Thanks :)
Thanks :)
Some may of you may know me...some not.
I have had a troubled and long history with my STI..and after 16 months of downtime and alot stress i have my car back and its finished (for now).
In the 16 months i've gone through my journey of building up the car i've met alot great people and have had alot of support....Many times i felt like setting my car on fire and pushing it off a cliff..this project has made me get gray hair and i'm only 27
It feels darn good driving around in the STI for the past two weeks...for for those that know my story i'm sure you can see why..I just wanted to thank the local Subaru BIAC/SRIC guys for all the help/kind words..and encouragement..and also for making me take the car to new levels...and last but not least the shop that finished the car and stuck it out...working many long days/nights and not giving up..Now I can close this chapter of my book.
Mike/Tommy thank you.
You guys (Biac) are the best
Enough of my Girlish ways.

The car drives real nice right now and boost onset is good...going to a bigger turbo would really take away from the streetablity IMHO.

Haha don't feel too bad man, I also have grey hairs and I don't even have gt35 yet or a built block just your baby brother the gt30r!
Definitely +3 for Mike, Tommy, and Merk. Keep the car or else Mike will set it on fire.LOL J/K None the less it's good to see you out on the street, I would just hate to pull up right next to you on a stop light.
