Let me know if you find them, I'm looking for a set of STI airbags, I forgot I don't need the steering wheel itself.

well the steering wheel airbag went with the wheel. I can definitely find the passenger side one this weekend - I'll pm you when I locate it

Thanks.

Ha, that was pretty much my guess based on the quality of the build and attention to detail. Makes me want to get out on the lakes and race again.

Any vids of you ripping it up on ice, grass, or snow? Props to an insane build. Dont know many people who would ripp the shit out of their STI just for weekend fun, keep up the very good work.

B.S. in mechanical engineering and a minor in electrical has proved to be pretty useful for working on this thing - there are still some things that are ghetto rigged but it all works! lol

here are some vids from last weekend (there is sound, it's just quiet, the gopro doesn't do sound well).

I'm hoping I can do some modding on the gvr4 next year once I'm done with the big expenses on this car (assuming I don't ball it up against a tree at 80mph lol). I don't think it'll get the rally treatment though... (maybe some mudflaps)

Andrew and I needed to mount my terratrip so we went off to the camera store, bought a bar clamp for studio lighting as the base. Then we bent up some brackets.
