Thanks.

you asked your questions to a forum known to flame up everyone,
then why would you ask why you lost in a race when you have no idea what he's done to this own rex,
and a real answer - learn how to drive your car like you stole it or get sympathy and be told it wasnt your fault he has meth and tune(which can be lies). find out what he has, rerace and end of story. if not, take the loss like a man and deal with it. after your tune you'll see an improvement.

I have rockets shot at me too when I play battlefield, are you saying you've been playing for the past 8 months straight?

Well he did admit to being in the air force sorry let me correct the spelling "chair force" so you are probably correct.

Dude there's a lot of us on here that are in the military... No need to to brag about getting rockets shot at you... A simple I was deployed will work...

What a gigantic ballbag.

It is also my pleasure to help you communicate.

DO people in the airforce even take the airforce seriously?

People who enjoy their job in Air Force take it serously. Helping Kill 12k terrorist in one deployment would make some people proud. Every branch has their dick bags, the Air Force just happens to have... a lot.

But what do I know only been a short time. But, Long enough to be shafted by the government.

But then again, we can't all be as smart as those Army and Marine Corps guys..

I love being in the Air Force... Best job ever but it's a joke from time to time... I only say that because some people take their job way to serious at times it's not needed

Let's be honest here we all make fun of each other especially at home but we certainly count on each other to get the job done. While still ripping on each other. I'm sure if there's one thing we can agree on it's the government stick we all get.

[tbcota25]

It's fun picking at each other lol

i'm not sure he's going to return to this thread. a few possible reactions he may be experiencing:

sadness:



wrath:



deceit:



apathy:



the last one may be the most boring and disappointing, but you can never lose with a ron swanson attitude.

You forgot the most important one: butthurt

[MD1032]

What's really incredible is that the WRX didn't pull more than 3 car lengths at 60 mph, combination of the new WRX's having a solid engine and tune (they make more power atw than a stock Gen1 MS3...and they're AWD), and your car running horribly. Also, the new WRX's have GDI and a small turbo just like us...which means they have legit torque and fast response, even at low RPM's, just like we do.

I bet the reason your car is hesitating is a combination of the WMI and the step colder plugs. I bet if you pulled your plugs, they'd be all carboned up from not getting hot enough. You realize that literally the primary purpose of using WMI is to allow you to run more boost and (mainly) ignition timing, right? And that's what you haven't done. And at Cobb OTS boost levels with an upgraded intercooler and WMI, your BAT's are probably literally less than half of what mine are with the stock intercooler running 20 psi. I'm running stock plugs!

What do you vdyno at (4th gear, flat road)? Do you even take logs regularly? Maybe you should start doing that!

But yeah, don't know what else to say that hasn't been said here already!

[coasttime]

I am not running meth i have it installed but it is disconnect because i know i need a tune before i spray. This is not a troll just was wondering what was going on. I am running a stage 2 ots tune from cobb right now, if i wasn't then i would not have installed all of these parts. I have been a member since 2012 but i am just now getting all my upgrades. Like i said before i have a tune slot lined up just waiting to get the tune now. I was not but hurt i know how it is on forums, everyone has their own opinion and we are all blunt. This is not my first time. Yes i was getting rockets shot at me and that is why i was not able to get all my stuff installed and tuned. But i look forward to the flame it lets me know who i am dealing with. Glad you all got a laugh out of this and thanks to the ones that actually care about other member success in builds.

[acousticdefbot]

those cobb ots tunes fucking suck if you don't have the tuning knowledge to modify them on your own. i tried one of their stage II tunes ages ago and experienced the most violent boost cut under hard acceleration. almost shit myself. it's way more fun to get an adrenaline boner because of the smooth and intense power delivery you'll experience with a proper tune.

Got you. Thanks i am still learning about the MS3. So for now i should get an ots from freek or stratisfied?

[Dat8687]

Both are great

[acousticdefbot]

there are a bunch of options. stratified, freektune, purple drank, richtune, hypnotic, and some others. probably many others. research it before you purchase and go with who you decide you're comfortable with. whoever you choose, you win. you'll notice stratified will discount the cost of your ots tune if you purchase a full tune from them within a certain time frame. they employ varying strategies as far as how your car is tuned, but again, it's all winning. research them, email them with questions, trust them with your tuning cherry and allow them to pop it.

Either one is a good choice. Just get it sooner rather than later.

[coasttime]

I did a lot of research a while back. I just ordered from stratisfied. Thanks

I got the the s-ots + tune last summer while I was waiting to get tune by hypnotic... It was a pretty bad ass ots + tune... You won't be disappointed...

With either my 93 or E map I am sure I would have walked him badly.

Originally Posted by biggman026 You would have, and @CWP_MS3; would have too on his E85 map even with 3rd gear limited.

Was around three car lengths ahead by 60mph from a dig, and from the 40 roll I was a couple bus lengths ahead by 100. No idea if he was modded, but I was on my E85 map.

You're also making 40whp more than I am... lol

I'd be willing to bet the guys you two raced were not very modded. Both of these WRX's are full bolt ons and protuned, and appear to have decent drivers. Again, I'm not sure if they were on pump or E85. Both of them are complete liars, but I saw one of their dynos on a "post your dyno" thread on FB for our local street racing scene. I'd have to look at it again but I'm certain that it was 320s and 350s torque.

Most people are just bullshit mods and tunes, so I'm not surprised when I hear stories like yours. I'm just saying, they're a lot faster than you think. You just haven't been mixed up with the right ones. I've raped a lot of cars, and out of all of them, those 2 were quite eye opening and had me rethinking what I thought I knew about the WRXs. Run into one that's serious about going fast, and isn't just a typical broru owner, and you might end up getting drug down the highway for underestimating him.

Ron Swanson is the mother fucking man.

But on topic, OTS tunes suck, especially if you have anything more than an intake, you're really hurting the cars performance more than anything. There is a kid in the area bolted k04 (except IM/EM) running a shitty Cobb OTS S2+ tune or whatever it is. I offered to tune him many times, for free like other people I've tuned have down here, and he always refused saying he is getting pro tuned. This happened literally about a year ago, still running the OTS tune, and is having problems quite often I hear.

[Erick13Speed3]

Damn. The only WRX that ever pulled on me was modded the hell out and I was stock at the time. If I can keep up with a 2015 Sti with an ots tune and a driver mod you should be able to get a wrx. But I'm not one to talk, got smacked by a sleeper turbo integra a few weeks ago

Thanks for being truthful with me even though you were an ass about it. Lol you are always willing to help even if someone says something dumb. Thanks

That is true. I just love a good illegal street race gives me a chubby every time I mash on the gas.

I believe Ron Swanson is a God lol. My tune will be here in about 48 hrs. Thanks for the input.

What sucks is I used to pull on them before I installed my FMIC.

What fmic how big is the core? I know they can cause a bit of boost drop/ lag mainly of not spooled I'm no expert but maybe you have a boost leak check all your hoses and clamps. Also are you running the stage 2 or 3 map from cobb currently?

I am running a Treadstone TR8 FMIC. I just installed my map from stratitfied and it is awesome its hard to get use to the flat foot shifting. My car drives a lot smoother now and it is faster. I will get a custom tune in a couple weeks. Thank you all for your help.

[AwAfrican]

Glad to hear its running better!

[SuckSqueezBangBlow]

Glad to hear it as well, Tuning makes all the difference. When Nishan did my Genpu it was like night and day. He does great work
