Once the second polar vortex leaves wisconsin I will go outside and wrench. Tired of doing all these mods in -10 weather heh. However the hp gain from the cold weather is 4 wheel spinning fun!
This is rather annoying :-/ now the ypipe is too short that i got. Going to have to extend it with some metal tube. Also the bypass valve for the intercooler has a different od than the bypass tube it needs to connect to.

Fixed my needle issue. turns out they were in the wrong start position. I turned the car to the on position and manually moved them back to 0. Everything has checked out so far speed and rpm.
Need another rs gauge to verify 99-01.
Recently installed a wide band from PLX. (not sure how I feel about it yet)
oh simple update.. guy with the 275 dollar seats bailed on me .. I purchased these 2005 sti seats with rails and everything for 400. I had to use my rs buckles with a simple modification. (cut a tab off so they could be mounted to the seat) I had to do this because the seat belt wouldn't lock in with the 2005 seat buckles.
Figured to post that information incase someone else went out and bought some seats. I'm awaiting on enduring solutions for my new daughter board so I can then have full tune capabilities. Means new injectors! Can't wait! http://www.enduringsolutions.com/Manual.pdf
So..
picked me up another chassis. $600 and it runs, mostly!
Still have the ej20g, gearbox, RobTune and iWire harness, stance coilovers (I had just bought to replace my godspeed crap) and lots of other parts... so here we go again!
From the ashes, she will rise!

owned this 2.5rs for about 7 years. Rushed to get it after selling my 08 wrx. Did not do a carfax on it, i just bought it with no research.
Later found out it was involved in an accident or 2, was pretty bummed about that. but i finally got a 2.5rs like i've always wanted.
fast...
Hello everyone,
It finally happened, after a year long search I found an RS!
I ended up selling my 2002 Civic Si to a buddy of mine from work for a buddy price and the day after this gem popped up on Craigslist. I immediately contacted the owner approximately 15 minutes after the ad went up...
Lets get to the point.
Donor car: 2005 sti slightly modded.
Was fun while it lasted.
Fun in the snow.
And on the track.
Then some water happened along with a crazy idea and this was purchased.
and the FUN begins.
