LoneSTi '05 Sti build-FOR SALE

Quick run down of how i got the car:
really bad wreck in '08 totalled my corrola out and there for gave me some funds for a new toy.

Look at big trucks, Dodge ram srt10, evo x, g37, and of course a few STi's. found mine for a good price and have enjoyed it every since, except when shit breaks...

All it had a an spt short ram air intake on it when i bought it. After 2 weeks i had an aps 3.5" tbe and accessport on the car. after about 8 months i decided to drop a jics 300lph fuel pump, greddy profec b, and pe 850cc and i think my fuel rails. I was going to tune on the stock turbo with E85 to see what we could make.

The morning before the tune, we heard a knock in the motor and plans began to change.

We had about 4 different build ideas: Destroke it to a 2.3l, build my short block with cosworth parts, import a spec c motor from japan, or drop in the cosworth 2.5l shortblock.

and this is where it stands now:

pump gas dyno chart:


Car when it had rotas:

MS109 dyno chart:


At the track on pump gas, 12.19 @ 113.xx was my best shitty 60ft as well and a shitty track

 

[lonesti]

at cobb austin's grand opening with the rotas on:

random parking garage shot:

on race gas the car has gone 11.6 @ 128 with a 2.2 60ft, track was cold and i was on 235/45 tires, i was spinning like hell in first gear off the line and some of second.

other issues with car have been a ripped cv boot on the front passenger axle, p/s pump failure, dripping injectors, blown exhaust gasket, broken endlink(the stock one on stock sways, which is why i upgraded), and now some issue with cylinder number 4 not getting fuel correctly or something

compression and leakdown came back good, we changed spark plugs and the coilpack on number 4 and even the injector and still looking for the gremlin


thats the car in a nut shell, minus the new rims, car need s bath for a photshoot

 

[IGOTASTi]

Awesome build!

 

[lonesti]

ive had the build almost 2 years now,

wish i could have done heads and cams back then but maybe one day i'll finish the motor off

 

[lonesti]

so i have a friend working on a custom rally style light bar for the car so that the lights don't impede my fmic

also i'm starting to look into some gravel/ rally coilovers anyone have any suggestions?

 

[lonesti]

No I haven't had a chance to get it back over to mzm to check everything out, I've also thought of pulling my ecu and plugging in another to see if that was the issue hopefully this week or early next week we will have it figured out

I'm running a dr725, so there isn't a tmic that can compete with it without meth

And the coilys are for when I go visit my parents up in nm for the mountain roads and shit, probably won't rally it much at all just want to prep, and my light bar will end up being less that rally innovations cost for me so might as well be different

 

[BAD STI]

Nice build man! I love it. You definitely did your research. :tup:

 

[Its Twicky]

Hey man, liekt he ride. How did you do your headlights?

 

[lonesti]

i follow this how-to except for that painting part and angel eyes part, then i ran a beed of clear silcone around the gasket after it was all closed up to just make sure it was sealed
