tocinoman25 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 At last...FINALLY had another day off and without it being 90 degrees today, I installed the (msprank GB many moons ago) Hotchkis Rear Swaybar, Kartboy Endlinks, and AVO reinforced brackets...always exciting to install these parts and not pay for labor...slowly but surely my "DIRTY PENNY" is getting dirtier  Took her around the block and feels like a new car...no clinking, nice and stiff, noticeable with a lot less roll Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Went ahead and coated my Perrin ELH with VHT primer and then some flat black...protecting these pipes for our awesome chicago winters Masking off the area was pretty easy...happy with the results...just touched it up in a few spots after taking off the masked area and 3 coats did the job!

Legacsti11 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 For around the same price you could just go with a MAP EF2 which is a 20G and is currently what I run. http://www.maperformance.com/map-ef2-stock-frame-turbocharger-subaru.html 05 Legacsti with toys, Efi Logics Tuned, Whitey Built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) It will be 2 years this April that I have been on stage 2 and contemplating what turbo to get. Looking at plot after plot and PMing members and getting feedback. Thanks all for your input. Came down to BNR 18g, Kinugawa TD06sl2 18g, Blouch 18gxt. Then a good buddy of mine told me that Steamspeed is having a groupbuy on the STX 67. Took a look at the feedback on the STX71 and other line of turbos and plots do look good I must say and there are some happy customers. Besides, most parts I got on this car was because of Groupbuys...so why not on the turbo?  Goals: push stock block and eventually build shortblock in a year or 2 or 3 lol Possibly do a 6 speed swap one day, if no kids with the wifey. Would like to do an autox event and will make it to drag strip. Make max boost sub 4k rpms, make max torque near 4k rpm because 5 speed Linear powerband, daily driven Hopefully with my mods, these goals will be met... Tuning with STi Mikey April 25th...will keep you posted!  STX 67, CobbAPv3, ID1000s, DW65c, Perrin ELH, Invidia catless DP/Q300, GS TMIC, GS 3port ebcs, ks tech 73mm intake, GFV BPV, perrin 2.4 inlet 93 octane Group N motor and trans mounts, hotchkis sways, kartboy endlinks, avo reinforced rear brackets, cusco rear strut bar, avo short throw, momo knob, rallitek shifter bushings, avo trans bushings Still deciding on clutch, i do have an 11 wrx smfw Thats about it for now...i think...it never ends:rolleyes: So much for keeping the car stock!!! lol Edited February 11, 2015 by tocinoman25 Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocinoman25 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 APM Tuned blast blates/transmission brace Not the best photo since installing my clutch made for a long night Follow me on IG @chefodiycarguy and @chefo.soriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tocinoman25 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 After 500 miles on the southbend stage 3 daily clutch the pedal feel is definitley similar to oem pedal feel...paired with the smfw rev matching took a little getting used to. The blast plates definitely makes the shifts crisp and you get to hear the gears whining alot especially coasting ...so far so good...turbo and injectors go in this weekend and debating if i should install my saikou michi dual catch cans since its tight with the GS tmic...

tocinoman25 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 I will write a quick review on those thinking of getting blast plates/APM Tuned Transmission Reinforcement Braces for your 5 speed! I would highly recommend them, after installing them with my new clutch, 600 miles later, I am in love with my car all over again. These APM Tuned Braces/Plates makes shifting a breeze, super crisp and a slight increase in noise, you get to hear your gears working, nothing like hearing that racecar whine...I never thought to buy or visit another mechanic/performance shop, but I was referred to check it out and ive been to this shop over a half dozen times already. Mark and staff are great to deal with...go get your APM Tuned Transmission Reinforcement Plates asap...
