What rubbers you are running?
I'm thinking about toyo r888 255 or 265 for my car with the 18'' track rays wheels.

 

Good to hear everything came out better then you expected!

 

I mean, its fine. But it just suprise me.
18x9.5 275/40
Sumitomo tires. I don't have an experience with toyo.

 

You getting married? Congrat! Me and my fiance gotta plan for that next year.

I wonder how tp+nismo sounds with vortech, I'm sure it will bad a$$.

 

Thanks man, Hurry n join the FI world! Show us how your beauty headers/cams combo works on FI!

 

Just took a pic inside of Metal HFC. Looks nasty. lol I thought it was only one side, but both side are. ehhh

 

They look terrible. That was your problem all along with idle and everything else. I would still email the manufacture the pic's. How many miles were on them?

 

That does look really crappy...I dont understand how that can happen...I guess Ill be thinking more towards TP's

 

from running lean - EGT's skyrocket, and melt the core

 

umm.. well ****, it took all taking your car to 3 shops to try to fix an idling problem thought to be a tuning or ems problem only to find out it was a bad set of cats. that sux.

 

Pretty much. Idle was fine when i first got to TX, and it started acting worst and worst (So i thought it is somekinda weather). Guess it finally gave up at last tuner location. Glad that they found something wrong tho, otherwise i probably driving with melted cat and hurt the engine.


After i received the car, i did contact jared with few questions. Now it does make sense about rough idle and struggle exhaust sounds at idle.

Jared thinks it caused by melted HFC and plus idle was too high.
Jared recommand, set my idle at 600~900, but i asked him to keep that high (Now that i have cipher cable, i can always reset idle at anytime). There is very slight movement at idle, but it doesn't bother me at all now.

Frankie, is your RFS is loud too?

 

yeah september 4th 2010, so we have been booking and buying things lately..

well im running my hollowed out high flows now and ran them for a while before they cracked basically as test pipes and it def. sounds nasty...pops when i shift wot and just plain out livened it up and sounds like a beast..i would have done test pipes from the beginning if i knew it would have sounded the way it does..i had mine welded today to hold me over till the new test pipes get here, im thinking of changing my y pipe up though to have more flex cause of the notorious nismo cracking issues with test pipes and high flows..thinking of going motordyne but i dont know if i wanna drop the cash on it xyz pipe

Not loud at all. Have a fuel leak I have been fighting for about 3 weeks now. Only leaks under boost can smell it in the cabin. I know it's coming from under the hood and not fuel cell. Going to put some fuel dye in there tomorrow and boost it a bit to try and pin point my leak. I guess that's what I get for buying a used FRS. Probably new fuel lines on the way.

 

I don't think i have a fuel leak or any. I don't smell any fuel ( expect outside the car cause of TP) I just hear "eehhh" sounds inside the cabin , i thought my A/C was making that noise at first but it wasn't. hahaha Sounds funny tho.

 

CooCoo! Sep 4, 10? isnt too early??

Yea, XYZ pipe is pretty expensive. I wanted XYZ pipe when i had nismo, but was out of my budget at that time. i end up installed AAM y-pipe.
