Well I have been lurking here soaking up knowledge over the past two years and decided it was time to man up and document some of the installs I have done to her.
A little bit on my background for any and all who might have a slight inclination to care
I have owned a few cars in my life: 1979 datsun king cab pickup, 1998 honda civic, 1992 awd plymouth laser, 1992 twin turbo awd aws dodge stealth, 1997 nissan king cab 2wd pickup, 2005 wrx sti.
I have a plethora of knowledge on the mitsubishi 4g63 motor as I built a 2.4 liter g4cs/4g63 stroker motor on the plymouth laser, pulled an 11.8 second 1/4 mile and got kicked off the track because I had no roll cage or helmet. That was the only 1/4 mile that car saw before it became cop magnet and I sold it.
The civic I had was wicked, supercharged, loud, and a cop magnet as well. It was my first tuner car and I sold it.
The twin turbo stealth was by far a nice vehicle but I got sick of fixing it all the time. They surely were not built for longevity.
So here I am with a car I had to wait 4 years to get my hands on at the right price.
Lets get some pictures up and get this show on the road!!
March 24th 2007, I brought her home. I bought her from a local dealership that only deals with sti's, evo's and 350z's. Silverline automotive, they are on ebay and craigslist and Leo is a stand up guy. She had 18,168 miles on her when I brought her home. I met Leo at the burger king parking lot in delta park right after he picked her up from the detail shop. I drove it one block and Leo had to "phone a friend" to get a ride home after I handed him $4000 cash and a check from capital one for $15000. Hell of a deal on an STI with low mileage. She is a theft and vandalism recovery so she has a "reconstructed" title in Oregon.
