So you have never heard of the ******* over there at GST motorsports who are running the most awesomest suburu time attack car in the nation?

Just feel like a shop could look at your pile of parts give you a quote, and make it happen for you.

I enjoy your thread though minus the bad luck you are going to have a sweet ride when it all comes together.

UPDATE: Car is just about ready. Recently bought B25 STI Heads for the Subie and currently just working on getting the car smog legal aka getting rid of the front mount and trying to pass with my gimmick turbo inlet. Hopefully I pass!! Subie is finally coming home hopefully by the end of july or my birthday! (July 27th)

I guess I should update this...Talk about a Nightmare Subie. Last I told you guys on here was the car was in NY at close friend's house where he would help me install everything. Shortly after my friend, Kevin, was in a tragic car accident that took his life. He was just 17 but the brightest kid ever and a fellow Subaru guy. He swapped his 05 impreza with a WRX engine at the age of 15 before he could even drive. (Wiring and everything himself). Very talented and gone too soon, October 25, 2013. In Dec, I took a trip to NY to collect my car from his house. Which turned out to be spending a lovely day with his family laughing and tearing up at the memories of Kevin. The Subie is now at a shop in Long Island called Tach Motor Works. As it sits now, the engine is in the car. I just ordered some sensors and tubes to finish up the car. I decided to just invest the money to get this car finished in rememberance for Kevin. His family told me that he really loved my car and he was so excited to see it done. I'm having the guys at fatlace make me a really nice sticker for him.

Sorry for the sob story just thought I'd update it. Really looking forward to the end product hahaha don't even ask me the cost of the build, I will plug my ears!
