Oh wow. I wasn't liking the direction the car was headed with those 18s, but you just brought it right back. I love the stance, and seeing those brembos peek out from behind the wheels is fantastic.

Can't wait to see where this thing goes from here. Have you considered removing the eyelids? Or are they painted on?

What front bumper do you have on that car? The lower grill work on it does not look stock.

i didnt mind the 18"s they were free and cleared my brakes. it was the 17x8 advans or a set of 18x8.5 rota grids.... i already had tires for the 17"s tho, and they were a hell of alot cheaper.

eyelids are painted on, i like them, they are staying for now.

Josh, the bumper cover is a stock touring wagon one, no modifications at all, except the lip.

Thanks for all the compliments, i love this car, its fast, it handles awesome, and it stops hard as hell. Plus it stomps on much more expensive cars which is a ton of fun lol

And........ It's a wagon!

Great work!

Hmm....looks good! I ask because the 90-91 bumpers don't leave any room to put a front mount in, but the 92-94's looks like there's tons of room.

I think the nose is extended on the facelifted models because the headlight units protrude farther out (would have been so much easier for me to do the damn projector units had I a facelift car), so I'm guessing the rest matches them.

which head gasgets did you use with the 25d heads?

bump for my question, talking with rob and trying to figure out if our comp ratios are the same

22T gaskets.

quick question if you use 25d heads what other part you need to make it fit on a 22t?

I love how you ran your pipes for that intercooler. It's so much cleaner and nicer then going through the fender well. I really like that set up. Once I get mine. I may run them the same as you did. But very nice set up! I like it.

wow, that's insane!

Thank you guys for the compliments!

I installed my DCCDPro automatic controller last night, and tryed it out in the snow. Its pretty sweet how turning the knob will effect how far the back of the car steps out while sliding the car around a parking lot.
Im going to have fun with it this winter for sure! I am probably going to turn the boost down though. while driving on snowy roads the fast turbo spool will cause the car to break traction unpredictably, which i dont care for.

Wish we got snow....

added the oem sti dccd switches today, as well as a sti shift boot and trim ring. Also got a sti rear diffuser and modded that to fit and installed it

Need PICTURES!

ill take some tomorow. I think i have found a good deal on a nice standalone EMS, so here we go again. Ive got a 22T block with 40k on it that i will put rods and pistons in, and probably go rotated with a 30R with a Tial exhaust housing.....

As awesome as my car runs/drives with Rob's ecu, the stock maf and 550cc injectors are a roadblock to making the power the driveline of this car can handle. Ive wanted to go MAP based for a while, and i think the time is coming sooner then later.

My biggest concern is keeping the fast and hard hitting spool time. full boost by 3.5-4k MAX. A friend of mine had a built talon that made 400whp with a 30R and the boost came on so fast and hard it would break all 4 tires loose. Im looking for about the same power, with the quick spool.

I also have a set of 96 HLA heads, which have huge ports compared to the 98 25D heads i have now.

So, Stay tuned for a 400awhp 11 second wagon in the near future.

Looking forward to seeing this. Now you are going to have two monsters.




Also, sell me your old setup .

Hydra Nemesis 2.6 aquired, shopping for a GT3076R next.

you're mad!

Keep on going man!

Your wagon is the best example of a 1st gen I've found yet.

makes me wish i had a garage and some more funds.

enjoying the build

AWESOME!

wow!

We have really similar builds, sweetness!

I want your hood+aesthetic addons / brakes. :O

Quick question. What did you use to tint the fender lights? Forgive the noobishness of the question but I wired mine to blink so no more too dark for light to get out look. Love the wagon and it still amazes me to look at how it started life to currently, the changes are enough to say you got a different car in the same color.

Hopefully he'll post his new wheel setup.
