GR My 2011 STi (wtf is a warranty?) journal

Wow dude, car looks so mean! Looks so damn good! Very very very nice! I absolutely love it! Let us know when you have finally finished tweaking the coils and how they handle on hard turns! :tup:

Thanks!!! And it might take a while to get any feed back on the coilovers because I just got a new job and don't have alot of time to get real deep into messing with them. But so far just driving to work and back they ride really good. On a side not I ordered a Invidia N1 dual cat back so I will finally have a exhaust back on the car hahahahaha

My car drops so many panties that I figured it would just be easier to carry my bed around with me. And you can see the new N1 exhaust

Finally got some time to upload some of the new photos of the car since I went a little lower on the BC coilovers and the new Moroso air oil separator.

Well I got tired of adding a quart of oil every 1k miles so this past weekend I pulled the motor and took it apart. The number 3 and 4 pistons had cracks between the comprssion rings so I guess it's time to do a build. So far I have Tomei H beam rods, JE forged pistons, Cosworth main and rod bearings, ID 1000 injectors, DW65 fuel pump, Cosworth head studs, Gates racing timing kit, Blouch 1.5XTR 8CM with ceramic coating and air pump delete plates. My other parts list I have made up but not yet ordered has ACT heavy duty clutch street disk, Killer B oil pan pickup tube and windage tray, Cosworth High pressure oil pump and thinking about trying the MSI fuel rail kit that Rallysportdirect sells. Oh and I was thinking of getting the Cosworth or Tomei 0.7 head gasket.
I will post pictures when I get on a computer. Any input will be awesome because this is my first EJ motor build I need all the help I can get.

Well got some godies in

Just a couple of ringland cracks





Got the new turbo in Blouch Dom 1.5 XTr



Well I figured I would try my hand at making some TGV deletes and I think they ended up looking pretty good. I smoothed up the inside, sand blasted it And painted them flat metallic black.

I had my mechanic put my water pump on and I rebuilt my heads.









And the new baller intake from Process West
