With the tires that are on my car right now you probably won't need any car lengths lol

You bastard!

If I had $3K sitting around I'd hop on it, dry hump it, and make it my bitch.

I got a little work done on the Slowbaru today. I got all of the interior wiring out of the WRX, and only have to pull the front harness with the headlight wiring out.

Yesterday I picked up my slightly larger turbo. It's a Turbo Lab 20g. It has no shaft play and has the wastegate flapper welded shut, so I can use the EWG up-pipe I'm getting from Ryan. It only has to get me through this season!

Today I went to pick some parts up from Phill @ Grimmspeed, and ended up buying a never used protoype Grimmspeed 3" catless downpipe. The only thing I will have to do is change the 2-bolt flange to a 3" v-band and take a few inch section out to get the length right.

I ALSO, got my hands on a true JDM Legacy rear window, which includes a rear wiper. Since I have wiring from a wagon, the steering column and controls are all ready for me to add it on. Evidently these are extremely rare and people pay upwards of $350 for them. It'll look like this.

I'll have my heads back from the machine shop by next weekend and at that point will be able to get the motor back in the car. Ryan is holding the rest of my FMIC piping and will only have to switch BOV flanges for my Tial.

I ran in to a set of FiveO Motorsports 2000cc top feed injectors and will be sending them to Raven Works for cleaning and testing. I'm also almost done piecing together my top feed rails, -an fittings and braided hose, and will be picking up Grimmspeed 8mm phenolic intake manifold spacers as well. I'll probably get a DeatschWerks DW300 fuel pump to back everything up.

The last big purchase I have to make is my Accessport unit, but I think I've gotten the worst of it bought already! I'm getting antsy!

So close I can smell the burnt ethanol.

Just an FYI I think there is a Walbro 255 in there. After the pump went out for the 2nd time Im pretty sure I swapped one in... Sad that I dont remember.
The car is looking really good! Cant wait to see it up and running again

Also, last I talked to Shane he said a modded 255 flows more then a DW300.

Well I'll be. I think I have a 255HP in the WRX too. Good to know either way I'll have a few spare 255's. lol

This is true.

Well shit, since I have two 255's now, I'll definitely skip the DW300.
