Sent a pm.
Went to my first Auto Cross and really first time ever racing anything. It was fun. I started with a run of 38 seconds which put me around 30th place and finished in the 34s and in 12th place. I would have had a 33.8 but I knocked over one cone.
I have the 2016 RS with dealer installed exhaust and air intake.

Well, PCV fix definitely went better than expected. Threw some Sea foam in to clear it her throat, watched her belch out the carbon build up from faulty PCV system. Officially seeing 40+MPG again and great acceleration once again. Now to wait for BNR to have their wastegate actuator back in stock and to order new spark plugs. :banana:
Hard piped my intake due to the original falling apart and did wanna cough oh the dough for one that would just do it again. Also installed new shift knob just looks ****e cause I havnt had time to modify or remove the reverse lockout. Not pictured are the blue LED dome and maplights. So much rice in a day I think I'm gonna have to buy the tune next to balance it out XD

Car is bogging down pretty bad when I pull out the oil dip stick. Could this be the PCV going bad? I was just looking at buying the fix. 39600 miles

It'll do that regardless of a bad or good pcv system on these cars. I've already tested this.
On a side note, I dropped $580 this weekend on a corrugated PCV line and the BNR LS7 coil pack upgrade. So fed up with these garbage stock coil packs. Was raining on my way up north, and every WOT pull would cause it to misfire, No rain, no Misfire.... Decelerate, snap crackle pop. Downshift, pop pop pop. So going to be worth the 6 week lead times.
I straight pip3d the car. Well almost. Its just dumping out the secondary cat right now cause the idiot helping me decided to make his own decisions on my car while I was in the bathroom and cut the flange too close so I couldn't fit a new pipe on it. So for now I have to hav3 it dumping directly underneath me

Almost got my boost gauge installed.. till I tried to get through the grommet in the firewall on the drivers side. :blankface: Such a tight spot but also ran out of daylight and patience, so it will wait next weekend.
On a positive note, I got the locations for my cont power and acc. power fuse extenders solved in the interior fuse panel.
Blue, I might be doing that LS7 coil upgrade as well.
boosti, ya finding good help these days is def a crap shoot... even if I know what I am doing, I would still wait for the person I am helping to be there so I do it the way they wanted.
Could you possibly get zzp's 2nd high-flow cat to fix it or would the lead time and cost vs. a shop fixing it be about even and quicker.

Tormach I'm fully strait piping anyways (loud and proud boiii) it's just I was gonna make it dump towards the back not under my seat like it is now. But I'm gonna have to have a shop weld a pipe onto the old flange and then get the catless dp and second cat delete pipe.

I mean if you just have everything flanged for easy removal and install it ain't bad. But I live in a non emission controlled state soooo. But yea, basically I told him we were gonna cut off the resonator from it's flange but I had to piss so I said "just hold on a sec I'll be back" and th3 original plan was to cut it off with about 3-5 inches of pipe still on it so I could fit a pipe over that and hav3 it dump further back, but instead he went ahead and cut it right at the flange. No big deal really but I don't have access to a welder so I'm just gonna go in to a shop next week and give them the flange and tell them what I want done. Plus it just means I can use 3" pipe with a 4" tip instead of like 2.5"pipe that the stock is.

Sounds like a warped rotor. Have you done a lot of heavy braking?
