There's a difference between old and aged... You want aged wine, not old wine lol, so consider yourself "aged" Im waiting to upload the videos of it ripping around in the streets, but I have to bring my build thread current. Speaking of which, what wideband did you end up using?

I used the AEM failsafe; 2 outputs on one gauge plus it datalogs and is programmable with a laptop.

So somewhere along the way, she left me stranded. Tried to turn her over and all I heard was a single click. Checked all my connections, even tried a jump start. She wasn't having it. That's when u knew it was the damn starter since she was the original.

Called for a tow and waited over 3 hours!! Anyways, the tow truck driver tries to use the momentum from rolling of the bed to get the truck into my driveway. He scrape's and scratched something under the truck off the concrete.

So to confirm it the starter, I get the Jack out and lift up the vehicle and try banging on it while someone starts it. No dice, still won't fire. Upon closer inspection, I see this

Not only is the starter dead, but the terminals are rusted like hell. So it took me 4 hours to maneuver the damn starter down just to get to the terminals. Took about an hour to go back in. F1D270A8-534E-428D-98E4-54230258375F.jpeg

Lost 3rd and overdrive. Still have 1st and second
Damn. I blew my level 3 Performabuilt last Winter. They rebuilt it for free but tried to blame it on crank end play, which was within spec. IDK why it exploded, I just launched full throttle from a dead stop. Beat the STi but when it hit second that’s all she wrote.
