iam also looking for some stock parts: stock sti intake (full intake), stock sti dp, and stock sti springs.

You did whaa? What the hell did you get?

[gabedude]

What parting it out?

Was it just that the cost of the rebuild and upgrades were deemed not worth it? Gas prices? Or are you getting a GTR?

Better be getting a damn GTR!

i think it was more he got fed up with it. he got his gt65 in and it was all fubar'd. not sure of the whole story. just heard bits and pieces.

we are at 52% of the deployment being done and im excited!!! Also Gabe, I might be moving to Austin for at least the next 3-4 years to go to UT for Green to Gold. I just got my turbo inlet in the mail and the next thing on the list is the front mount and hopefully the crawford catchcan. ;D Then after that who knows.... meth and a 20g?

That's good news. Definitely take advantage of the school. I think we could just add meth for starters.

While Keith at AWD tuning borrowed my WBO2 clamp this weekend (through Steve (Bankaiup)) and tuned a bunch of cars in Austin, Tess and I put my motor back together and got it in. Gonna start it up tonight if we can find the damn radiator cap. Lol.

Remember we have a kid too. So build time was limited to when she was seeing her grandma for a few hours and at night.

Here's some pics (more pics in my journal):

Started out Friday night when my headgasket came in:

Head is not even bolted down yet:


End of Friday night:


Saturday, starting at 1:30PM:


Yes, it easiest to get it in with the turbo on.


Also, with the leveler this way, it is pie to put it in.


End of Sat night:


Sunday around 2PM:


Go pick up our girl from grandma's at 6PM:



Done at midnight:

looking good.

[JAVSTI]

looks good bro, and yes i did get a spiffy civic , but dont count me out after i get rid of my sti, dont count me out of subbies for too long. I should be back in a couple of years with some sort of H6 twinscroll setup

[gabedude]

Thanks guys.

Javi,

Your car was a money pit from hell (and I thought mine was). Here's hoping mine starts tonight and doesn't burn oil anymore.
