Well, under pressure from Scheides, I'm going to post a build thread. I probably should've had one a while back, but it's whatever. I guess that means I need to go over history a bit.
Bought the car on April 19th, 2008. 156k on the clock, completely stock. The reason for purchase was for autox and a better DD.
See: ugly wheels, boring and stock.

I ended up blowing up the stock T25 in Fall '08, and replaced it with a small 16G. I have no pics of this or the install. Later on, my stock BCS seized (or something), and I picked up an MBC. Again, no pics.
The car then stayed this way for a while, until a piece of asphalt jumped out in front of me and destroyed one of my wheels. This caused me to get these:

Then came the drop, on Asshanson's old Tokico Blues with Red lowering springs:

And now, as of last week, I have an FMIC, which is the real reason for the posting of this thread. Nothing special, and it's not huge, but it does the job and fits the bumper quite well:

Piping is routed as it is due to my j-pipe pointing toward the passenger side, I'll be picking one up that faces the driver's side and re-routing it soon:

And along with the piping, I also got a Greddy RS BOV, probably a little overkill for my application, but it sounds... interesting, and god knows I'm an attention whore:

And that's where things stand today.
