Well, I got my car back from Todd yesterday and I'm definately impressed. It has a significantly earlier spool up and the butt dyno seems to register more...

I got the godspeed pipe. There's no flex joint in it, so the install is a bit more problematic, but a shop should be able to do it without too much trouble. As...

Steve, I don't know if they are still doing them, but Orr Autoservice in St. Louis Park did a very good job of corner-weighting my 944T years ago (early ...
Steve, I don't know of an alignment shop (but maybe someone will chime it). Another possibility is a shop that specializes in race-car set-up. They might not...
I installed the up pipe. Not so bad of a job on a lift and you have a transmission jack to lift the motor slightly out of the way. I could see it taking 6-8...

So after two winters of nasty fuel smells in my wrx, I take another look under the hood, and *horror* there's fuel all over the place. The stuff is just going...

Look at that switch on top of the steering column, looks like a 4 way flasher switch. It is not. It is the park lamp switch. Turn it off... Todd Erickson Total...

Yep, that did it. How embarrassing! I even knew about that switch, and still forgot to check it! I can't figure out how it got turned on, I must have bumped...

Heh. Had this happen on Tim O'Neil's WRX at OFPR last summer. It took us about 5 minutes of staring dumbly before I remembered that switch from my wagon....
Happened to me once, too. I even looked at the switch and thought it was ok. Unfortunately, the switch had been bumped and it flipped only partially closed...

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Those questions are kind of vague. I think your asking about the air suspension and modified engine management. Am I...

I have those solenoids (used) if you need them. But, the air suspension seems to go one piece at a time. Each strut is over $250 each (I think). Then if the...

I decided not to hijack the Legacy thread, but Todd's mention of his hand-brake/FWD mod reminded me of this issue. It seems to me I read somewhere (i-club, no...

True. Because the cars are AWD and have a viscous coupled center diff, the front and rear wheels want to turn at the same, or close to the same speed....
Thanks, guys! I knew I'd get the straight answer here (faster than a search on nasioc). I'll leave the handbrake turns for Colin McRae Rally 2.0 and play ...
... In my experience, there are low-speed corners where my WRX will understeer if you stomp the gas. A quick tug on the handbrake does a fine job of inducing...
