Mods? Mine are listed here, in the "Bored" thread that I posted last night too!

http://www.rs25.com/Forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=33627#post33627

We must've been on the same wavelength.

Mine's more of a wish list though.... but I did list what I already have, first.

Wasted? WASTED?!?! Money is never wasted on improving a Subaru! I've spent about a grand, and I wish I had more to spend. Once i get a job, though, time to spend some more! Oh, and start saving so I can buy it at the end of the lease!

everything i've got listed below so people don't ask me silly questions...i had no idea it would all be done in the space of the last 8 or 9 months...

when i bought this silly little thing last march to rid myself of the "mod money trap" that was my VW, i figured i'd throw some RS rims on it and be done. apparently, i don't know myself too well...

i'm debating right now whether to buy another daily driver, and turn this thing into a rocket sled, or just call it quits with the impreza and make it the daily driver -- finish the rear suspension, make a few little appearance tweaks, put the OEM pulleys back on and switch to a lightened flywheel, and then build a SILVIA.

hmmm...

not that it can happen anytime soon, but i don't daydream often enough anymore.

Basically I have a wrc car with roll up electric windows, sunroof, air conditioning and cruise.. it eats porsches and the local mustang crowd murmurs about it all night long at the strip.
bridged deck block with je 8.5 to 1 pistons attached to pauter x pattern rods attached to rebalanced knife edged crank . eaton m62 blower feeding spearco 3x7x21" fmic feeding 12 lbs boost at 68 degrees to msd 770 cc injectors into heavily, heavily massaged intake manifold, ports, guides and compression chambers. 3" full exhaust. engine control by www.sdsefi.com. Hasam Chalak semi elliptical full dog box with top and bottom stock ratio with 2nd 3rd 4th proportionatly placed ratios. sings like a molested catholic choir boy in all five gears.( terrible similie sorry ) prodrive wr inverted strut susp, three sets of alloys. recognized by Simon Lines of Prodrive as "very impressive" (actual tangible credentials, my 15 minutes of fame) no wing, no decorations (maybe 1; grille badge is leather with fetish spikes. only outside decoration) daily driven. I bought it in 1997 and have been dreaming it up since 94.
Ozzy, your car is ready!:checkit:

I would love to know how much that suspension set you back, probably a pretty penny.

To say the least, I am mesmerized by your car antics. This is how I would like my car to be one day, just with a turbo instead! Hopefully I'm on my way.

Oh yeah, are you using the multiple injector drives from SDS EFI?

I looked into this system, but having the injectors mounted in the throttle body seems like a pain, and I'm not sure how well it would fit on our Subie's. Any info on the system and its installation would be appreciated.

Thank you very much! 137 pics at www.printroom.com. Enter the album name" breathless". Don't forget to breathe.

I have the shift forks out and should have some trans cluster shots up next week. I paid full tilt on the suspension from SPDUSA but I was four years younger and it was exactly what I wanted. Mike Shields made it up to me on other orders

"Oh yeah, are you using the multiple injector drives from SDS EFI?"
Nope, I have 4, 770 cc, 72 lb/hr MSD concave pintle injectors meticulosly mounted in new bosses in the original manifold spots, single injector drive and very interesting maps. See the pics. I believe they are the biggest injectors on a Scooby in the usa. They always puddle on turbo Scooby applications but I have enough tube velocity. Purrs around town . 6 mpg's though. Visit www.sdsefi.com and or www.ptrsds.com Incredible faqs. and check out the 300 hp VR6 Quattro Rabbit on the projects page. Woo hoo!
