Dyno run with my coupe
Eh maybe but I'm not too concered about it. I really drive it to and from work right now since it has a little oil leak coming from the pan and a slight coolant leak I have yet to track down. I just miss having my turbo:-p

Dyno run with my coupe

Dyno run with my coupe
So today there was a NASIOC get together down at Pacific Import Auto in Tacoma. I put my name into a drawing and was the 2nd person to get picked for 3 dyno runs. I wish my scanner was hooked up so I can put it up here but its nothing too impressive right now. Just gives me a good idea of what I'm going to be stepping up to when I go EJ here soon. Car has an all stock EA82 SPFI in it with an RX gearbox and LSD. Out of three runs, my best was 71hp@5700rpm and 86 ft-lb@3550rpm. Not too bad for my coupe but after the cars I watched today on the dyno, its definatly time to go EJ for me:banana:

Thats what I was thinking! Caleb, just because you paint it doesn't make you cool. Thats like if Brian said he painted his brake calipers on his old hatchback... doesn't make him any cooler! :lol:

Before, during and current
running stock Potenza RE92s, 205/55R16. Tires have 70% on them and the rims have almost 0 rash anywhere. Not bad for $200... Coilovers do come and go but they are for the '93-'01 Impreza and ran me about $80 or so.

Before, during and current
Decided to finally post up some actual pics of my coupe. STarted out, a FWD 3AT with a blown SPFI. Now it has a stock SPFI in it, RX gearbox, RX LSD, 5-lug conversion using Impreza front axles, struts, knuckles and brakes, XT6 front swaybar, tie rod ends and lower control arms, XT6 rear swaybar, hubs and rotors, Ebay cheapo coilovers, WRX rims and tires, short throw shifter and a couple other small things... Here's a pic of it last October. June of this year. October of this year.

STI exhaust fit?
gut the cats and put a custom axleback on it.

more coupe problems
A few things can cause vibration on higher speeds... First off, an out of balanced wheel, a bent rim, a CV axle with a lot of play (lateral, not longitudinal), a worn tie rod end, a blown strut causing vertical vibration from the uneveness of the road.... You need to be more specific. Does it do it all the time, just between certain speeds, what have you done to try and correct this? I'd go get the wheels balanced first and foremost, then go from there.

Bad shimy above 60mph '00obw
Caboobaroo replied to porcupine73's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXBeing the head alignment techician at a tire store (Les Schwab in Redmond, WA) I have seen other things not too uncommon to cause a vibration while the alignment and tires check out. If you get an alignment and the tires balanced and the shimmy continues, check the up and down movement of the CV axles. It should move up and down just a hair but if its anything more then that, time for a CV axle. I had a '98 Legacy Outback come in with the same vibration, would do it and then it wouldn't, (after he had an alignment and his tires balanced 4 times) and turns out the CV axle had excessive movement. Replaced the axle (driver side front) and the vibration was gone. Customer hasn't had a problem with it for 2 weeks now and he does a lot of freeway driving.

Cruise Control not working!
SWEET! No wonder my CC doesn't work! I'm going to wire it up to one of the switches on my dash so I can switch it to think its in neutral or drive:banana: Then I'm going to do my reverse lights since I have my diff lock wired up!
