The best way to make your car to go faster is.....
















Remove all the interior :P

Your car will go a lot faster and the warranty will still be ok.

I got the same problem when I drove it in wet. Not all the time but once the noise appeared, the power will drop as well. I checked the exhaust and it has good clearance and the shocks are new adjustible.
At least I know I'm not the only one. :(

The Tein Spring is not that super low. It's around 25mm lower than standard. But it feel firmer than the standard one on corner.
Kings Spring would be a bit more bouncy and lower but it may bottm the suspension

Got the Tein Suspension fitted 20 minutes ago. (Me and my friend work together took just over an hour to fit them all.)
Road test on bumpy road, not bad at all with medium setting. (Better than Tein springs with standard shocks) Just not used to the air valve noise.
Cornering: way better than ...

My car used to have rare noise when it's cold. But i found out it was the air leaks between the manifold and block. When it's cold, the exhaust gas leaks from the tiny gap. When it's hot, the gap closes up.
It's gone after I tighten the manifold bolts.

Sorry to hear that.
Because it doesn't happen often, it's very hard to figure out what was going on...

I bought my car to the mechanic but they couldn't find out the reason as well.

Please let me know if you found it....

If your spark plug gap is wider than the standard, It may have chance to have bad back fire. It will use more fuel and less power. :)
Of course, there should have some other reasons.

Hi Fivebob, do you have a boost cut defender installed? My ST215W only can boost up to 1.2bar and the computer cut the fuel supply. :(
It's funny that I record the highest boost was 1.3bar (that was just millionsecond before the fuel cut) hehe

If I install the tank as the "usual" way. would that affect the boost of the intake? since the oil catch tank connect between the PCV and ...
