Very nice. That car is seriously clean.

If looking at exterior mods...I'd say tint. That is all the outside appears to need.

Do you have a FMIC? It doesn't look like it in the pics. Would be worried about the intercooler (if still a top mount) drawing in nothing but hot air from under the hood since there is no intake scoop.

I will go with bigger front mount or top mount IC. If you already have it, then go with Ecutek or any other EM instead of S-AFC even yours is tuned already because 264hp and 252tq since little low for PE1820 with 650cc inj.

Intercooler has been put on since these pix were taken, forgot to mention in mods list...
i am thinkin Ecutek, seems the most simple setup for the best bang for the buck...

yeah, i had to drive a short period of time w/ the scoopless hood, kinda scary, but i put those dyno numbers down with a scooped hood and running stock TMIC, i am hoping to get much more power soon

I think it'd look even better with an 02 STI grill! Nice job so far.

Yeah those numbers seem low, varying dynos aside.

a VF34 would be stepping back

A VF22 or VF34 should be able to do around 280-300WHP, depending on what gas is being used and supporting mods. I've seen 330WHP with a 22 on race gas. The 1820 should be putting out 300+WHP; again depending on dyno, gas, and supporting mods.

LNR carbon fiber lip and some tints would set your car off.

Wow...get a scooped hood ASAP or an FMIC right now.

You're pretty ****ed without much air going to your IC.
