Ed, any idea when the DW1000 will be available for 2004 STi? Also, what do you think of the ID1000 with top feed conversion kit? Can't wait to go E85!

.I've been looking at the ID conversion kit and I'm planning on getting the 2000's for my own car. It seems like a good solution overall but I haven't tried it yet personally, so I can't say for sure. With how well the 2000's have been running, I'd probably just say go with those instead of the 1000's

The customer went back to the strip yesterday even though there were heavy clouds in the sky and it was raining periodically. The track prep sucked, so he couldn't get a really clean pass. Despite that, he managed to hit a trap of 119.6mph! I believe this is the highest trap we've seen to date on an STI with a VF turbo

This is a car we built about a year ago. The customer wanted more power, so we put in some 850cc injectors and tuned it on E85. The results were great all around. We didn't have to push the tune too hard to get great power and a very nice, smooth powerband. These E85 VF cars are just soo much fun .

You think the stock STi clutch can handle that kind of torque? What kind of limit do you see the stock clutch being? I'm a bit hesitant to go E85 on my stocker w/ 55K miles...
