Hey, welcome to the boards. Very nice car you have there. Anyone that hasn't seen it, definately should, this is JDM done right.
-
Very nice ride, saw you way back in the day at Sabin, I have the stockish lookin black wrx (only exterior mods are a slight drop, WW STI style spoiler and JDM RHD Projector headlights with some fog covers)
Love how your keepin it clean!
-
Hey i knew it had to be Dave...you probably dont know me but owell...tell jeremy to get a life and sign up on here!
-
haha of course it was me! How many ppl around here have a car like mine? I'm one of the very few RS owners that has all authentic JDMparts.
the sad thing is ppl cant tell the difference between my car and Jeremy's 04 STi...and its pretty pathetic...Ive been pulled over before for ppl reporting him screwing around!
-
lol, you live in valley city dont you though. you 2 over there are pretty much targets though.
-
yeah we live in Valley City, cops pretty much leave me alone for the most part cuz i dont screw around a whole lot...save it for the track!
also that pic u have in your signature is kick ass...that chick is unbeleivably hot! plus the STi shirt....i'd put a ring on her finger! lol
-
lol yea i saw the chick on a avatar to imprezawrxsti.com(much love) and had jim make a sig into it with the TMIC of the sti.
-
Yah i love that sig. also nice close pic of her shirt hahha....well ya im sure u get pulled over by all the 15 yr old girls that think its jeremy too haha thats gotta suck..i see that cory got a nice 7 color LED kit now.
-
i thought your car was a STi on I-29 the day of Tintmasters fargo show. but anyways, looks nice.

Yes, I am the guy w/ the White Auto from the TM car show. As for how fast I'm going now....best 1/4 mile = 13.2 (8.4 1/8 mile on that run)...best 1/8 mile 8.125 last weekend in Harvey. -

Kinda of a hybrid, Turbo XS DP, Perrin UP, TurboXS MP (Custom welded very nice worK) and Prodrive catback. 16 G turbo with stock IC for now
modded the injectors to flow heavier and a very nicely tuned UTEC.NOTE: Turned out my rings were shot, but god bless it, SUBARU IS ACTUALLY GOING TO WARRANTY IT, first time for everything

you mean the motor swap and stroker kit...gotta do some pracs studies before I can get to that point, but you can expect it within the next 2 years. In the meantime, do you know anyone that has a set of heads? The valves can be bent as long as the head itself can be salvaged. I want to have a set of heads ported & polished this winter, but I want to be w/o my car for only a minimal amount of time. My understanding, and you might know better than I, is that an ej20 ej22 or ej25 head will work equally well on the ej20 block, so I'd imagine there has to be some heads floating around in the junkyards, even in this state.

For those of you who aren't familiar w/ my plans, I plan on getting a closed deck 2.2 liter block and stroking it to 2.7 liters...then run a t66 or bigger turbo. As previously stated, I need to get some extra $$$$ before I can even think about this. Though I do have a line on a shortblock from a 22B for a reasonable price
-
sounds like a monster, i cant wait!
regarding the heads...2.5L ej25 heads are SOHC unless you go to the 98RS heads but 98RS engines have headgasket problems...plus im not certain they are aluminum like the DOHC ej20 heads. The ej25 STi heads would be and those are DOHC but harder to find and would cost more. Theres nothing wrong w/ the DOHC ej20 heads...Just send them to COBBtuning and get them ported and polished!
-
also are these heads going to be used primarily for this project?
If so why source an expensive 2.2 semi closed deck from a 22b when Cobb sells reinforced fully closed 2.5L decks?...then either use ej20 ported and polished heads...possibly check out 22b heads i have a feeling something is different about them that makes them better than 2.2L Legacy Turbo heads, or 2.5L STi heads
Just a $0.02
