Love the white wagon! It's my favorite color on a car. Also I hope you get your stuff soon, the reason I say this is I just read over on NASIOC a guy ordered some pistons from cosworth and it took a long time because of the "restructuring".

Did you buy the car from a guy in Mass? Looks familiar.

I did get it in mass from a fellow member . Came with a decent amount of work alrdy done but since the bottom end was in need if repair I decided to just go with the cosworth shortblock. I was able to setup a wholesale acct with vivid racing so the savings made it possible to do all the little stuff. Kinda wanted to do the reverse intake manifold but well see. Cosworth def is taking there sweet time thank god i got 12valve cummins to drive around until its ready

yummy. I had wanted a cosworth for mine. Will be interested to hear your experiences.

is this a DD, or looking to do more ?

Yes it's a dd for sure unless its terrible weather cuz don't think I will run winter tires on it since I have a truck . Looking forward to track days and autocrross . Just need to get some brake work done was looking into a set of Alcon proly 4 piston but only time will tell

WHY did you go with the oem crank?

First starters its a DD so my ultimate goal was a very reliable dd/autox/track car. I know that is a lot to ask for but I figured with a built cosworth bottom end that it would be able to take te abuse. And I don't know if u realized but its not a legacy crank it's and Sti crank which is known to handle well over 400 whp and I'm looking for around 350-375 so I didn't wanna spend the extra 3k because I alrdy splurged on the ohlins

I dont think you realized its very confusing when you put OEM crank in a LGT.com forum and expect us to know its an STI crank. Love your parts list. Should be a beast of a sleeper. Sub-mutha-effin-scribed.

high dollar build. Good for you. We'll all be interested in hearing more about this ride. Be sure to post lots of pictures.

Ignore the detractors, you have a great spec list going. Shows lots of research/planning.

Going to run E85 on the HTA68?

Nice call on the Ohlins! I'm thinking the TEINs on my wagon are due for retirement after 80K miles...The LGT is my DD too so I'd love to see your take on the Ohlins. Otherwise, I'm pretty sold on Cuscos.

BTW, if you have not read anything in the motorsports forum, I invite you to check it out.
