MSP down again. back to repair mode to swap out both front wheel bearings.
Replaced both front calipers within a week, both freezing up on my way to work. Hopefully the heat didn't damage the wheel bearings.
The OEM radio conked out too so I bought a new ribbon cable to do the repair myself. This is the last time. If it doesn't work, it's getting chucked.

LMAO im so glad im not the only one... guess there were a couple that they sent out that were a bit flawed or something. the damage is done and you cant see it unless you go under the car and remove the exhaust, so no harm no foul in my mind.

Thanks
passed smog after second try. Lady in the office told me the first time that i failed due to valve cover not matching numbers i was like wtf how the hell do they know that? I talked to the tech and asked him about the valve cover and he was like wtf I told her bye-pass VALVE not valve cover lol easy fix and passed yeahhh buddy.
oh and it wasnt my bye pass valve it was the AEM BYE pass filter. Dam filter carb # didnt match the car. payed extra money just to be legal i thought turns out its the thing that failed me.

random question but why not remove the GT SPEC decal first than reapply after if you wanted?
I have an opinion questions for you guys.
What is the best af/r for our cars to make higher power safely? I'm running 10psi, VTCS delete, turbolife ic, s14 gt2560r turbo, microtech lt10s, wrx440's.
I did some tuning on the way to work this morning and put it to about 11.3 from pig rich right at 10 and it feels like it pulls better.

gonna custom paint the logo part of it white, but i wanted the plaque to be tiffany colored as well... then gonna high-temp clear coat the whole thing.
