Seriously this kind of stuff is what gets me going when it comes to working on my car. Your car is Wicked. Amazing work. Serious Inspiration.

^ lol Grazie tanto. thanks guys for all the complements.

so just a update, i was changing valve seals on my ej20k heads and i checked the valve guides and they need replacing also. what i have planed for them, is a full rebuild stock specs with some kelford high lift cams.

the STI 6mt is getting new selecter forks from subaru, aftermarket is priced insane for how easy it is to open and work on a 6mt.

the new heads i am useing are ej20k sti spec, these heads oem come with sodium filled valves, shim under bucket with little stiffer spring.

well my new suspension has arrived, there priced right and they use a inverted strut which i love. i am going to get corner balanced and aliment when i put them in, it should be good for the track/street car.

[quote="NICO"]well i finally found a set of 2004 BBS rims, 17x7.5 5x100 et53 forged. i started paintting them rim on the left is ready to piant and right side rim is done.

tires i have 215/45/17 P Zero Nero's. i might go down in size becuse under hard corners i get a little rubbing on the rear wheel well's.

Beautiful car! New coilovers always look so damn good. They look very similar to my Tein Type HT coilovers actually and mine also rear camber plates which is a must in my opinion unless you have adjustable lateral links. I just finally read up on how to adjust the dampers on mine. Didn't want to mess with them until I knew how they worked. Turned them from all the way soft to right in the middle which is where the manual says to start with and wow what a difference that made! I was really getting tired of the amount of oscillating that they had. It was annoying as hell. Felt like there were no dampers! Hit a bump and it bounced way too many times. Now it feels much more solid.

Wish my car was as clean as yours and had some of the parts you have like a 6MT. :)

its a ej22t block wiseco pistons, carillo rods, acl bearings, heads are ej20k sti stock. aps sr56 turbo, aps 725 fmic and 3.5 ex, 4 2 1 headers. 850cc injectors should go bigger i was told, water meth kit, autronic ecu.

soon ill have more power more boost and another franz tune coming. franz also told me if i put one of those rotated 30r turbos i would hit 450 to 500 no problem. but i dont want to swap everything just yet, we are going to see what i can do with what i got for now.

i just add this billet throttle body new style on old school in take, 70mm one. ps it works better on the ej20k intake manifold after my buddy did the mod on his new style intake manifold when porting. it might even work better for the ej20g intake but i dont have one to port.

cant wait for more boost and a new tune more egressive tune.
