My new Hatch!!! Tons of pics

[mylovehx]

Kool deal man! You should make a short vid of it again now its tuned!

Sounds pretty damn bad ass. Just gotta figure out a good spot for the phone.
In turbo news... the 7lb spring is too weak to stay shut when it needs to and the 10lb spring seems a bit too strong with it fluttering at low boost. But with the 10lb spring in, the pulls are stronger. I think it may just need to be broken in for a bit. Thoughts?

On with the few pics I took during this busy ass day!

Please don't over compliment me on my bad ass staggered fitment

Random pic I took last night driving home. 1 gauge turned into 3!

Well now tial has updated thier spring rates. Says the 10lb is now an 11lb and now hows an option for a 9lb. and yet somehow the same springs for the old 50mm are different on the new Q even though they are the same springs XD dear lord. So I bought the 9lb lol I'll rock the 7lb till that bish comes in to be on the safe side like a smart person would

How much boost are you having to build to get it to open?

Pretty much 5 which is max. With that 10lb in there, the vac at idle is lower than the 7lb. So i am hoping the 9lb will be the sweet spot.

^ i hope so for you too man i bet it will be

Also when I am on it hard, it won't stay in gear in 3rd. Whats up with that business?

What do you mean wont stay in gear. If you mean what i think then sounds like a new clutch is in your future

When I get it into gear from second it will start to pop out. And it is a new clutch

have you missed any gears????/.....i know when i had my b16 turbo eg....i missed a couple times going into third while street racing and a couple weeks later had the same issue.......ended up needing new synchros

 

[mymmeryloss]

[Failsafe88]

Bye bye 531s

My dust cover started rubbing pretty hard so I took it off as it was damn f***ing annoying. As it would turn out the fly wheel cut through it in one spot. Haven't had time to drive it yet.

Work parking lot ^_^ but in 4x4 mode =P snow still forecasted

[TigBitties]

I stated earlier in the thread that I'm not painting anything until the spring time, but thank you for your kind words

Yeah it always has. I'll get a pic of it later.

I also took off the weighted shift knob and put the stock back on. Maybe the forces were pulling that biotch back when accelerating as it was the heaviest knob they had. But more than likely its the syncros

 

[TigBitties]

was it bent? it shouldnt be hitting and if it is then you have a issue in your trans set up.
