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.



another rediculous blizzard as i write this. were getting an average of 6cm/hour
or ~2.3"/ hour... and its not suposed to let off till tonight.
only reason i came to work today... subaru. lol
cant wait to go rip the hill tomorow!

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!
