looks good man, nice work.

ummm, unless i missed something, what lip is that. looks real nice.

Primary o2 was bad. Grabbed the NGK at Advance Auto and swapped it out. All good now, thanks for the help everyone.

grabbed some Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's (Brisgestone RE-003) at Firestone yesterday during their presidents day sale. The deal is $100 off a $500 purchase. The tires actually came out to $501, so $433 out the door for 225-40-18. So far so good.

@neganox; what does it mean if the AFR's don't change while tapping the throttle?

@neganox; no, the AFR does not change when i tap the throttle.

here's a log at idle. if anyone wants to take a look i'd appreciate it.

going through a similar condition at the moment. do you have a check engine light on? any codes to report? i have the 2187. lean at idle. bogs down in every gear under 3k.

I've tried everything. Not really, but it feels that way. I got the mysterious p2187 code the other day, "lean at idle". Then i did tons of OCD rearch, and down the rabbit hole i went. I dismantled the car by removing the TMIC, battery, and intake. I looked over all the hoses, cleaned the...

Sweet. Do you have the stock Bose system? I've been planning on doing this with my gen 1. So far I've run the power cable. I'm a bit nervous about tapping into the pre-amp wires to run the aftermarket amp. Is that what you did, or did you go the Pac-oem-maz thing route?

GAH! i have no issues with the price. hmm, guess we'll wait and see then.

@CorkSport - Derrick Any word on the front lip for Gen 1 speed 3's? I can't seem to find the thread for the Gen2 lips. Thanks.

finally changed out my worn, front sway bar bushings. the knocking and rattle has been driving me crazy for a while now.

thanks bud, i haven't been holding in the clutch. i've been engine braking with the clutch out, then i slightly press it in once it gets close to idle. i'll try as you mentioned. also, sorry for thread jacking. but i do plan on an s3 down the road if that matters.

not sure really. i bought the car 3 years ago with 42k on the clock. i've put 30k on since, so the car is at 72k miles. not sure if a kid owned it before me or what. just started happening over the summer. i tried this "reverse scrubbing" technique over the weekend and can't really get it...

cool. i engine brake almost every stop. i started doing exactly how you explained yesterday. i'll keep it up for "research purposes". but damn, my car (an '08) is only around 300hp / 320 tq., on e33. gonna need a clutch soon.

i've been noticing my revs climbing while trying to accelerate in higher gears for some time now. it happens very randomly and i assume it's the clutch. i even sent Justin a log of exactly what you have, and he mentioned it looks like clutch slip. what is this magical trick you speak of...
