This actually started as my own personal project and has since been adopted by AssaulTECH.
6/26/2006: I purchase the car in Hollywood, FL, a suburb of Miami.



Christmas '06: I purchase a turbo-back exhaust and uppipe and during install I discover a TurboXS uppipe
lolz at the mild steel...


Winter '07: I purchase an autometer A-pillar and boost/afr gauges as well as an AccessPort V2.




Over the next year many mods happen and lose interest in keeping up with them.

• COBB Downpipe
• STi catback
• Cryo-treated rotors
• HP+ pads
• Goodridge SS brake lines
• Exedy organic clutch
• Cusco 21mm/22mm sway bars
• Eibach pro kit springs
• then Tein S-tech springs
• then Eibach pro kit springs on KYB AGX struts
• settled on Prodrive springs with the AGX struts
• Gruppe-N strut mounts
• Gruppe-N Motor/Transmission mounts
• IHI VF30
• STi "pink" injectors
• ebay TMIC
• Prodrive EBCS
• Innovate LC-1 WBO2
• Kumho ASX 205/55R16 then Hankook 225/50R16

During that time period I also experienced what many would call a "rice phase"



Yes yes, flame all you want, I deserved it.
Obviously I ditched those mods very quickly.

Got protuned by Scott Siegel Summer of '07 and I give him a TON of cred:


Painted my wheels gold Fall of '07 and they turned out AMAZING, also blacked out my headlights:




In February '08 While I was "practicing" for rallyX, 1st gear blew... but it was worth it






Removed Transmission shortly thereafter:


Replaced it with an 05 STi trans and got a Spiider DCCD controller. Got a JDM grille and drove it up to Virginia for the greatest Subie meet I've ever been to:



Installed a meth kit and tried to tune it myself not knowing that I had terrible pre turbo exhaust leaks. Bad things happened. Motor was pulled:


and then this happened:




We're currently working out little bugs and hope to go get this bad boy tuned soon. We'll be adding a full roll cage, seats, harnesses, coilovers and a track aero package over the summer. Look for the car at south-eastern autoX/drag events and next year we're planning a full season of track events as well as a spot at SEMA.

Thanks for looking

 

dam that motor build is impressive! 35r?

 

i hope its a 2.5 its going to be hard for our 2.0 to spin that with out squeezing

no more ralley X

not that i did it more than a couple times

 

Its a heavily built 2.5+L
and yes, that is a 35R compressor housing........internals may vary : )

 

clean bugeye!


bet gettin that tranny out after playin out in the mud was fun

 

Are some of the pics still HUGE to any of you? I tried resizing them prior to posting, but I may have missed one or not saved correctly or something.

 

couple of the pics are a little bigger than others, but there not HUGE or anything lol what kinds of times are your expecting in the 1320ft? im guessing somewhere in the 10's

 

Anything close to a 10 flat would make me happy, but you just never know until we get it out there.
Oh, and I guess my computer was just saving the previous versions of the pics and displaying them, as everything is normal sized now :/

 

SWEET!!! this build is exciting

 

Well after a small issue, and a bit more machine work, an upgraded oil pump and a bunch of new timing components, she is almost ready to live again, I've just been so busy at work, and blah blah blah.

Moar pics soon

 

cant wait

 

+1...Wrx lookin great

 

very nice bugeye

 

thanks guys, I appreciate it.

I wish i had more time to finish it. I miss my baby

 

Motor is back together and will hopefully be back in the car this weekend!
