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.
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.
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...

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
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.
Well fellas this is my on going project.
it all started when my JDM STI forester snap a Kelford cam in half.
Interested? Well let me start by introducing myself. I’m originally from Dominican Republic and after migrating the a US territory I was able to join the US army. After couple of...

I've had the car since 2003, so I guess I'll start one of these. 3rd owner, got her from Subaru of Thousand Oaks. I really wanted a RBP RS, but when I needed to get a car I could only find this BDP one. Slowly started modding it, and by 2006 she blew her head gaskets and my brother, my sister's...
