Pipe dreams and poor life choices

I figure I might as well start a thread of my own so I'm not posting weird stuff in other topics as much. I used to be into Cressidas, but I wanted something newer / more sporting to build up so after some searching I found a burned out BRZ for sale about 30 miles away from me.

Oh yeah, it's definitely the Visconti car. I pulled the vortech off and sold it already, and I'm pumped that it came with stainless vband exhaust, I'm only going to need to have like a foot of pipe fabbed up to make my downpipe meet up with the Perrin exhaust.
