Picked up my PSM '04 WRX from the Classic Atlanta dealer just after Christmas of '08. Come to find out the car actually used to belong to JJang12 on here. Before trading it in he returned it to stock all but the prodrive lowering springs. I ran a turbo back exhaust and stage 2 access port flash for a good while and it was a fun little car, also put in a new JL system. I hadn't really planned on doing much more to it honestly as I was happy with it. Fast forward to September 2012.. I didn't exactly have my head screwed on straight for a few months. Procrastinated on a lot of basic things. Including the simplest things like; hmm.. Taking the time to check my oil? Had a lot on my mind one day so I went for a drive on some of my favorite fun back roads. Pushed her wayyy to hard.. and boom... Had the engine out a few nights later. Well when we cracked it open it was a disaster... Discovered bearing particles everywhere and EVERYTHING was shot.. Heads and cams were even worthless. Sooo its been a min, but I really hope to have it running soon as my new JDM 6 speed came in today . BEFORE.. Mods were; -Cobb ap stage 2 -Gutted stock uppipe -Custom devorced downpipe -HKS high power cat back The night I got it out.. Ohh sooo organized......

That's going to be a nice build. That 18g is gonna feel so responsive and peaky on the hybrid setup. Really fun!
Chamber matching looks supa-niccccee. How's the clearance on the pistons, I'm considering a 4032 alloy for my build? tip, hard inlets are a bia aren't they? loosen the uppipe to the header, and the turbo to the uppipe and you can twist them ever so slightly to get the turbo to line up with the coupler a bit more. EWG has to go on after its in the car but the dump will face the tranny and the tube will follow the downpipe and arech back over the axle.
