well, felt like updating my ****box posts since I love bad cars.
Since this post, BRZ wheels installed, all windows tinted, all new brakes with hawk HPS pads, new LF caliper. few months ago, A/C guy backed into my cah. of course he hits my ****ing subaru and not my firebird. my firebird needs a rear bumper! https://i.imgur.com/l23GLA1h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1pP1Ibsh.jpg Off to Chris' Auto Body. They fixed it and installed my spoiler for me! rear tailgate painted, new rear bumper... Here is how it is now. https://i.imgur.com/jkMiwEHh.jpg Also, trying out some GC8 WRX front seats. sweet tiger print brah! https://i.imgur.com/F5qLyiSh.jpg On the table is a possible turbo/5speed swap on the cheap. engine aint doing so well even with the snake earl in it. |
How about a LS1 transplant ? You might gain some respect back. Anyways, nice job.

Here's an update for you bitches. Winter car project over winter...
Loaded it up to get it ready to change literally everything. https://i.imgur.com/Y5dMbQul.jpg Dropped everything off, went to drive back home and... rip https://i.imgur.com/XKICTlRl.png Just shut off, no noise. CEL came on for a second before it stalled, thinking Crank sensor but didn't bother to investigate. Pump primes. It knew it was time... Had to drop off the last piece of the puzzle: https://i.imgur.com/LGwItmGl.png https://i.imgur.com/VTzmN9ul.jpg Tearing it down to replace every seal. https://i.imgur.com/Q8g2YFml.png Compression test 145-150-150-150 Teardown begins https://i.imgur.com/92GsEuul.png https://i.imgur.com/rDs1UPEl.png Thanks Mr. UPS man! https://i.imgur.com/owmbPG0l.png https://i.imgur.com/n1HsVazl.png (yes, im replacing the filter) Since I am going WRX 4 pot brakes in the future, I wanted to stick with 16" wheels for better everything in the winter. So I got some cheap forester XT wheels and got some new skins on them. https://i.imgur.com/gMqRNAol.png https://i.imgur.com/SSMPNu4l.png The blizzaks I had on my steelies are now on my stock ford focus wheels for my focus. Pile of parts in the corner, still waiting for some parts to come in. Going to be fun |
Slow and steady...
Some fun with panorama shots https://i.imgur.com/OfaIkAFl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7SJ8lLfl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DJwOedWl.jpg plop https://i.imgur.com/edeblK5l.jpg Like playing a crane game https://i.imgur.com/GG7Lleol.jpg move to the other side of the shop https://i.imgur.com/RDbw0z7l.jpg prepping bay for paints https://i.imgur.com/g7AV2u7l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/VB2RIThl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1LTp7Ebl.jpg rad support straightened out. might re attach bumper support this time. https://i.imgur.com/E7yEfeDl.jpg debating on doing ARP studs and head gaskets. Currently cleaning up the block! Also took some old parts off. exhaust going to someone local. MSD coil/intake tube going to a 2nd gen legacy facebook friend. stock TD04 turbo probably scrap and TGVs (Subaru ******** throttle things) going to the guy I bought the TGV deletes from https://i.imgur.com/DH7Exjxl.jpg |
Took apart the engine to do ARP studs and head gaskets and found scoring on the cylinder walls. Going to do an AVCS EJ205 (but don't enable AVCS so i can use USDM ECU, etc.) longblock.

Whiteline big rear sway bar https://i.imgur.com/IdySXKBl.jpg picked up some WRX STI front lower A arms and a WRX whiteline front swaybar. https://i.imgur.com/Dtwx5xxl.jpg Found a possible new set of summer wheels. They are from a 2011-2014 WRX. 17x8 and the offset is good. should fit nice without rolling fenders https://i.imgur.com/Se6IoMhl.jpg The fun begins! https://i.imgur.com/EIw4C1xl.jpg went a little ham on the exhaust coating and powder coating. Smacking myself for not trying to find a good Equal Length Header to run. https://i.imgur.com/rPT0wcZl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nLKrVwKl.jpg DP bung for a/f sensor https://i.imgur.com/L53QjWKl.jpg Bay nice and fresh https://i.imgur.com/6ZMybbml.jpg Found a scoop extender and a Zerosports Radiator Shroud (running joke in the 2nd gen community to have one) https://i.imgur.com/SZbNFf7l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/La1JXwYl.jpg Also got a zerosports hood shroud (for top mount intercooler, since our NA cars, the scoop is blocked off) https://i.imgur.com/vpGbfgql.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AwZGqkPl.jpg I think I went overboard lol. I just finally wanted a fun, different daily. |
Congratulations. I hate everything.
