Small update -

Got the wheels and tires back on and this car is an absolute blast to drive. The tight responsiveness of the car is exactly what I was looking for! IRP shifter + aluminum driveshaft + trans insert + diff inserts + subframe bushings = tightest, most satisfying driveline I've driven in a street car.

SPC lower control arms are sitting under my desk, most likely to be installed tonight.

I'm having trouble getting the APR brake ducts to fit... I just havent had the time to figure out why.

I picked up some Velox front splitter endplates thatll be installed soon.

Tanabe/Revel VLS Wideband, Boost, and Oil pressure gauges should be showing up today.

I should be dropping the car off to Moto-East later this week for a retune, have the roll bar welded in, corner balance, have the fenders rolled, and a few other misc things.

Well, plans changed. Due to an issue with staffing, the car was dropped off at Dunn Fab who will be handling the fabrication, suspension work, etc, and working with Moto East on the tune revisions.

In the meantime, I made myself a nice little gauge pod using a metal server shelf.

Initial cut


Marked out the centers for the gauges


Test fit


And installed



Most likely going to have it wrapped in matching fabric to the dash pad thing, when I get to it.

Got the car back, and it's everything I wanted.

Powdwrcoated subaru wrinkle red
I did put the passenger seat back in, it was just easier to take a pic with it out.


Still need to install the brembos, decide if I'm peeling thebtirenletting off the back, or adding lettering to the front. 1 wheel is still black and the other 3 are blue.... need to decide a solid color to paint them.

Dunn Fab did a great job with everything, if you're in the nj/philly area I'd highly reccomend giving them a call for anything you may need.

I vote for champagne colored wheels to compliment the pearl white.

Did you really take the seat out to take a picture? Special...

My neighbors have a strong opinion that I need an exhaust. I'll save it for winter I guess.
