I FINALLY GOT MY CAR!!!!! But i do have a few Probs with it. Ok to start off, My parking lights stay on even when the car is off... Anyone know how i can fix this? The car came with an exhast+ intake+ and a blitz blow off valve, the car runs really good, but you can tell it kind of skips, even when i'm driving it, you can kind of feel it lagg 9It pulls and then kind of lets off). Should i take it to go get a tune? or whats you guys suggestions.. should i be concerned? Ok and another thing.... the frount bumper has a little peice missing. Its a square, is there any where i could get that peice.. Thanks you guys and im soooo excite!!! This car is awsome!!!! Really, there is no other car on earth like this one!!! YEAAA!!!
There is a switch on top of the steering wheel for the parking lights lol. Don't worry we have all done it.
That pulls hard then lets off things scares the ever loving shit out of me. That brief description makes me think your car is pulling timing because of knock. With your mods that is very possible. If your car really is knocking you won't be enjoying it for long. You have been reading here, so you know what is wrong with your setup. I would borrow someones accessport cable and log your car using tari racing software. This will tell you if your car is knocking. You can post the logs on here for analysis.
the car doesnt knock at all.. i think it might just need a good tune.... It just feels like its missing a tid bid . Also it does kind of smell like some dust burned off.. or something, anyone else know what this could be? i think it might be my heater because when i turned it on it kind of smell like that. Another problem is no one around where i live has a AP. So i think i might take it to my tuner shop and see what they can do for me. Do you think its ok if i kind of drive it here and there if i take it slow.... Thanks!!! BTW This car takes off liek a bat out of hell lol...
No its a stock Tranny+clutch. I thought you ment knocking like you could hear it. ok so ill baby it.. Ill start shifting at like 2k. Ok another question is, does anyone know what that burning smell is? Is it just my heater. Thanks!
i would recommend taking that bov and intake off. Try that and see how it run wrx's don't get along with intakes and bov's to well without a proper tune
I really dont want to take the BOV and the intake off. I love the sound of the BOV and the intake, so i think im just going to go tomarrow and get it tuned.. Thanks!
What brand intake is it? If it is one that does not have the MAF aligned correctly no tuner can fix that. And there is no way to tune for a BOV, though in my experience they don't effect the way a car runs that badly.

Let me know what the tune does because I'm feeling the same sort of thing with the hesitation and then hard pulls.
Ok so I took my car and I found out what was happening. The F****** dumbA** that owned the car before me grounded an amp to the ecu. When they plug it in to diagnose the car, over 4 pages of red flags went up. So it all comes down to my ECU is fried and my car is in limp mode. The only thing is, it doesn’t feel like its in limp mode.... But they said it is. So if anyone knows where i can find a ECU for like $200-$350 please tell me. Another thing they said was I should do a few diff things before i get my cobb ap. But everyone here tells me to get the cobb ap first. What do you guys think! Thanks and all help would be appreciated.
