Is your car manual or auto?
Did you put the car in dyno mode and clear the transmission adaptation (if auto)?

So you got new wheels?
Whats up with the giant sticker on the front windshield?
That can't be legal.
Man, that mbjunkie site looks like it was designed by said junkies.
I prefer the simple and easier to read look we got right here.

Also, i got in touch with jermey from OE tuning and we were able to do a tune today (with dyno mode) but with some problems at the end. here is the result
(Green = base run(since evosports), Red = OE remap, Purple = 20% fuel increase test run)
the guys at mbworks are impressed with the result saying that its putting down more power than most coupe that has came to their shop.
but im hoping to solve the fuel cut off issue so at 5.3k to red line 6.3k it will continue making power to reach 200.
the problem we have is that the fuel cuts off around 5.3k rpm and even when he up the air/fuel ration by 20% all around it still lean out at 5.3krmp. so we are now looking at spark plugs, fuel injectors, and fuel pump. suggestions?
Ohh and Jenkins, i couldnt locate the post about camber adjustment for the front. could you guys tell me how this is done? i want to get my car corner balance and aligned after fixing my rubbing situation.
PS: mbjunkies meet on this saturday!!!will you guys be there?? I will ^_^

Won't begin to approach his Rose Bowl thing though.
190HP at the wheels in an auto isn't too bad.
That means you're pushing 230-240 ish at the crank.

Is THIS your car?
I love RED!!!
I love RED!!!
my car is auto. for that dyno run they didnt put it in dyno mode. I read through the thread a bit but not sure if performing a throttle + transmission adaptation reset will effect driving and dyno number. could you please clarify and explain more?

So for front camber. You can get the new camber bolts from the dealer that offer a bit more adjustment, about .3 adjustment.. Or you can also get some ingalls or sbc bolts and replace the bolt on the mcPerson strut bolt and that gives you about 2 degrees adjustment here and there

And then find an alignment place that will adjust them.
Let me know when you do, I have those bolts but no one ever touches them,
even when I make some noise.

You can hit up "the shop" in San Bruno if your will to drive that far. You can call them before going to confirm if you want.
You can also use the stuck strut bolts.. Loosen them.. And push or pull the hub/knuckle assembly forward or back after loosening the three bolts. And have someone hold it while someone tightens the bolts. Phi just did it. Member name phister

How has everyOne been? Most of the people that follow this thread already know most of my updates because of mbjunkies except tommy and Todd lol. So I've pretty much stances my coupe on its new rims.. Looks pretty fly for the white guy that I am lol. Front is sitting on 18x8.5 (215/40) wheels with offset totaling at 18 and rear is sitting on 18x8.5 (225/35) sitting at 10 offset (might eventually get it down to 5) fenders have been rolled. The current suspension set up will be Tein coilover struts with swift 12k springs in the back and 10k springs in the front. I have covered my front A pillars in Suede(fake of course) and will hopefully be removing the headliner soon and re-spraying it with black trim paint.
Also waiting for my final supplies for my short ram intake set up. Got the pipe, got the filter , just waiting for the couplers and the heat shield.
I did something similar to what a member has done in the past, but Im not just going to remove the entire air box an put a filter -.-
I will be putting a 15-18 inch pipe ( wrapped in heat wrap), and the filter will be going we're the current air flow comes through the hole so the air will be shooting straight into the filter, and will be putting a heat shield on the engine side of the filter for the obvious reason. If anything isn't understandable I will try to remember to post a picture of my set up next week when I get the couplers and stuff

Follow me on instagram @eurofitted I got a bunch of stuff today. I'll get the intake in once I get the couplers... I feel hella anxious.. My intake is all set up laying in my trunk but I can't attach it because I don't have the couplers or heat shield... Well..... eBay says this Friday.. They better be right. Other wise I'll post some pics of my longggg day taking apart my interior.. My only word of advice... Do not re-paint the headliner.. Taking it off was such a hassle... BUT... It looks soooo awesome haha. So nice in person. Pey diddy, you'll see at the next meet.

Lowered the car more this morning... This is a pic before it settled lol, one finger clearance at that point.
Hardest part was actually pulling the headliner out all the way, and there is a cord that runs all the way back that won't let you fully remove the headliner past the rear of the car.. >.< so much hassle and bending was afraid I'd mess it all up before I even started painting.
Oh and putting the C pillars back was definitely what I spent most of the time on -,-
Hated the red, so I repainted it blue.. Feeling much better.. Want to reprint the rest black... Maybe next time, after I ask someone if it's safe to unbolt the intake manifold for a few hours O.o lol
Took everything apart.. And if you didn't already know, I also painted the trunk trim black a while ago lol
