    I GOT IT!!!

    A dream just came true...

    2004 STi and driving it here from Greenville was Mind Blowing!!!

    Here are the add-ons on the car:
    Perrin Front Mount Intercooler
    Perrin Fuel Rail
    Perrin GT35R Rotated Mount Turbo Kit (Modified Turbo)
    Perrin Stainless Uppipe with Tial Wastegate dumping to downpipe
    Perrin Stainless Downpipe
    Perrin GT35R Turbo inlet
    APS 3.5" Exhaust (with adjustable and removable silencer)
    The engine was proffesionally built with:
    CP Pistons
    Pauter Connecting Rods
    All Arp fasteners
    Perrin Air Filter
    Perrin Crank Pulley
    PE 800cc Injectors
    Walbro Fuel Pump
    Greddy Blow Off Valve
    Greddy Fuel Pressure Gauge
    Greddy Boost Gauge
    KartBoy Short Shifter
    Coilovers w/Camber Plates(Ride height,compression and rebound adjustable)
    Fidanza Flywheel
    Act clutch (Custom)
    Group N engine tranny and diff mounts
    Upgraded brake pads up front
    Recaro Front Seats

    You guys have to help me understand some of this stuff that I just bought.
    I ran a compression test on the car and it was very good.
    The gear seems a little hard to shift - but other than that - I am in HEAVEN!

    Milo, Skull, when id s a goot time/place to meet you guys and get some explenations about some of the above mods?

    I will be out of the country next week (can you imagine that? buying the car of your dreams and then flying on work for a week??? - let me know when is a suitable g2g for that

    thanks

    Tal (a happy happy Tal :) )

    thanks guys,

    the car was built buy Mead Engineering OH, and tuned by a pro tuner from CA (I will get the name).
    The guy I bought it from did a great job in research and told me all the about the process of building it.
    Sorry I couldnot make it to Silver dollar today - I'll be back next week and hopefully get to see you guys soon

    Congrats on the new car man! Definitely, try not to get tickets.

    knhtrdr, I was there at SOG saturday also around 1:30pm or a little earlier I think.

    Also, who's the skinny tall shaved head (fuzzy hair growing back) tech dude? He's working on my shifter.

    REEDIT: I would also like to meet up for a G2G since I've had my car now a week old.

    Hey man i saw a silver 04 STi with the wing still on it in front of Greenville Subaru (looked like a trade-in maybe). It had a jersey plate on the back was that the one you bought?

    Anyways, congrats man!

    Not trying to sound like a dick but if the pro tuner was Bill from ISpeed you may want to get SS to check it out to be safe. I've heard a lot of horror stories about Bill. If it was Clark then you should be fine....heard a lot of good tunes coming from him. Would probably not hurt at all to let Super Siegel just may sure it's all fine.

    My philosophy is better safe than sorry.

    Oh and congrats on a beast of a car.....I'm jealous.

    If you are talking about Zach's from MB then no as his is white and has the GT30R on it.

    Excellent buy. Let's just hope it wasn't too abused before it got to you. If it was taken care of then you've got a sweet car. Congrats.

    thanks guys!
    Being new to scene (my first moded car) I have so many embarrassing quetions that I prefer to wait till I meet some of the pro's in person :)
    I can only tell you that it feels great, and that the turbo kicks in very late...

    What do you guys think about Top Speed in Alpharetta? they are much closer to me than SOG

    thanks

    Yikes. 5k is way to high for my taste. But to each their own! If you could always buy a GT30 turbo and swap it out. Maybe swap out the housings on thisone to help it out some. Or just take it to The Seigel and let me check it out and give someadvice. I personally like dealing with Scott. Worth the drive IMHO. Very personable person in between phone calls, lol. Where do you live btw?
