Update #20:
This is where the car stands as of today (4/5/13)
Well hello everyone. This is the time most of you been waiting for. This is the resurrection of project powerplenty!!! The car was brought back to the shop this past monday where we have been brainstorming on this build. As some of you may know I ran into some mechanical issues with my SR that my pockets weren't deep enough to fix so I settled down, put my thoughts together, and purchased a Ford 302 with some tasteful modifications off of a buddy of mine. Last night we started the process of fitment so here you go! The beginning to many more updates!!!




As far as the interior goes...we are starting back at ground zero!



We cut out the firewall and tranny tunnel to push the engine as far back as possible which will bring the shifter through the stock location:



And thus...we set her in just to see the clearance and if the oil pan hits the crossmember:



I really hope you enjoy what you saw here. It has been a long road, but this road is coming to an end.

I won't count this as an updates since there was very minimal done since the last update. What we have here is the complete engine (excluding intake) dropped in the car in the position it will be in when done. It's kicked a little towards the passenger side due to us test fitting headers on the driver side. As you can see there was a lot of cutting involved which will be covered by a sheet metal tranny tunnel. The oil pan is notched and is ready to get built!

Keep at it! Gonna be a killer build.

I know how you feel about motivation. The longer something is down the harder it is to work on it.

Thanks man! I was shooting for BAM but I don't see it happening

Well it has been a long road and waiting show for sure! My fabricator has finally cleared a schedule to get the subie back in the shop and functionally finish her! We are making our way from the front to the back of the car. We started off modding the crossmember by gusseting the engine mounts and doing minor modifications for the FWD rack (PS lines hit a little bit). Once that was conquered; We welded the R180 being as which it was already out of the car, and I wanted to get it back in so I could assemble the rear end. Now we are on the final stage of new FLCA's which push the ball joint 1" forward and 1" out; Not to mention the new arms only weigh 1lb more than the aluminum sti arms. We will also be building lateral links and trailing arms in the near future! Enjoy!!!

Keep at it!

Just installed the one arm we built to see how much room we had. The test wheel is a 17x9 +15 with a 235/40 <<(I think). We were very pleased with the outcome. With a lower offset and maybe a spacer we will surely acquire some good angle. As of right now the tire hits the frame, but that is at FULL lock.

What's up everyone? Well currently my car is pushed out of the shop so my fabricator could make some quick cash building some cages. In the meantime while I'm waiting I've decided to share my finished mount kit and my finished FLCA's. These FLCA's are available for purchase ($700 raw metal or $800 with powder coat of your choice) They push the ball joint 1" out and 1"forward in comparison with the STi Aluminum Arms. They also only weigh 1-2lbs heavier than the aluminum arms. The FLCA we built uses a 95 (GC) style ball joint that you can purchase virtually anywhere. I decided to use Moog's. The FLCA them selves are made of cold rolled 1018 steel. If you're interested in purchasing please PM me here or email us at info@teamburnthemost.com

Did you guys forget about me yet? I'm sorry for the lack of updates. My fabricator had tons of projects that took precedence over my build, and now that he earned his Pro2 Formula D license he is trying to get my car done before he has to start building his new comp car. We have done a lot in these past 2 weeks. I hope this update brings my subscribers back.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE PHOTO QUALITY. I SOLD MY DSLR SO NOW I'M USING MY IPHONE 5S.

When I sold my SR swap kit the buyer was also interested in the custom arms we made that you can see in the previous update. We made some new arms that are a bit different and will allow for more clearance:





This past weekend the goal was to do all the plumbing for the new pedal setup, handbrake, power steering and clutch. I went to a local guy who is highly reputable in my area and he had all my lines done in the matter of a couple hours:





Saturday we installed the new Fidanza Flywheel and Exedy Stage 2 clutch, bolted up the T5 Trans, installed mounts, and dropped the motor in its new home (permanently):




Yesterday we started/finished the exhaust. Surprisingly there was no needed fabrication done to the JBA Firecones which made things super simple. I don't have the picture of the finished exhaust but here are some parts tac'd in the car.
