However I am already scheming on a new fuel system with some Q16 to see what it will do. I cant get e85 so might as well go full race gas for some giggles.

I'm jealous

Resistance- Because if we fight we might lose, but if we don't fight we've already lost.

Ive put 20k on the car so far and Ive been evolving it as things come up, no rush.

The day I picked it up, happy day

Decided it needed a better sound so I started with a straight front pipe. Made of 304L stainless TIG welded and back purged.

Over pipe was next,

Sound Tube was annoying so rubber caps took care of that, over pipe in the background

Overnight parts from Japan, (corny reference I didnt actually pay for overnight) STI engine and trans mounts

I have a thing for big brakes so StopTech filled that need, there front 328 kit is a great upgrade.

Ordered from Japanparts

@mrk1 does that front crash bar fit flush to the inside of the bumper? if you're willing to make and sell a second one, I probably need one for my 1jz car.

These were on the car prior to the boost project so yes Ive run them for a while and I love them, strongly recommend.

Its not completely flush but very close. A little bit of wiggle room makes fitting the bumper cover easier.

As usual, your work is pornographically high-quality. One bit in particular jumped out at me, though:

Fake CF is still just that, but I sure could go for some argyle parts haha.

That twin scroll manifold expecially is just gorgeous btw. Though you said the wategates would go straight down, as in unmuffled?

Hydro graphics is certainly open to the public, I just googled a shop. The twin scroll manifold will have wastegate ports that tear drop out the sides just like the single scroll manifold and then the dump tubes will go straight down.
