I bought this car in April of 2008. I'm just now posting a journal because I finally have enough done to my car where I feel like its worth writing (and reading) about.

I mostly use this car for daily driving. I also occasionally take it to the drag strip or through the back roads of the Bay Area. I understand most people think that's a waste of a Subaru, but Drag Racing is just the poor man's motorsport. :lol: I know those of you that rip through tires, brakes and hefty track fees probably have a lot more fun than me driving in a straight line. But after all, different strokes for different folks, right?

Here are a few pictures of how it looked after I first bought it...

As my car sits right now these are the mods:

JE Forged Pistons
Darton sleeves
Garrett GT3076R .82 with HTA wheel
Perrin rotated kit downpipe custom fabbed to fit the GR
Perrin rotated kit uppipe for EWG
Tial 44mm EWG vented to atmosphere
Perrin Equal Length Headers
Local mufflershop made CBE with Magnaflow muffler and resonator
Power Enterprise 850cc injectors
Walbro 255
Perrin GR STI FMIC
GST Motorsports modified boost tubes to fit GT30
GST Motorsports custom made blow through boost tube (Used my AMR intake for a MAF sensor for housing)
GST Motorsports custom made RCAI (real cold air intake

)
K&N filter (same one that comes with AMR's intake)
Hallman Pro RX Manual Boost Controller
Cobb AccessPort v2
Group N motor mounts
NGK one step colder plugs
ACT 6puck clutch
Perrin oil catch can
BC racing coilovers
Chargespeed front lip

I made 424whp and 411wtq on this set up.




Here it is how it sits now:

Re: vhalin's SSM 2008 STI - forged pistons, rotated GT3076R + bolt ons!

As my car awaits its piston replacement which should be done by the end of this week I recently purchased some other things to put on.

ACT 6 puck sprung clutch
Perrin catch can
BC Racing coil overs
CS replica front lip

I'll have some pics up in a bit.

Just curious - - how much did it all cost?
I couldnt tell you because I got the entire 30R kit used for free and some miscelaneous parts like the fuel pump and MBC I just had laying around. The most expensive things was the FMIC at $1300 from Perrin then the EQL headers and AP were $700 each and the injectors were $450.

sweet car man! Your car's pretty popular on Youtube too (~.^)


Your vids always get the interesting 04-07 vs 08+, STi vs Evo, and Mustsang vs STi feuds going
Hahahaha, thanks. I dare not post the vids or the nazierators will move my thread but if any of you are bored search up the user deanh8 on youtube and you can see my junk in action!

siqqqq car. Any hi-res shots of your pics in the first post? Great wallpapers there.

Also, let us know when you get the CS lip on there. I was considering that even on stock suspension, but don't know if its going to be too low around here in Chicagoland. The BCs will make the car look awesome.
