First big run As the title say tonight was my first big run and it happen to be with a STI. It started by me just following him out of town on a four lane divided highway. Every time he would accelerate I would too. After a few miles every time there was an open stretch he would really hit it and I would end up going WOT all the while thinking was he saving anything? Finally we are far enough out of town to have some open stretches, still on a four lane divided highway. We started doing 60 rolls and even ran up into the 120s. I started every run in 2nd, gave him the hit but stayed next to him while gaining ground every time he shifted. However the last run was different, we slow to 30, with our windows down he called out 40 and I nodded yes. As we moved toward our magic number I was thinking O’ no this must be his sweet spot! At 38 mph, he started to honk it off and we both hit it on 3. I jumped out ½ car and began a very slow pull, once again every time he shifted my pull became faster. Soon it was all over, I was clearly the winner. He quickly hooked a U turn and headed the other way, I tried to follow but he didn’t want any more. I’m glad he baled because I wasn’t watching my trans temp…212
. As for the STI all I know was that it was a “new” one and had a big *** fart can. I had a trunk load of car parts (3 intakes and all my old engine parts) and a full tank of gas. Car hasn’t been tuned yet and I am going to install my trans cooler this week, I promise
. Some of my fun conclusions of tonight are that the numbers on the HUD were moving so fast that I couldn’t read them, this new engine can scream, I can throw myself around in 2nd and what will this car be like when the N2O is installed?

first run Me too! I plan on getting it tuned by "tunedbyfrost" during Xmas break. All the tracks are closed for the season so we will have to wait until spring.
A few more problems appeared last night; no remote start, no cruise control and this morning I herd a knocking noise when starting the car (23 degrees) but it soon went away. The journey continues....
