    They thought it was bad, and they said they've serviced a lot of cvts. And yea I do still have my slip/studder happening if I accelerate hard, as boost builds up high, and sometimes between gears if I'm accelerating a bit faster. Kinda hoping it's still something else, maybe the torque...

    Hmm I'll see if I can get the pictures off the mechanic, he did show me. But it also still shudders changing gears and with decent acceleration.

    Little update. Just had the transmission serviced, there's metal sparkles in the old fluid. Safe to say the transmission is on its way out. So now comes the decision to either replace with another CVT, and only run the 240hp map. Or source a donor VA wrx and do the manual conversion. Been...

    Those numbers are at the hub, so a little different. 434nm for torque. Still haven't had the fluid change, it was booked in then the shop couldn't do it that day. Staying hopeful ha.

    Will the Levorg VM STI grill fits the Levorg VM4 bumper?

    Feels good. But, possibly related, I have developed a slip, or little shudder sometimes. I think something to do with the cvt. My mechanics gona be doing a transmission fluid change, try and resolve it. Could be torque converter, boost leak, or even one of the CVT solenoids. Fingers are crossed ha

    So I decided to install the white line bump steer correction kit. Seeing as I lowered it, thought it would be a good idea. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, the worst part was removing the steel sleeve/cone from the old ball joint to re-use with the new one.

    Didn't want to start a new thread, so thought I'd post my dyno results here. I'd like to see others results to compare. Modifications are - mishimoto intake - gfb hybrid bov (set to recirculate) - Cobb turbo inlet - invidia q300 turbo back exhaust

    Exactly what I asked the tuner! But it's not the case. So what you do is, hold the cancel button on the steering wheel. Then the rpm needle will move to 1, 2 or 3 depending on what map it is on. Then you use the cruise control toggle to change between 1, 2 and 3. Then press cancel again, or just...

    I tried to record the car at idle before and after the j pipe install. But no good ha. The video sounded as if it was louder before the install. Was parked in my underground carpark, and recorded from the same location for each. I'll try post something that truly represents the sound when I get...

    Got the car back today, j pipe installed, tuned and a service. The car now has 3 maps to select from. The dyno sheet shows comparison between map 1 and map 3 I believe. Exhaust is louder under acceleration, nothing crazy, and a little drone but nothing that's gonna bother me. I think if I had...
