Hey all, long time listener, first time caller. First ever build thread so we'll see how this goes.
I picked up my 02 WRX with a known blown trans with the intention of doing the barebones 6-speed swap (06+ trans, shift linkage, STI driveshaft, 04 STI axle stubbies and seals so I could keep everything else WRX). I took a gamble and bought it off a guy on NASTICOC down in Riverside, CA and had it delivered sight unseen aside from pictures. Here it is the night it was delivered.
The next day I checked it out in the daylight:
Here are my girls testing out the JDM V7 seats:
Mod list from when I bought it (if I remember it all):
-Hybrid Crawford S1 short block with P&P 2.0 heads w/ Kelford 272 cams
-VF22
-TurboXS TMIC
-AEM intake
-Grimmspeed EBCS
-Walbro 255
-KOYO Rad
-Custom Cali license plate heat shield :lol:
-Samco hoses
-Gimmick inlet and aftamaf
-Cusco strut bars and main under body brace (H-brace?)
-Aftermarket sways painted lavender :roll:
-STI Pink rear trailing arms
-STI side skirts
-04 STI/04-07 WRX rear bumper swap
-04/05 tails
-JDM STI hood scoop and splitter
-Prodrive front lip
-COBB turbo back with a gutted cat
-JDM 4-pot front brakes
-Probably some other bits I'm forgetting
Managed to snag a crazy good deal on an 08 STI trans and rear diff with only 30k miles on them. And they both fit into the trunk of my wife's 2013 Impreza Sport hatch. :lol:
Couldn't resist picking up this sweet bit of JDM-ey goodness off my buddy's old SEMA Subaru project.
Well I just couldn't leave well enough alone and things got a bit out of hand and now this is what I have planned for it:
-Borg Warner S256 SS rotated turbo
-AD Engineering (local fab guy) rotated kit
-TiAL MVS EWG
-Vibrant Performance FMIC core
-AD Engineering custom FMIC piping for reverse intake manifold
-TiAL Q BOV
-AD Engineering 3" SD intake
-FIC 1650cc injectors
-Walbro 400 E85 fuel pump
-ACT HDSS clutch w/ OEM STI flywheel
-05 STI spindles/Brembos
-05-07 Cusco Zero-2E coils (picking up from a buddy when I get the cash)
-Spec C TGV-less intake manifold
-HolyCrapItsFast SD E-tune because he's up to the challenge :lol:
May have forgotten a few details but that's the brunt of it. I have already picked up a few of the pieces.
ID 1000s vs old Deatschwerks 750s before I decided to switch to E85 requiring bigger injectors:
AMS catback. This sumbitch took months to find:
Spec C manifold :tard::
Saikou Michi dual catch can:
Brembos/spindles, A'PEXi EBCS, and super sweet custom clock mount laptop holder I got from STI 2NR (thanks Sean
)
06/07 door cards I got for only $40:
Borg Warner S256 w/ AGP SS turbine housing:
Some Motegi M116 18x9 +35 wheels I traded for because they were better than the Rotas that were on it. The tires are stretched so I need to get some with more MEAT:
Being stripped:
I think that's about it for now. I have to work the build around work, school, and family so not sure how quickly this thread will get updated. I hope you enjoy!
