Nice man!

BTW, my SARX Intake seems to make a bit of a difference, my idle is funky but I am thinking the change is affecting the fuel trims. I will wait it out and see after a few drive cycles.

It shouldn't have messed up your idle you might want to pull some logs just to make sure.

Well I had to cut 6 inches of pipe off to fit it is I am thinking less of a straight shot to smooth out before the bend to the screen and MAF may have called and issue.

On a side note the car was built to drive and despite the custom work is trackable to an extent, I push it pretty hard when playing on some of the twisties about 10 minutes from where I live and the occasional lime creek run which I don't do as much as that road has gotten increasedly crowded with cyclists. I could have registered for the track portion but I really didn't feel like spending money trying to portray something my car is not, I'll leave that to other people out there who will undoubtedly show up acting like they're super mega bad *** as they spin out repeatedly etc.

Glad to have you back man. I did some data logs after work and got the misfire/rich issue to happen so I will post my logs in my build thread later.

I have some ideas on the intake, but I have to get some real shop equipment

$11k for a FC? Dude is way off. You can buy an RX8 or FD for that much.

$3600 for property taxes on on $140k house is high. Trade off for lower prices. Local government still wants their money.
