Here you go again with the ricer ****. This is a cool build. I like the color of the car. And I wondered why you painted the intake red with the gold motor.

Every time I see a thread with your name it's just an automatic subscription, that's creativity.

With the wiring are you going to try and make it work with the stock accessories? What about the HVAC setup and all of that fun stuff? I'd assume at least a heater core.

The WRX. It is a bad *** car in itself. This car would make for a killer drifting car being rwd.

I think it would be even more cool if it were awd.
Maybe get a drive train out of a TB SS or something. It would be tuff to do but I know you would figure it out.

GL, I will be subscibing.

This is looking good! Coming along fast too...

Good idea on the oval tubing, looks like that bought you the room to make your CAI without being right up against the rad support. Nice work!
