Hey all, I have been away from the forums but I am getting back in. Update on the build....its still in pieces. lol.

Yup! the 2004 is still in Plain City getting worked, but I took a transfer within my company. Hoping Subie Invasion in Las Vegas on Nov. 5 is still going to happen, i cant find specific meet information, that will be the 2004 big build unveiling as long as things go as planned. And thanks! I am in love with the 2015+ platform, reminds me of my 2004
and i am def excited for the Cobb to get here, i ordered it Friday.lol. I will get some of the 2015 after I get my Cobb. Tough to get pictures of parts and car that are in another state. I will see if Brian @ BKR Autosport will send me a few pics of the 2004.

Cant wait to see pics of them. If you need help getting anything for either one of them let us know. Would love to help in anyway in your builds.
Havent kept up with this build thread like i have with the one on IWSTI. Long story short, had issues with the shop in Plain City, OH and moved the car to Mofab LLC in Parker, CO where i am now in Castle Rock. Mofab just delivered the car after final tune. We went through a lot of troubleshooting Link Engine Management and other cobwebs with fuel pumps and wiring. Took about 6 years but it is done now!! Final numbers are 697whp and 630wtq at 35psi and e85 fuel.
Literally took delivery, drove it home, then work called and sent me out of town, lol. Shop to my house is about 20 miles, and it feels really smooth. As smooth as youre going to get driving a dogbox at slow speeds/rpm. Ive never handled 700whp and its been so long since i have driven it. I am easing into the throttle right now.
First shop was a very knowledgeable guy who broke away from a larger performance shop in Lewis Center, OH as they were closing doors. He got his own small shop and carried over a few projects including mine. He couldnt keep good techs, took on too many big projects, couldnt keep in cash flow, and his business partner made big finance mistakes with the company. So big projects got put to the side for years and things started happening with parts. I finally decided it was time to move on and many parts i had paid for were not actually on the car nor some of the labor was done as he said it was. Dude was always really hard to get ahold of too. Great tech, bad luck, bad business owner/manager.
I moved to Colorado and made sure to research a reputable scooby shop as i have a very unique build. I met with the techs, tuner, and the owner before choosing Mofab LLC. They have a great customer base and are well known in the area for their motorsports. Nick their tuner is highly rated in the rocky mountain area. And the customer service has been great.
