to grab a CX Racing kit, IPD throttle body pipe, and an adjustable relief valve (special thanks to George). Going to weld the relief valve into the throttle body pipe and set to open above 23 psi.


Also grabbing an innovate AFR gauge and door pod. The end is in sight!!

Installed the Powergrid Street Adjustable end links this this weekend. Thanks to Ride R who pretty much did all the work. 


The knocking of the old end links is gone. I also no longer have a vibration in the steering wheel (although this could have been from remounting the wheels correctly). 


The car feels a bit more responsive around turns as well so

Had the IPD camber bushings installed this weekend.

-Rear left camber went from -2.6 to -0.8

-Rear right camber went from -1.6 to -0.4


Works as advertised!

Installed FMIC. 


Thanks to Dave, Tommy, and Darek for helping out. Having that much expertise made the job go much smoother. Couldn't do it without you guys.

Installed the relief valve yesterday: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthr...alve-Installed


Also replaced fluids in the angle gear, AOC/Haldex, and rear diff.


Loaded tune today and did some data logging. Here is what I got... I forgot to do a 3rd gear pull pre tune (woops!) Also, I wasn't able to stretch out 3rd too much, I'll try to get some better data at a later point. This was also taken immediately after loading the tune and did not allow for any adjustment.
