yeah.. hehe thats why i did them when the engine was out!

for now the plans are to drive it as is till the summer. then im thinking if i get another daily driver then im going to probably (long term plans here) do:

- vf34 turbo
- 3" turboback
- ecutek retune
- maybe fit sti older 4 pot and 2 pot, so that rally wheels can be fitted and so the car can be lowered on smaller wheels
maybe skinnier tires onthe 17 though... i like the brembo's!

anyways
just got the car cleaned... took about 2 min to get it all nasty again since it started snowing right after... had to get the oil treatment off the doors though.

Have you seen the progress on my car?
I have had no intirror for almost a year, so to me a full drive train swap in 2 years is impressive!! LOL
Just remember when planning a project double any doller amount, and tripple any time allotment!
