Robert you keep closing threads talking about DOUG's respect? Why do you care about what another man thinks across the world. This is the second time today you've done this. Who is doug? He aint sh*t.

If it was me I wouldnt be closing/deleting threads because of some guy on the inet but thats me

Well not much to report. Talked to my shop the other day. IC is at SwainTech getting the BBE coating. Buddy of mine will be dropping the car off on the 8th to get everything installed. Still waiting on the StopTech BBK but that ETA is 17-March. Bought some more engine bling parts; ARC Oil Cap & Raditor Cap and Tein Hood Dampers. Of course on back order but should be there when I get home. Still waiting on the Defi gauges, ARC Catch Can and HKS SSQV BOV. Unless my shop can knock out the install in one week looks like dyno tuning will be the March 21st.

I think this might be some of the funniest $hit I have ever read on this site. I'm glad there are others in this world who have figured out this guy has nothing worthwhile to post and is just sucking up space on this site. I think this guy just litters up every forum he is on with worthless threads like these.

Have a great day!

Please don't close it, there is far too much useful information here for those who are just starting out. Please don't do them a dis-service Robert and close it down. People need you and your expert advice!

Robert why did you chose Perrin Boost Solenoid over TXS ? i`ve noticed that Subaru guys did the same on the DTEC they chose Perrin, am i able to get more better results and less installation troubles with it ?

Thanks in Advance.

I asked the same question to my tuner about 4-5 months back. If I remember correctly the Perrin is just a better BC. I'll try to remeber to ask this weekend again.

Received an e-mail from MAC today... Sounds like everything is going smoothly. Best part is the Works cleared the ST BBK w/o the spacers! Yay! That took a lot of worry off my shoulder. I'm just not a fan of spacers.

As of today, we don't yet have the core back in our possession, but we know it is in transit back from Swain. We received the Ichiba spacers, but the car does NOT need them for brake clearance. The install on the brakes is complete, and the Works clear everything just fine without the spacers - both front and rear. We will hold on to the spacers for you but if they aren't necesary, we would not recommend their use. The look of the Works with the brakes is really dramatic - I believe you will like the look as much as the stopping power.

Option I added. As well as the Zinc coating on the rotors. The reason for the plates is cooling. The silver calipers, from what I've researched, turn to a bronze/brown color when exposed to extreme heat. IE multiple track/auto-x events. I try to attend an event at least once a year. So every bit of cooling I can get I'm going to use. Once I pick up the car I'm going to look at making some DIY cooling ducts for them.

I've just read through your thread and it all looks great.

Did you paint the intercooler?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a NU-B.
