www.AssaulTECH.com project bugeye
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.
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

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 :/

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
