Hey all! It's been so long since I was on here that I forgot my old username and had to start over. Maybe it was because the original forum changed hands or something? I don't know.
ANYWHO, I picked up a new 2012 in 2012 and over the years put 108k miles on it - many winters, zero body rust, lots of good times. Couple years ago got back into autox and used it to get my feet wet again. Only mods I've had were Torque Solutions RMM and the Bilstein B8 + Swift Spec-R combo. Great combo for daily driving.
After the first event of my 2.0 tour, got into the car a bit more with parts I had sitting around for years that I never got around to installing:
Autotech HPFP internals
CS injector seals + cleaned/inspected injectors
Freektune'd
JBR 3" SRI
CS TMIC
SURE IC piping couplers
GFB DV
CS passenger engine mount
Damond EGR delete kit
Suspension, I recently had both sub frames powder coated (only rusty pieces on the cars other than the arms I replaced)
Front sub frame has Lumberjack solid aluminum bushings and the steering rack has Clint's solid bushings as well
New front LCA with Powerflex race bushings + ALK
Redshift Competition coilovers on order for a while (hopefully soon!)
Fresh hubs and bearing, inner/outer tie rods... essentially a 95% rebuild/replace.
The rear LCA are all I retained (blasted and painted, Powerflex race bushings as well) and the rest was:
CS toe arms, JBR camber arms, CS RSB.
I have a fresh CS RMM and transmission mount ready to go in as well.
None of it is super special but it's been fun and a great way to kill time. (except valve cleaning
)
Really appreciate this forum as well as the vendors/crazies that still support these cars! Hoping for another 108k miles of fun!
