    i finally got my car back today (2004 Impreza 2.5RS), but it's still not finished! the apexi s-afc2 i bought from overboost does not work. so i have to get another and i'm probably going to have to buy a brand new one because overboost will end up giving me too much shit to replace the s-afc2 since i ordered it 3 months ago and i don't feel like taking everything back out and repackaging the s-afc2. i don't know but everything went well the car just isn't tuned yet. some of the mods for those that don't know are..

    Cobb "spicy" camshafts
    Cobb valvesprings and titanium retainers
    Cobb cold-air intake
    Cobb equal-length header
    SPT mid-pipe
    SPT muffler
    Perrin lightweight crankshaft pulley
    ACT clutch and lightweight flywheel
    STi motor mounts
    and a lot more...

    here are some short videos i just took of the car idling and shot of the new gauges.

    i will have dynosheets as soon as the new s-afc2 arrives and gets tuned. the car feels great but i havn't got on it yet, until the cam is broke in and tuned.

    must have been pricey to get all that done?......where did you have the work done?

    knowledge performance in kennesaw. great guys. it didn't cost much because the motor had to be pulled to install the cams so the clutch and everything else was very simple with it out so i wasnt charged much for everything else.

    i havn't taken it past 3,000rpms and im not going to until its broke in and tuned. but i can really feel a difference in just that 3grand and it revs up real fast. i should be able to put a wrx to shame. :wiggle:

    2.5 is a great engine. i put over 100,000 on my 2.5GT and it pulled harder than the day i bought it. sounds awesome, congrats!
