Its amazing how the FedEx man can turn your day around,

These are the new HKS SP coilovers, I'm told this is one of the first set in the country! Now if it wasn't winter and my car was running.

Whats in that box labeled turbo, GTX3576R

The 3576 uses the 30 compressor housing so its no larger then the t04e I have built the kit around so with just some new coolant lines this GTX35 should drop right in. The car will be fired up on the 50 trim and used to shake out the bugs.

GTX35 compared to a td04, thats a 02 WRX stock turbo.

HKS SP's installed

This thread gives me wood.

Must see new coilovers in person

Plotting points for 7,10,18,22 psi on pump

7 is really only on there because thats the waste gate spring pressure, just like to see that its still on the map even though it will only be used as a limp home and start up as needed.

That thing looks like it will make good power even at 10psi! 18psi looks really nice though.

As someone who welded their way through college, you've got more guts than I. Momma's lessons paid off! Think I'll stick to repairing farm equipment and building fences, but absolutely LOVE what you've done.

Fishing wires through the fire wall has always been something I hated doing so this time I added this designated grommet.

Love the fuse setup and mounting location for that and the vibrant block. I may have to poach the vibrant setup for my car. Here's mine so far

My 3rd brake light decided to die on me and while back, I forgot about it for a while but now I need a sticker. A local BRZ owner came by my shop with one of these on his car so he made me one.

GTX35 11 blade, so pretty

I'd love to see how that gets carved out by a CNC. Must be a really fancy machine that made this.
