I'm just gonna sit here and drool over those TSS Fab parts...

Hey guys, thanks for the support so far, another few updates.

Moore Performance called and said my downpipe was built and being shipped to Swaintech for the White Lightning coating, really excited about the downpipe as it truly separates the exhaust from the wastegate flow and turns the internal wastegate into basically an external dump so that should sound interesting.

And my Racecomp Engineering Tarmac 2 coilovers and GrpN strut mounts arrived as well!

Pics to follow as usual

And I don't think I really uploaded some of the pics of the swap parts either so here ya go

And I just realized that I usually fail at taking pictures of my parts when they arrive, so this is an example of the TSSFAB trans crossmember that I got, but mine is coated black

00RSTi, where you been? Where you at with this?

I've made some progress on the RSTi, i have the front subframe powder coated and ready to be re-installed, the Racecomp Tarmac 2 are installed and all corners have been converted to 2005 STi components.

2015 STi rack was a hassle but it's in finally with the correct track width for the GC (using 2.5rs inner tie rods)

Engine and transmission still need to be dropped into the car but the RSTi is nearing completion.

The Version 6 STi I cant recall if i posted that the original EJ207 ended up letting go (at least the shortblock)

Sweet, glad to hear your still moving forward. Looking forward to seeing more updates.

Man i need one of them engine plates for the engine stand, it be easier to pull out and install pistons with the opening for the wrist pins.

Sorry to get back so late, totally missed this comment.

Yes that plate is a godsend!

Yes so..... I still need to install my Haltech Elite 2500 ECU, ended up getting their all-in-one CAN gauge to monitor everything going on.

It can display ANYTHING that the ecu is capable of reading.

This is for the GC8

Aaaaaand for the RSTi, like I've said i got the track width for the 2015 sti steering rack finally sorted.

I have the 2005 STi aluminum control arms installed with the Whiteline Bump steer correction kit, and whiteline roll center correction kit in place.

I have the Anti-lift kit ready to install as well

Also planning on building the heads in the Version 6

The shortblock is the Darton sleeved motor, Manley turbo tuff I-Beam rods, Manley 9.5:1 compression stroker pistons (92mm still), STI 79mm crank

For now the heads are stock but I'm debating between:
Kelford 199-C or 199-E (whichever is the 274/268 duration)

GSC S2 272/272

Or

Roger Clark cams whichever is 274 or whatnot
