    Those are horrible welds and there is no way that thing is worth 12Gs.

    Ill do it myself.

    Exactly, I'm pretty much never happy with anything, I always want to rebuild everything.

    IF...the 2.5 sells then I will either do a 2.35 or a 2.65.

    I really want to do a 2.65 with 10.5 to 1 and a hydra.

    We will see shortly.

    Do you know if the rear brembo's have the clearance issues that the fronts have? I know the fronts do not fit but what about the rears?

    the rears require 'massaging' to fit to WRX. Plus you'd need some 04 spec rotors...which i have 2 rear sets of that I found in the garage...i tripped over them.

    Yeah I'm pretty excited about it. I thought about it right when I got the car but I kind of dismissed it as being to expensive etc.....

    Well since I just sold the motor and turbo setup that were on the car it looks quite possible.

    I'm going to try and do a really through Journal about the build. I think its a good option for the Road Race Guys that want 600hp and quick spool.

    The Header and Swap specific parts will be available from BG as soon as I get done R&Ding it.

    No its cool. Ill try and sit down and do a full write up of what the plan is tonight.

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to be using a BorgWarner Turbo so that should be interesting.

    Dang I can't view the first page and I only have Inet access at work. I get this...

    This page will not be displayed because it contains prohibited words or it has exceeded its tolerance of questionable words.

    Can someone please be kind and clean up the language some for those of us with work blocks?
