Hello,

Hey guys i'm Shane. Its about time I not be a hermit anymore. A lot of people have been telling me to come on here "shoot the s!@#" , learn, get my work out there, and maybe even help some others out too if I can. I own a 2008 Sti and a supper rad Hyundai accent "GT" haha its a "GT" its fast so shhh! Not really.

I'm a huge car enthusiast who strives to be the best, and want to get there some day. Learning is a big thing for me. Also I would like to share the things I have and can do with you all and get some feedback. That is why I am here an be of some help to you guys as well. I do the majority of my own work, and hope to lean what I cant do at the moment very soon (machining). I'm not scared and am very willing to try new or existing products on my own car, test them, prove and provide data to others why they should have them as well. I'm sure you've all heard it before but hey just thought I'd put it out there and anybody that knows me definitely will tell you the same thing!

Started working on cars with my father when I was around 13 and motorcycles even before that. I started out building my Tacoma into a prerunner with my dad as I went to school for welding/fabrication. Shortly after I got my hands on a Subaru, three forester XTs later I decided to try and do something else and I built a 2005 GTO N/A 627hp and decided I loved Subaru more so here I am again and now on the second Sti. I believe I have some vast knowledge about these cars and others too, so i hope I can bring something to the table.

Well its time to meet lots of cool people, help others if I can, possible sponsorship, promoters, and most of all learn and further myself to being great at what I love. Being the reserved quiet guy that I am I its awesome to be here. I am one of those dudes that will help in every way that I can if you just ask.

Fortunately for me a lot of the work had been done to this one when I got my hands on it. It is however going through a huge motor change now. I am building a gnarly bottom end and fully building the heads. Most of the parts have already been ordered and should be assembling it shortly. Finger crossed all parts come in. If you are interested in helping out in any way please please let me know. Support is the biggest and hardest thing to come by. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Shane

Not a problem at all. I said I'd help you however I can. Even if it's just letting you use excess garage space, I'll do what I can to help you out bro. With all the time you've put in helping me with mechanical stuff, it's the least I can do for you.

Awesome. How is that new clutch? Still feel strange with how light it is?

it works great man. And the exhaust leak is pissing me off.. either EGTS are nuts, or I have a warped flange. Going to get an EGT sensor and maybe even pull the whole turbo out to have the machine shop check the flange straightness.

yeah thats very possible you definitely caked on the goop so it wouldnt leak!! ha maybe lets pull it of one more time and try again?

Holy shit dude...Welcome!! U should become a sponsor and start a garage! i wanna see more!

Shane is our lead Subaru technician now and really knows Subies. He's very ocd and does things by the book when it comes to torque specs and assembling a block. He has done our last couple motor assemblies with no issues and we couldn't be happier to have him at our shop!

Welcome to the team! You have come to the right place! Very nice STi! :tup:

Shane is a HUGE asset to the community!

Edited a post to make sure I'm not being hurtful. I'll make a public apology for my word use in that post. I will say that when it was brought to my attention that I called some people names, I didn't even realize I had done it.

I'm lost. :confused:
