Just gonna give a good run down of my car, let me know of what you all think.
I cant call it a "build thread" as most of it was done prior to me purchasing the vehicle... But still Ive invested a lot of time and money into what I call "my build."
So I recently purchased the car back in February of this year. The car had aprox 116k miles on the chassis with a fresh build on the motor racking in roughly 20k miles.
I bought it like this...
koyo radiator
cp pistons
manley rods
acl bearings
ported/polished heads with supertech guides and stem seals
cobb up-pipe, down pipe
custom supertrapp muffled dump tube
fp green 8cm 3in inlet
Five-0 120cc injectors
Parallel fuel rail mod
perrin "new" version inlet
gtspec header with an ultimate racing up pipe
act hdss clutch with sprung 6 puck disc
hks hi power 3" exhaust (painted black)
turboxs fmic
perrin ebcs and/or hallman MBC
tgv delete and phenolic spacers
P and L large maf
bosch 044 inline fuel pump
FuelLab FPR
As for the suspension its pretty basic
h&r coil vers with PDE tophats
whiteline sways
all new bushings (kartboy)
ect.
She handles like a dream on some fat tires; 295/30/18
Car came with the all black interior and two bride seats with defi gauges.
(I have had to replace the exhaust temp gauge as it went out)
Now since I brought her home its been a bit of a rough ride, and this is why I still consider it "my build"
Elevation change threw off the tune and had the car running really rich because of the speed density.
In this event it pretty much destroyed my spark plugs and plugged the injectors (and the injectors weren't all that great to begin with)
so I replaced a number of things;
ID1000 top feed injectors with new ID fuel rails, with all new custom fuel lines done by a master Subaru tech that's local.
I also had him slap on a new Electronic boost solenoid
Along with an all around check of the overall wellness of the car; compression ect.
Since I drove the car home from pick up it ruined the nice Toyo R888 tires. So I had to purchase a new set of tires, I just went with some Sumitomo HTR Z III's
I also replaced the front axles because of a torn cv boot, along with a bad tie rod.
Sent in the turbo to Forced Performance to be inspected.
and replaced the air filter on the cold air intake.
And a few personal "visual" modifications. (Rear diffuser, bumper garnish, engine dress up)
After all of this and 2 "pro" tunes later. I started having an issue with the FP Green turbo. And currently am trouble shooting the turbo.
After I get the turbo fixed under any warrenty. or end up having to replace it, with a Blouche Dom5, I am expecting to go emission un-friendly exhaust
, and then call it good for a while. (Invidia is my top choice as of now)
Here is a few couple of shots I had on hand, Ill post more detailed pictures of the bay and such when I get off work. I just decided to do this cause im beyond bored at work. You can also view the ones in my "intrudction thread" http://www.igotasti.com/vBforum/showthread.php?5549-Introduction
