So finally did it. Got tired of Fwd and went awd. Bought myself a 2000 Subaru 2.5RS

UPDATE (11/19/15)

NEW for 2016:

Change a few things over to make the car more reliable and to be able to compete with the big guys out there.

Care package from our friends over at Rigoli in Australia

6speed out of the car and auto going in

Battery cutoff installed to meet NHRA regulations

Added a little shot of nitrous to help spool up on the line.

Picked up a set of BBS stockers and M&H drag radials to putter around town in...

Some logging to make sure everything is ok

For 2016 will be making quite a few changes.
Been eye balling the precision 7685 T4. Looks to be the turbo Ill be going with. Redoing my remote mount turbo kit to all T4. Most imporantly going to a full radiaor mounted in the back for the best cooling possible. Last but not least back to an air-air intercooler. The AWIC has been less than successful for us over these last few years.



Over the last few years have been building and rebuilding my project RSTi slowly moving towards my ideal build.

You learn fairly quickly that doing it yourself usually isn't the best method to achieving your goals. Its normal to ask for help.
In this instance, it was a no brainer.

Few Highlights:

 

[mtcs]

Need to have the front license plate. Nowhere to put it though without blocking the IC or fogs... any thoughts?

 

[boarderkid998]

Windshield and if u get pulled over say it fell off

 

[GC84ever]

How about getting one of those license plate holders that once you get to a certain speed they tilt back to allow more air to the radiator/IC.

 

[Splinter]

I built a quick release mount so I can take it off when Im at the track or taking pics. Street driving the IC doesnt get hot enough to matter, and I beat on it on the street.

 

[deltableh]

Hey man! I thought this car looked familiar.

I graduated AU in May. I lived in The Brick and saw you driving by all the time.

I have seen this car in person. It is SICK!

 

[APGEcho]

Looking at the power your eclipse was making, this car should be sick!

 

[sl2.5]

hey im looking at a 98 swap with an 03 wrx.. just wondering what you paid for your swapd

 

[defghui]

damn i like those headlights you got, what brand are they, do you know?

 

[mtcs]

Retuned my tec3 today...put a 1 bar spring in my wastegate today. Going to be running 15psi of boost today...giggity..
After the winter when i have the sti tranny and cp pisons in, it will be closer to 25...
and maybe a twin scroll 35r

 

[JDMPREZA713]

sexy....
how much did u end up payin for her

 

[mtcs]

about 10k with about 7k in free extra parts

 

[bue car]

a beast!

 

[RFFG]

Nice, great price as well!

 

[xilles]

is it just me or is your bov on the wrong pipe.. i thaught it should always be atleast 10-12 inches away from the throttle body...

 

[mtcs]

Went to the strip last night.
Took it way too easy on the tranny...

Ran like ass...
13.9 @ 105mph

Next time...getting my secndary rev limiter working...less gas in the tank...and not sleep at the light...

Hoping for .5 off my reaction tme and .5 off my 60 foot....
aiming for the low 13s and maybe if im really luck high 12s...without breaking the rs tranny...



Doing the sti drivetrain swap over the winter so she only needs to last another 2 months before she's in the garage for the season. Strip once a week...so we'll see if she lasts

 

[Eloheem]

Very nice ride!

 

[JDMPREZA713]

damn, wish i got a sti swap
and an sti tranny would b much better

 

[mtcs]

Went to NYIRP tonight...

Ran [email protected] not too bad considering I have the 257 and 30r but still have the RS tranny (rated for 165hp)
Ran a few passes and called it a day.

Good times...

 

[mtcs]

We'll thats it...
Tranny blew to pieces today...

Ran 12.1 on the rs tranny today at low boost

On my third run of the night the tranny went...1st and 2nd destroyed.

Next season....think im going to do ppg 1,2,3,4 and 5 stock...
