Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer

I like the picture of the shoes with the shock. DId you do the work in those shoes or put 'em on for the photography? Also, Any time I've seen manufacturers put those stupid rubber sleeves over coil springs, they are rusty and/or broken. It's to prevent noise, I think, but my springs never made any noise. Good job so far. Wiring is easy, get it finished soon.

Get some rear diff fluid from Subaru (I guess that's the best bet), get some other fluids and get er done!
FWIW, I used all Redline fluids in Janelle's WRX and she said the shifter feel was much improved.

I'm downloading the ESM's as we speak so I can sort out relays and sensors. Aside from that I spent the night organizing the garage and getting parts together and ready to be reinstalled. I also got the engine hoist back and tested it, tomorrow we dine in hell.

I'm also throwing around the idea of getting a cheap ass FMIC kit. I know what you're thinking but the pic above is the stock TMIC I'm dealing with... my ball sack dissipates more heat.
