Yup!

"only" 176k on mine, its been putting up with a GTX3067R turbo and 23psi for the past 30k, as well as a few track days here and there.

The most recent engine bay shot too.

Updated the mod list on page one to the best of my memory.

Theres a 6speed swap in the back so its sagging a little.

Went and picked up a 2011 STI trans swap tonight. Rear tires were tucking the whole way home but never rubbed!

 

I was putting off taking photos until I finally got the car polished out and detailed properly, but I'm rarely in town long enough to get much done lately.

This was the Track Night in America event, which is cheaper at $150 for three 20 minute sessions, I think normal days are in the ~$250 range. I'm not sure why sound was off, I probably had the camera set up wrong. I'll have sound and data overlay next time around!

Some in-car video from yesterday. I need to find a data overlay solution that isn't expensive, someone told me to check out Harry's Lap Timer app. Apparently it collects GPS and accelerometer data, then will overlay track position, lap number, speed, and G-forces. Also need to figure out why sound was off.

 

First session,

 

Second session,

 

Third session,

Managed an unofficial 1:24.X around Blackhawk on stopwatch, felt really good all day and didn't give me any issues. Had quite a few people come up to the car after the first session to figure out why the hell it was passing everything in sight.

And because why the hell not, picking up a 6-speed swap on Friday.

Pictures still pending, but installing some Cusco braces tomorrow and taking another run around Blackhawk on Wednesday.

I would for sure want the silver trim pieces running along each side of the stereo and shifter, and the driver's side front door exterior window trim if its in good shape. I'm trying to decide whether I want to bite the bullet on your 6spd swap.

Could I stop by and check it out? I'm not sure exactly what, but I'd probably want some bits.

Good, I wasn't sure if you were making a second version, that angle made them look larger for some reason!

not wide enough for you !

 

I don't want to go crazy! lol

 

If its just wide enough that a normal person wouldn't notice, then thats what I want!

How big is that flare??

Nah, usually too exhausted to appreciate it. We were operating with a smaller team this year so we were stretched pretty thin. 4-6 hours of sleep a night, the rest is all rushing around attending to cars and trying to track down the owners. Highlights were that we helped put a Miura on the podium for a 3rd in class, it was the first time that owner had ever presented at Pebble, so that felt pretty good. The car came in from Switzerland, and got pretty messed up during transport. Lots of hours went into polishing that one... also got to drive Rob Walton's Ferrari 330 LMB from the lawn back to the trailer.

Heres several hundred photos from the past weekend in Monterey and Pebble Beach.

We definitely need some concours photos. Super jealous once again. I’ll get down there someday.

 

I'll do a dump off my phone to a shareable folder, theres... a lot of them. What an exhausting week!

Need!

I might take some after work, otherwise might be a bit. Heading out to Monterey for the Pebble Beach Concours in the morning!

I can picture the words, but would be much more enjoyable with pictures...

 

I was waiting for that

Oh, also entered the FL4T FEST car show on Saturday and won 1st place in the Legacy/Outback class as well as one of the sponsor's choice awards (Topshelf Performance). So that was fun!

Few new things over the past year. Took it out for another event at Blackhawk last month, and melted more of the bumper. Was pretty pleased overall though, it was around 95 degrees that day and the car was rock solid over three 20 minute sessions, and I usually push the car pretty hard the entire time.

 

Other than that I got some new wheels earlier this year, 18" Enkei TSVs, for a street wheel so I don't chew up my track tires commuting. I also added front and rear JDM "aero spats", a new front lip, JDM tail lights, brand new headlights, and some fancy bits from Madrig (blue carbon extended scoop, blue carbon extended wing, standard twill black carbon door sills). I also added the Redline Tuning hood struts since my hood proper kept falling out of place.

 

I think a 6 speed swap may be the next "big" upgrade. Either that or an IAG stage 2.5 closed deck block and a flex fuel setup for mo' powah babeh!

Wow, this is a very impressive and outside the box build. Awesome job!
