I'm glad you decided to make another build thread.

Sub'd!

Okay so after 2 days of intense work i completed the energy suspension bushings install. While i had the lca's off i replaced the driver side outer boot that had a slash on it, and replaced the passenger side axle that was due for replacement. After everything was buttoned up i went for a quick spin down the neighborhood and what a difference these bushings made!! Im overall happy and cant wait till after alignment on monday to give her an wot pass and see if the handling has improved. Onto my pix.

And after the test drive!!

Just got back from the alignment and how bad was it, camber, and toe were all fked up but glad the homie hooked it up and now the ep is good to go. Did a wot pass and adios tq steer!!! Finally my issue has been solved.

i was also surprised on the new sensors they has there for the alignment, it clamps to the tires, not the rims like the traditional way.

Nice man. Car going straight is always a good thing.

I wish they made a master bushing kit for my car. All they have is the rsx!

The STi is a wonderfull machine mann let me tell ya.. Theres not one thing i can dislike, i love every single bit of it.

Bought it back in Dec 21st fairly stock, all it had was the sri previous owner left for us in the trunk BNIB!!!

Lmao. Personally I think almost nothing looks sexier then heated up stainless. Especially when it's a turbo mani. :thumb:

Honestly have not a clue. I just know its stainless and it's been used. Lol

But I know after install and before you start the car for the first time... You have to clean the manifold to ensure there are no finger prints on it. They will burn into the stainless. Happened on my header in my accord and it bugged the shit out of me every time I popped the hood.

You are using a 3 port now btw not a 2 port. And the benefits of the 4 port are faster spool and the ability to use a lower psi spring and make more boost from the lower spring than the 3 port could from a higher spring.

oops how dumb of me yes 3 port, well ill have to see if with this i will accomplish my goal im only seeking 500 or less, id settle for 475+, so itll all depend, o and btw fellas the PTE 6266 is on it way, ETA 7 days...

Ya the 4 port will help that large 6266 feel a little smaller and allow you to run lower psi in 1st and 2nd and still get your peak boost that you want in the higher gears.
