cylinder count dropping

Ah you could have gotten our HPFP for for cheaper :stuck_out_tongue:

Bunch of updates

Modified the VWR intake bracket to clear the coolant line better

Flashed the IE Stage 1 tune tonight, quick butt dyno run suggests big bump over 4k RPM. Will run logs after 100 miles or so to adapt

Better photo of the shift knob, hoping they’ll do a matching ebrake handle

slam beers, tune car, road test!

looks like a MADD commercial lol

how’s the logging and acceleration testing coming?

Lol didn’t think of how the chronology would look, thankfully those were all different days.

Got logs from the tune I need to upload, decent bump in acceleration despite the high DA recently.

Going to change my plugs and coils this weekend and run another set. Going with a 1 heat range cooler plug.

Also think my PC may shot, had an inexplicable drop in fuel economy a while back. I’ve got a Spulen catch can kit to put on but I want to do it after the plug/coil logs so I can compare.

Post tune logs

are the before logs posted underneath?

ah nevermind, just saw the date.

picked up about 25-30 RPM/sec? in much worse DA. IAT’s are quite different.

750ish vs. 2250 ish . Big diff.

Stalled out on the highway last night, turns out the MAF was dirty (installed a VWR intake back in May). Blew it out with brake cleaner and its back to normal.

Also decided to throw in the plugs and coils I had sitting on the shelf. One of the coils looked close to quitting.

So cylinder count going back in the right direction. What about the winter do you have a winter beater still.

Haha, quite the change!

Great color, look forward to hearing your impressions. I haven’t been out in one of the new generations yet, but the styling is so much better than older generations that I’d actually consider owning one of the new ones.

Can’t wait to hear more feedback and additional pics!

Moved down to the Tampa, FL area, no more winter’s for me.

Way better daily than old generations, the comfort and interior quality is substantially better. It’s about comparable to my Golf, if you go 3LT trim it gets semi high end.

Haven’t really pushed it too hard yet, just putting around commuting.

Cool! Look forward to seeing more of it and a droptop in FL is definitely the right choice! Hope you enjoy the Tampa area and the new job treats you well.
