Pretty much identical to yours, I 'borrowed' the idea from the original runduce evo. only difference is my inlet size is the complete size of the high beam

BTW, great choice in parts!

its functional for cooling at the track, and besides how often do you need to use your high beams?


edit: is that a LV tool bag i see there, I bow down to your baller status

[chaos311clarity]

yeah but the ATP uses an actual GT30 compressor cover vs. the GT52 which uses an 18G comp cover.

That and the ATP is a ball bearing turbo.

So it has been a while. I have been super busy at work, getting the house and baby's room ready (May is coming quick!) and trying to wrench on the car when I can. I changed a lot. Here is what I have installed on the car so far:
ATP stock mount GT3071 turbo
Cusco header (heat wrapped)
TGV deletes
GrimmSpeed up-pipe (coated)
GrimmSpeed 8mm phenolic spacers
APS turbo inlet
Deatschwerks 850cc inj.
Walbro 355lph fuel pump
SSAC FMIC
Koyo race radiator

I still have to install:
Exedy twin disk clutch
HKS SSQV recirc. valve
Apex'i AVC-R II boost controller
new OEM belts
Should have no problem getting ready for Tim Bailey's tune date mid-March.

I also sold my Time Attacks but am slowly turning this thing into a full time track car. My new tires showed up today . 255/40/17 Toyo Proxes R888 that will be going on 17x9.5 Enkei NT03+M tomorrow afternoon (as long as the wheels show up tomorrow). Will post pics as soon as I get a chance and hopefully some good #'s too. It has taken way too long but has been fun installing everything with a few friends.

Wow, that is now quite the mod list. I love your car and it is one of the cars that is inspiring me to continue dumping money into my STi.

You said that you are a Cusco whore and I am on that same bandwagon as well. I will be getting a Cusco hood most likely next week. Yay! Now sell me your wing and get the APR, it will be better for the track.

When are you getting tuned? Mid-March? That is kinda far away. No track days until then?

[05cgm]

Nice! I have found an 02-03 Cusco hood but never an 04-05. Pick that up quick! Any pics? I should be getting tuned by mid-March. All depends on Tim's schedule. As for track days, I am most likely done until after the baby arrives. Last track day I was at Buttonwillow and got a call that the wife was on the way to the hospital. No good. She is fine but that was enough for me to realize I need to be close to home at this time.

Very impressive list of mods. Can't wait to see it/hear the numbers. You're installing all of this stuff yourself that takes some serious skill.

Also, congrats on the new family member!

[05cgm]

Thanks AMG. Can't wait for the new racer to arrive. As for the install, everything has been done in the garage but I could not have done it without a few of my close friends in the Subaru community. Also the guys at YimiSport Tuning in Santa Clarita helped me tremendously with input.

Man, the hood that I thought was the Cusco hood is a replica. It was a bad replica in fact. I saw pictures and it is the Aerosync hood w/reverse scoop. I think my quest for the hood will be neverending, along with the wing, and Ti front strut brace. Oh well.

Finally had a chance to mount up the new wheels and tires. 17x9.5 Enkei NT03+M wheels with a WIDE 255/40/17 Toyo R888 tire. Front has no issues. Rear should not have issues but my alignment need to be re-done since I installed the Cusco trailing arms and lateral links. I am at almost 0 camber in the rear right now.




Front


Rear


Special thanks to T3h Clap for allowing me to constantly PM him with questions.

[subwrxkid]

damn they look good man!

Couple questions. You plan on running them on the street or just the track? Can you measure them to see how wide they are on the wheels for me? What's the offset on your wheels?

Reason I ask, is Toyo sponsored me for t1r's but if I showed them my car after paint, they would give me the r888. I don't know if I should hold out or not. PM me a price on what you paid, if you don't mind. I'm just curious.

Thanks!
