Never really said hello. Just bought an 09 coupe with the LSD and RPD. Should be a fun DD and occasional track car.
I live in TN and most of my car knowledge comes from WRX's ,Evos , Supras,Camaros, 350z.
The DI of the LNF is new but I am excited in learning all about it. I look forward to contributing to the boards.

I just think that when someone looks through the windshield of a white car and see red seats... you automatically say " that dood is gangSTAR" ... Thanks for the welcomes.

Plans after the warranty with the GM stage kit: Hahn bolt-ons , NewEra wheel upgrade, whoever has an accessable tuner platform that I can tune myself.

Plan on draging the car for fun, but more importantly , I want to be in rearview mirror of my STI and EVO buddies at the roadcourse.

Did you order your car or buy it off the lot?

Chandler

I ordered it right off the line. I know somebody that knew somebody, that helped me. LOL

originaladrian

damn thts a nice car!

Chandler

Well total it was around 2 weeks LOL... sorry. But I was not in any hurry really since the guy that crashed my WRX lent me his 5 series. But They orginally didnt put the RCD in it and I was a little pissed, so they held it over the holidays to fix that. Yeah they said that there are not that many of us White Ones with the red.

Welcum to the site, nice ride, I like the white with red interior, definately different.

Chandler

you can literally see where the ecu yanks the power back down. LOL with a reflash this thing is going to be a beast. This is on a DynoDynamics, so for those that want dyno/mustang numbers just add 15%-17%.

welcome dude.......love the car

Welcome nice car!

MBMCustoms

wanna trade? i like it. deffinately thinking of getting one just like this in a few years

Chandler

thanks, this was on crappy ethanol gas. It picked up 10hp from one pull with me doing nothing.LOL I am sure that with better gas that it will pick up 10hp more.

Hmmm. All my experience with Ethanol has yielded MORE power, albeit a reduced economy factor. Could be your ECU was just playing the compensation game...

Chandler

Ethanol has a higher compression rate, yes e85 make alot of power, but the e10-e25 at some pumps it is actually detrimental to common injection systems. As well as power. Since ethanol has a high attraction to water, it will carry it into the gas and reduce the burn across the cyl making less power for the stroke. I just did a whole college presentation on regular vs 10% ethanol gas with reasearch and datalogs , it is pretty in depth , there are more factors but that is really the primary cause of reduced power and mpg.

Welcome, I like the white..

white looks nice. Welcome

Around here a pilot friend of mine did research on our local gas stations because in some cases they don't have to use aviation fuel if it has no ethanol. Aircraft can not use ethanol gas because of ethanol being an alcohol and thus attracting water. Anyway, there is only 1 brand around that has 0 ethanol (Kwik Fill--United Refining) and it's 100 Pennsylvania crude. This is what I use. I find the car runs better and I get better fuel economy. He found that Sheetz gas (which is Israeli gas) is posted "up to 10% ethanol" but he actually found it to be almost 20%!

p.s., the white looks tight.

Chandler

Thanks.

This is true, the studies for school I am doing , I have found that there are 3 times that ethanol is added. The refinery, Distro , and the stations themselves. The pump is actually around 15-20% of ethanol. Dont forget about Exxon. They have yet to follow suit, but I am affraid that it will not be long till they are forced to add ethanol.

i hate you that is the exact setup i wanted but nice car by the way
