siiiiiiiiiiiiick! good job moike! glad its ready to be back on the road again! its been a long time since I saw this beast on the road..

Now lets get that silver blitzkrg on the road next! *hint*hint*

 

OH ****....sick!! Good stuff, Mike. It's no longer round the twist.

 

awesome possom mike.
*sheds a tear*

 

damn, I saw that thing last night @ gruppe-s....lookin good Mike..can't wait to see it on the road.

 

very nice indeed. good job man, good luck with the rest of the project. how difficult is that ignition setup?

 

what is surprising to me is that the beast fired on the first go, new motor, new cpu, new wiring, new everything. That is pretty damn good if you ask me, i know my *** would have had some sort of leak, short, or some other mishap. Just a testament to your guys hard work on this project! Cheers to the moike and the gruppe s crew!

 

after all the initial setup and checking for leaks over and over again... finally ready for the break-in....

 

Mike,

First off, I'm glad to see that your car is up and running, especially on the dyno! Congrats for that! Second, I noticed in one of your first posts you mentioned that a lot of weight reduction took place for your car, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind posting up the weight reduction modifications you made.

Thanks,

Chris

 

Ahh, now this is what a real project post is supposed to be like. Keep it up.

 

very nice, so hows the low end power on the new age USDM? and if it does have enough low end, would it be better to hook up a larger turbo to it? like a fp green or vf22.

 

If you have a USDM STi motor, I would definitely suggest an FP Green. Many are doing it, and none seem to regret it!

 

dude,

looking at your car all in pieces is like looking at a beautiful lady undressing...
its hot! giving me ideas! thanks dude for the subie ****.

As Chris said the FP green seems to work very well on the STI engine, the motor in my car is a little different than the STI which is why I choose to use a different turbo for my application (GT35r).
