Make sure you get the tune bro or your going to get a system to lean code.
Luckily I'm deploying so I can wait till I get back.
With the pnp manifold,65mm TB and CAI lol I threw a CEL. The car runs great actually but I know I'm not getting the most power out of it because I need a tune.

UPDATE: installed my base shifter buschings, shifting is smoother, pretty easy install.
i thought it would be more, but i guess reading all the good reviews hyped it up too much for me, but it does feel nice.

Flip do you have the underhood bushing too? I got the base bushings to start with and it felt much less squishy and more smooth, but nothing like I thought it would be with all the hype. Then I got the underhood bushings too and it felt much better, I think the 2 together made it feel like the difference I was anticipating from all the reviews. I think I might switch the underhood bushings to the poly ones with the salty roads in WI.
I'm thinking about the reflash too, do you know how the price with the core charge works? I'm kind of confused.

Ohh ok thanks man, I've been looking into the re-flashe in the past few days and went through the Hackish Reflash Review thread twice. Maybe you could answer some other questions I have about it. When the software comes out with the cable, can I just plug the cable from my laptop to the ecu and hit go and it will flash it and accommodate my mods(catback,sri,udp,throttle body)? Or will I have to go into the software and manually alter stuff? I'm a complete noob with tuning and don't want to have to alter stuff lol

ok so i believe my cv joint is going out, im having the same mystery problem a few of us RA guys have been having with the clicking of the front driver side wheel, it was at first when it was cold and it was when i was turning. but that went away after a few mins of driving, so i thought it was just the grease inside the cv joint not spreading around like it should due to the cold temps im having here. but now i here the clicking every so often while im driving. im going to look into it further in the morning. ill put the car on the lift or just jack it up and play with the axels, and check all other suspension components, see what i find. if it is a my cv joint, im going to change it out myself, ive always wanted to change them out myself, dosnt look TOO hard. if i do change it out ill take pics and post a how to. another way for us to save some money on minor repairs

If you do it yourself, definitely post up a how to and pics, I have a clicking too, but mine does it when moving/turning and when sitting still as well. I'm thinking mine might be the strut bushing, the ball joint, or the cv joint. Let us know Flip! It's been way too cold here for me to want to lay on the concrete floor to diagnose ha!

Hey Flip, I couldn't sleep last night lol so I sat up reading around the whole site and went through your whole tread pretty much. Did you ever start a wire tuck on your RA? I was interested in this as well.
