Well found out why the star specs got eaten up...toe was all screwed up in front. Everything feels awesome now! Time to let er rip!
After my alignment was done the car stopped at MAP for them to do my downpipe gasket as I had an oem one and exhaust was leaking between the exhaust stream and O2 dump below wastegate pressure and it was loud all the time. After they fixed a cross threaded bolt that was all good to go, yay! They also fixed my heatshield for me quick. I did screw it up, was using the wrong bolt hole, so they moved it over and bam, it fit
Some bad news, they found my oil leak...its coming from the timing cover
There is RTV there from the motor assembly but it looks like it still leaked through. Mitsu has a TSB for this but I have already had them fix it once so that ain't happening. For now I am just going to watch it, but essentially the head has to come off to fix this leak...FML. MAP was like, anything that we can do to the head to make it worth while? I said not really, its pretty much all done up. The only thing I could think of was put the new timing chain in there so that will wait. Hopefully it stays within reason for a few months as its like a 14 hours (book time) job.
