-added wrx map light, compass/dimmer rear view mirror (best upgrade yet!!! ;P )

Car is going back in the shop Monday to get my 2.0 replaced with a STI short block (thanks to Sparta).:clap:
And a bigger turbo or 280 BC cams (haven't decided yet).

 

Damn man almost an RSTI!

 

The crank and rods in the block from Sparta came from me!

 

Go with the bigger turbo

 

sweet! love the car dude!

 

Gimme the shop truck so I can move! Looking good buddy...

 

The kid I sold my longblock to got it tuned today and sent me this:



He is on stock injectors, stock turbo, catless and Injen SRI. Not too bad.

 

I love the car man now all you need to do is go wingless....

 

Cant wait to see what yours does on my block, gitrdone already

 

It is wingless now.

 

I'd skip the BC 280 cams. They suck and are not really 280. More like 262. They have more duration but no more lift. You need both to get really good cams.....like GSC or Kelfords.

But nice swap and sharp looking car there.

 

Yeah I wish I had done more research before I bought my cams. It was an impulse buy when I was looking because a vendor sold them to me below cost to get rid of them.

 

this is turning out nicely.

 

I have some cams for sale...

 

Buy those ^

 

Car's almost there :wiggle:


Parts update
KARTBOY Short shifter
Forced Performance TDO6 20G
DW Modded 960cc inj
ACT STI clutch
IxizICE-Intake cooling extension
Ixiz Boost Sel
Ixiz Fuel rails
Bosal Divorced DP
Bosal straight race pipe

 

I would pass on the BC cams....they suck. GSC or Kelfords if you wanna go that route. The ones Breel has should work great.

 

I think he did pass on the Cams and got the bigger turbo instead

 

I was reading on my phone and didn't see that was an old quote......doh!

 

Completed Rear Brembo conversion yesterday and plugged STI cams (decided to stick with the STI cams). Car's really almost there.

 

After months in "hybridnation" she has finally woke up. Hope to have it done this weekend.

 

Very nice.

 

Good stuff! Want to see pictures!

 

Saw the car in person other day, clean car. Don't even paint the trunk, looks good. Looks like flat black CF.

 

Pics or it DIDN'T happen. Lulz

 

Sorry bout the bad pics...but happenin fo' sho doughboy :rofl:

 

Those wheels look familiar.

 

Hahah. Freaking sweet man.
I wish I could've gotten my hands on at least an Impreza bug eye. Would've loved it to death.
But I now have the Mazda3, and am NOT disappoint. Lol Fun little car.

 

Nice Patrick. I hope you enjoy it!

 

^Thanks guys.

 

Looks good Patrick....

 

Had to switch out the 20G (due to a wastgate flapper/actuator issue) with a VF43 and the modded DW950cc to a DW750cc...Final numbers 314/304. Gonna have some fun with this setup awhile before I put the 20g and 950cc back on.

 

awwww snap patty mayonnaise. glad to see it not on a lift!

 

Zach pick up your stuff from my house before you see it on craigslist

 

ROFL Gimme! I'll take whatever it is. Lulz
