turbo turd gc build (swap is done...)

[SF5boost]

So about 2 months ago i was down in nj staying at my now ex girlfriends house for the weekend. so monday morning about to head back to vt, go to the local wawa to get some gas, and right as im about to leave i here this not so funny noise coming from my tranny. as i begin to drive my car starts to jerk and then it pops into neutral. i try to put it back in 1st and it wouldnt. long story short my tranny broke. so i had a friend (350snbeer) come down and trailer it back to vt. two weeks later i came across a 96 impreza coupe for sale, so i picked that up and have been driving that. anyways for the past 2 months ive been working on my motor makin clean and pretty. this is my progress.

ed what do u mean i should taped off certain pieces?

There are machined parts on the STi IM that don't have paint. Personally I think it looks fantastic.

HOLY PIPING BATMAN :eek:...I like justins setup with the shortie piping.

[eckman]

I have the TurboXS RFL BOV and can be up for sale. I love the sound but went with their recirc valve due to an unknown tune of the car when I purchased it. Still runs great!

50 bucks plus shipping. Let me know. I have a paypal account but I'm fine with checks. Let me know...

/e

[eckman]

OH. If you're not in a rush to get the part delivered. Shipping will be free since I will be rolling into S.VT in Nov. A good reason to have another meet.

[RCKSTR]

OH. If you're not in a rush to get the part delivered. Shipping will be free since I will be rolling into S.VT in Nov. A good reason to have another meet.
(where do you want to eat when you come up this way??)

[eckman]

When I do is probably the first week/end of deer huntin (nov) and I will be wanting to go to the old "maple leaf brewing" in Wilmington. Sell or no sell. Let's get together.

[RCKSTR]

sounds good to me :up: is that the place right down town next to the police station?

[eckman]

Correct. That place used to have a great beer until they sold it to some folks from CT and the new owners do not make beer.

To stay on topic. My TurboXS RFL is still up for sale. :D

[squeethebee]
