Newbie123 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Picked up a rolling chassis in October 2020, and have been working on it slowly since then. Started by adding sti Brembos all around, as well as a 2005 sti 6mt with matching R180. Went with a driveshaft shop 1 piece carbon fiber driveshaft, as well as their 1000hp rear axles. Added some aluminum front control arms, and Whiteline sway bars etc. Then I made the decision to complicate things and instead of a ej25 with plenty of off the shelf aftermarket options, I opted for a jdm ez30r. I began designing an equal length header, which took way longer to come up with a design than it should have. Picked up a gtx3584rs ii Built the primaries out of 321ss 1.5”sch 10 pipe. Picked up a haltech elite 2500 and premium harness More to come …. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie123 Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Please don't change the wheels, or wash the car ever. I actually pushed the car out of the garage and washed it [emoji23] and I put my old enkei RSM wheels on it for now.

m sprank Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Did we ever meet? I lived in Temecula/Murrieta for many years. I had plans to swap a twin turbo EZ30R into my 08 SpecB. John from Outfront had been testing a set up in his buggy and I planned on using a similar set up in the car. Good luck with the project. Looks like a lot of fun.

Newbie123 Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Going to be using the new turbosmart electronic wastegate, and also got the material for the downpipe. I’m hoping to have some time within the next couple weeks to finalize the exhaust completely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
