Love the "all blue" theme.

I'd like to bless you in advance for not encountering problems through your build. May the trunk monkey watch over you while you attack your car. Have fun!!

Too late lol, already ran into issues early on. But they are rather small... and plentiful >_<

I need to order a couple parts before I am able to drop in the new motor. I'm missing a few hose bits off the JDM motor. The JDM wiring harness was hacked so i had to source a wrx one to repair it.
The downpipe I recieved was the wrong one. Since it would have been a stock one I opted to source an aftermarket cat-less one.
The outside axle seals on the diff and trans look a little damaged so I'll need to replace those as well.
