Well she finally made it back home this past weekend. Its a 2006 2.5i with bad bearings. Im gonna pull the motor out tomorrow, or at least get started on it and have the heads prepared to be worked on. I sold my coilovers and im looking to go with a totally different setup as far as suspension goes. Theres gonna be a lot changing about the car, and the few of you who i have talked to you pretty much know where the car is going. The car is being built for the twisties. Im estimating 250 crank horsepower NA. Which should put me right in GT territory which is plenty for the cars purpose. This will be a long slow build and ill keep you guys posted with pics on how everything is going. Thanks...........stay up GA members-lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSaladino Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 so how's the build coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tougefox Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 so how's the build coming? picking up an sti block next week. From there ill be getting high compression pistons and that will wrap it up for the bottom end. From there i think i will bolt it back up and get it running. But TWE heads and cams should be on later this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSaladino Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 awesome! can't wait to see how it runs... especially with your attention to suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
