^Damn it! Well, I will eventually need the rear bumper. The other front pieces are Japanese and somewhat "rare"....Syms and L'aunsport. But before ANY of those, I still need ALL THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!:

-PE 850cc Injectors
-APS DR 725 FMIC (Black with the APS Logo on the front)
-Full-Race Headers with Black Heat Coating
-Full-Race Up-pipe with 44mm Flange with Red TiAL 44mm EWG
-APS Fuel Rail System (Don't like how the rubber Fuel line is snug under the intake manifold)
-APS 70mm CAI
-Blitz SBC-ID3 Boost Controller
-SUN Cyber Speed Voltage System (JDM Bling) (Not needed before tune)
-Koyo Radiator (Not needed before tune)
-Samco Radiator Hoses (Not needed before tune)
-ARC Thermostat (good when I go to the track, could of used it last time ) (Not needed before tune)
-Cusco Engine/Tranny Mounts (Not needed before tune)

I am getting there slowly.

you ordered the INGS from Japan.....ughhh....good luck man, they take forever to fill orders


APS rails we have in stock, as well as injectors, and I think the front mount is coming in this week, as well as radiator, samco, blitz boost controller and the SUN piece

the ARC thermo (or any low temp thermo)...honestly, I wouldn't bother, it's not going to really be of any benefit, as the stock STi one is already on the lower side of things They don't help the car run any cooler.

I will be able to start ordering parts prob after my week vacation, so July 30th........Credit cards should def be down to nothing!

[Chris05STi]

Update:

Just ordered 12 qts of the Amsoil Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil, and 4 qts of the Amsoil Severe Gear 75w90 Tranny fluid. I am going to take a sample of the motor oil and send it to BlackStone labs for a report. Begining of August, I am going to order up the APS Fuel Rails and APS 70mm CAI. After that, any other supporting mods on my list to get the SZ55 installed! By the end of August I should be getting the Ings goodies. I still have some more exterior parts to order up before I get them all painted and put on. I plan on getting them all put on at once, should be nice for once to have a totally clean body!

The turbo upgrade race has begun. heehehheee

[iTSTi]

Did you already order the PEs?! NO NEED:P

[Chris05STi]

^ Nopes...why you have new ones? How mucha?!?

[Chris05STi]

Report from BlackStone Labs:

CHRIS: Copper and silicon both read above average in the first sample from your Subaru. Silicon may show the need for a fresh air filter. Airborne dirt (silicon) is very abrasive and likely caused the high wear we found. Copper shows excess wear at a brass/bronze part, like bushing or bearings. Fuel at a trace level isn't a problem and is likely from city driving/idling. No coolant or moisture was found. The excess wear may be related to the track day you mentioned but is more likely from the silicon. Your 3,000 mile oil changes are a good idea considering your driving habits.

[BillFromTR]

what was anaylzed?

[Chris05STi]

My engine oil. This was the oil sample from my track day at Limerock + city/hwy driving.

[JJ18Sniper]

How did they rate the Amsoil?

[EMAGDNIM]

I just finished reading all 59 pages (I should be in bed) and I have to say that your build so far is amazing...

[Chris05STi]

John - I am guessing they are liking it, it seems that the reason why those values were high was really because of the track day at Limerock. Now, Steve had his oil sample taken from his track day at Limerock, and BlackStone Labs loved the way the results came out, and said he had a great engine. With mine, I overheated the car a couple of times due to an air lock in the cooling system (Had a huge air bubble, which caused the overheating), I believe that is what cause the "excessive" wear they talked about. So far, Amsoil is doing its job!

EMAGDNIM - Yah, tons of pages of BS! I try really hard to build this car, its going to slow down a bit for the upcoming months, since I am basically saving to move out and go into a condo/apartment with my best friend. After that settles down with all the wonderful bills of living on your own, I will jump back into the game and get the parts I need for the turbo build. For now, I def have the Ings+1 Front bumper and side skirts coming in, and def plan on getting them painted and installed in the upcoming months. I am also most def going to do an alignment and corner balancing by next week or so...cough cough next friday ! Modding game is a tought/expensive path, but its tons of freaking fun!

[Chris05STi]

Update:

Well, it seems that since I am going to eventually move out, the mods will slow down . Hopefully I can squeeze a couple here or there, but its basically just saving and by the end of this month 0 Credit Card bills!

I did however pant on the JDM TGV's with the VHT Wrinkle Red (Rated at 350 Degrees). It came out soooooo nice. I am going to re-paint my yellow caps that are currently that bright red in my engine bay. Now its just thinking of the small mods I can do to the car that won't cost much...anyone have any suggestions?!?!?!?

Also, the Ings+1 Front Bumper and side skirts are coming in 3-4 weeks. Then they are getting painted and put on. Thats about it....wish I could pull the trigger on the Full-Race Headers or something to get my turbo in...eventually eventually. Gotta move out first!
