    WTB Wheels

    I’m looking for a set of wheels for an Autocross set up. I still have the 5X110 bolt pattern. I would like a wheel wide enough for a 255 tire. I’m currently running 18” wheels but think a smaller wheel would also help at Autocross

    Downsizing tires

    I’m currently running 255/40/18 up front and 275/40/18 out back. I was reading and it seems like if I ran a 255 outback I’d probably get better handling. I mainly beat the snot out of it on the street and like to launch it a lot. I also want it to do well in Autocross. I don’t want to loose the...

    Spark plugs.

    I have a stock engine with a K04 turbo on it. I put a tune in last year from someone else on the forum. It went from running around 15 pounds of boost to 22 pounds of boost. It runs fantastic and pulls hard. However, sometimes at the top of first and second gear it breaks up. It’s got me...

    LNF Turbo Heat Shield

    I have been thinking of removing the heat shield from my turbo. For no other reason other than aesthetics before I do I want to make sure I won’t regret it. Has anyone removed theirs and if so did you melt anything?

    I have a tune given to me by another goblin owner. I was able to fumble my way through getting it copied over to my car. It runs great but I’d like to have someone show me how to make adjustments and log pulls

    Autocross for newbies

    I did my first Autocross event last week and learned a lot. Starting with chalking your tires to see how they are wearing then adjusting the air pressure accordingly. Also got a lot of tips on what to bring. I thought it would be good to have a thread where people can post questions and tips.

    LNF 3 bar map sensor

    I’m getting ready to install a new pcm I got from ZZP with a tune (my pcm was tuner locked). When I pulled off the map sensors that came on the donor originally they were the Bosch 3 bar maps but the car didn’t run right. Whenever you got out of the throttle it surged through the turbo. So I...

    LNF Enging harness

    So I broke down today. Come to find out I have 20-30 bare wires and some pinched. The harness is rough in other places so instead of spending all the time fixing all the wires I think it’s would be easier to just replace entire harness. Does anyone know where I can get one?

    Rim width vs tire size.

    I’m looking at rims. I’m looking to run 275 in the rear and 245 up front. When looking it seems like I have to run at least a 9.5” rim for the 275. Is this correct? Most of the rims I’m looking at are 8”. I’m still running the 5X110 bolt pattern.
