This one hell of a build, are you planning any head/valve work or cams.

Keep the pics coming, hope to see her running soon, seem to have everything in place except the place of assembly. I'm sure you'll be able to find some on the board for help.

Wow that looks great! I cannot get over how good that coated manifold looks. Question for you though, just curious to know if your header is coated and heat wrapped or just heat wrapped? I cant tell from the pics.

Looks amazing, I can only hope to have my car setup like this. I want to ask but I'm not sure if you'll want to say because of the whole dont count your chickens before they hatch superstition but I'll ask anyway, what kinda numbers you hoping for/ expecting? Also are you going with an agressive or mild tune?

Unreal and props for tackling this yourself. Looks amazing! Good luck with everything.

I don't think you do this kind of thing for a "mild" tune.

I must take a moment and commend you for this work. I really respect people who take their car apart, fabricate their own parts, and try things that most shops don't (Unless its an experienced shop with lots of history). For you to do this at your HOUSE, fab this all up on your own, really respect that. Can't wait for her to run! BTW, care to share what type of fuel system you will be using, and oil system? Going to throw in Meth or Nitrious?

Well played...
I just forgot to surround mild in quotation marks like you did because what I meant was a mild tune for his setup which would most likely blow the engine to pieces in any stock sti. Sorry for the confusion.
