    my car is throwing a check engine, so i hooked up my AP, and it says code P0031? any idea what this is? on the cobb website, they say that it can show up from a low octane gas, and possibly the engine is misfiring. i guess it would be a good idea not to push it right now.

    I would check the wires from your O2 sensor to make sure they didnt get melted or anything.

    I had this before and had to get the sensor replaced...

    any idea what causes this? is the O2 sensor simply old? or is it because i`m catless?

    If it is the front one it would have nothting to do with you being catless. Maybe just old.

    I'm guessing it can go whenever for no apparent reason...pretty sure that's what they told me

    sensors fail all the time. you know you get a discount at SoG off parts, right?

    I'm not sure which sensor you would need, either WRX or STi, since you have a swap done...

    yes sir... and now the leak from where the DP and the midpipe meets is REALLY bad... i dunno if that is the one that is causing the sound, but my car sounds like a helicopter... but it's kind of weird because it will only sounds like that when i`m traveling at over 40+ mph.. it wont do it when i`m just standing still and reving it.. maybe it is something else, and if it is, i`m going to be pissed

    i hate the fact that my car is soo old.. it cost more to maintain than to mod...and it doesnt help when you have NO money..
