I've come to the conclusion that my engine breaths to well for the OEM computer to compensate for. I've actually saw a dyno of a guy loosing power with a reputable header due to this.

The Fedex guy gave me this earlier today
This should help with my oversteer and rubbing issues!
I have 4 days off in a row next week. The first day I'll be at a family reunion, the next day I plan on installing the EMS finally. Then I have to learn the software/street tune.

It already takes corners faster than I want to on the street.I just looked at the instructions for the first time. The car in the pictures is using the same coilovers as me lol. I wonder if it was Maxrev's car in the pictures. I know he tested the coilovers and the sway bars. His reviews are what made me go this route.

going to be awesome 
i must be mistaken then, i thought they had made an original version that was non adjustable and then the recent version was the adjustable, but maybe that was a different brand, nonetheless great job so far. i use to have the 4 point t1r strut bar setup, i didnt think it did much since i added it the same time i did all my other suspension upgrades, but when i swapped it out for my spoon bar to match my theme, it was a big difference, you should look into one, or a similar brand but in that style. it would compliment very nicely with the setup you got going.

hardtop(really shouldn't put this off any longer as well)
front lip, side diffusers, rear diffuser, exhaust cap
I drove up HWY 47 today(it's right outside of Clatskanie). All I have to say is, this set-up is scary. It's not really the suspensions fault but rather the horrible roads. I can't fully stretch her legs until I get her on a track

Well after a lot of work, the AEM EMS is in and running. A lot of stuff had to be change just to get the motor to fire over, then even more to get it to even idle. While I was dealing with that, I noticed some compensations tables that had no values in them(no joke). Anyways, she idles perfectly at 900 RPM's, around stoich now. The low load A/F is dialed in good and the mid A/F loads are dialed in decent. I'll hit it up harder tomorrow before work. I've already made good progress considering all of the BS I had to fix and how rich the map is. Plus I'm trying to look at logs in an s2k; not fun.

To give you an idea on how rich the maps were. I've taken out over 25% fuel during WOT(non-vtec).
