Re: 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.

FWIW, I used all Redline fluids in Janelle's WRX and she said the shifter feel was much improved.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
Thanks man!
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.
Rear RS rotor vs new STi rotor
STi struts and new exhaust components
Engine Hoist in place, my garage is a fucking disaster
Box of STi pedals with the slave cyl, Brembo calipers, WRX cluster, STi front aluminum control arms, etc.
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.

Re: Project GC8 AKA USDM STi Killer
Engine finally coming out.
The mandatory I'm in the engine bay pic.
One of the 3 wiring harnesses I have to figure out.
Old x-member being taken out.
STi pedals installed with the dash beam battle beginning (this took about 6 man hours to figure out)
Engine bay with new x-member bolted up cleaned with simple green.
The 2 wiring harnesses next to each other.
Modifying the heater core so that the STi dash beam will fit.
Modifying the dash beam so the heater core will fit 
AND... the final result, STi dash test fitted after 30 attempts and it's perfect. Heater core, STi pedals, blower motor, etc. all in with dash beam mostly bolted down we just have a few things to weld and fabricate.
