Did you made a custome straight pipe or did you just cut the mufflers and welded a 2.5 piping?

I did a custom pipe .. cutting just the muffler is just a waste.. the oem mid pipe is very retrictive where it splits for the dual set up..

Welcome to the club!!
Sorry, I missed this, I PM'ed you. Found an ad on Kijiji from AllCore 1 Performance. I was happy with me experience so far.
On that subject, I finally had time to go out and plug in the AP. I backed up and loaded the "Stage 0" map just to test out the gauges and try a few logs. What is Stage 0, anyway, supposed to be stock? Or does it use your backed up map?

Haven't been on here in a while. Did a few things since I got it a few months back..
badass, what taillights are those. I have LED ones that are same style as the stockers, I like the ones you have a lot! Also what exhaust?
I believe those are eBay tails.

same motor, so fits the motor yes, but some different modifications may be needed for the body. Not sure if the FMIC fits inside the front fascia of the CX7, my wife has a CX but I do not have a FM to compare between my 6 and her car. The upgraded TMIC should be good enough for most bolt on plans.

Have you experienced any clunking from the rear end under acceleration? I had Eibachs and they relaxed, causing the CV shafts to bottom out. I had about the same ride height as shown in your pics. Had to pull the springs and install OEM springs to make the issue go away.
Bought a set of Autotech HPFP internals to install once I get home. Been putting this upgrade off for too long, was researching the maker preparatory to buying a set from someone on a forum. Found a vendor with a discount that came in at $5 more than the private seller, decided to get it from them so I would have recourse if there is a problem.

I had a fun Saturday with what I assume is a destroyed front left wheel bearing. She goes into the shop tomorrow morning for diagnosis/repair. I requested a flatbed, and thankfully they were OK with that, and the driver was a good dude. Actually, the truck was pretty sweet. First time I've seen a retractable covered flatbed for a routine pickup.
I never have not had any issues with them at all.. no clumping etc... Funny thing is that I just removed ebaich sport lines out of my car..but I never had any issues with those either..I rode on those for about 2 years..
The only reason I replaced them was because I felt I needed new struts and shocks come to find out ..they were still good...

Yeah, thanks jr, I usually go OEM unless there's a specific part I want to intentionally replace.
So it was the bearing, the other 3 are fine. At the same time, he said the front ball joints (SPC) had a lot of play in them and should be replaced. We talked about replacing with new SPC's, which would mean waiting for shipping (who knows how long) or going with a set from Moog that he found which also have a lifetime warranty, and he could get in this afternoon. I went with the Moog ones, I hope they work out. That all means that I needed an alignment done too, but I was overdue for that anyway, so not a big deal. I'm pretty comfortable with this shop, so I didn't request custom specs, I just told him that the factory "acceptable range" was garbage, and I wanted it optimized for reduced tire wear but a slight bit more aggressive with just a touch of negative camber.
Fingers crossed... no more trips to the shop in 2014!
