| Updates
Installed the catback and gutted the rear precat. Turbos are in good working condition and not blowing oil, little to no shaft play. Steering rack was shot when I got it on, so I need to order another one....
Aluminum drive shaft is in the mail, should be here Friday (05/04). I should have that on by automotion.
Car is at 3520 with an 1/8th tank of gas.

| Not mine, I say save your money and don't do any of that. If you really love the car then get a new JDM short block and swap your shit over and drop it in. Suddenly a 170k+ mile car becomes a 45k mile cream puff. Then build from there with confidence. | |

| Haha thanks. I have a 175k mile Supra that's getting the same treatment, so I've given the topic some thought. | |

| I hear where you guys are coming from but keep in mind, this isn't a subaru, they can take a little more abuse and I do have a wideband ready to put in with the downpipe as well so I can monitor it.
My dad an I road tripped this car to Washington (state) and made it in under 24 hours. The car runs great. | |

| Oh yeah man, the engine in that and the one in the supra are as close to bullet proof as you can find. I just say it from a point of power loss and degredation over time more than a reliability issue. | |

| So I ordered some stuff for this now that I am rid of my STi Here is the list of things that are on order or sitting in my room. OEM ECS Struts Lowering Springs PMP Downpipe GZP Manifold/PreCat Eliminator combo DBA 4000 Slotted Rotors Carbotech AX6 Pads StopTech SS braided brake lines front/back Supercar Engineering Caliper Stiffening Bolts and Speed bleeders ground wire kit I am also probably going to order a SS clutch line as well as figure out a catback and delete my cruise control. Motorsport Matt (32vape) is doing my Motor mounts tonight and will probably be doing my catback in the near future. As of right now I think I'm just going to strait pipe it unless I start getting pulled over to much or its just to loud. Going to try to get the Struts/springs in this upcoming weekend and have it lowered for automotion. Hopefully my rotors will get here this week as they have been on backorder for almost 3 weeks now and I can do the brake stuff as well. | |

| If his is like the one on the supra its a great big vacuum actuated piece of shit that gets in the way, weighs a lot, uses a second throttle cable and doesn't work very well. | |
