Also I'd LOVE more information on the rebuild after the fire!!! Extremely interested in your decisions you've made (been following your subie builds for a loooong time), as they've influenced my buying and setup decisions before.

I posted pics in the build thread but more details over on Facebook. I have a plan to help the steering with a cooler I made but we have yet to test it. We are just so busy with our client engines it was a real struggle to get the FRS back from the dead.
I basically took only a few warm up laps at Road Atlanta to heat the tires and as soon as I turned it up it didn't make it a full lap. It was the same for our STi once we pushed pasted a certain g load andwent dry sump to solve it and make it reliable for extended high g tracks.
We'll get the engine together again quickly and on the dyno for more controlled testing. If rpm oil pressure to 9k rpm is good I'll be very happy. Then I'll just make a 2 stage scavenge dry sump.
Thanks,
