THe Hottest Red P5 Around

If you've babied it that long, I'd hate to think that you've ****** the engine, but it may be so...

It wasn't babied, but at the same time it wasn't thrashed. It was driven to it's progressive limits. I'm past the 10,000 km point now and the engine is really solid. I'm just waiting on a few more parts before really turning the wick up. :D
 
Looks great! But I beg to differ hehe.

Glad everything is running smooth.
 
thats pimp as ****!!! like the wheels.... like everything... esp that engine..... you did this the smartest and easiest way possible not the cheapest but #1 for sure. say hello evo/sti rapist!!! keep it up hopefully 400hp someday that block is soooo niceee!! wayy to go!!
 
How'd the Perrin fuel rail + WRX 440's work out for you? A lot of work? Also curious with the CS exhaust - I'm getting one in a week or so and was just wondering your opinion.
 
Yo thanks Kableguy! Wicked comments! There's this one white STi here I really wanna beat...

Magnum, the Fuel rail fit okay, but I had to grind down the "spacers" that go between the manifold and the fuel rail, because with them at stock length, there was a vacuum leak around the base of the injectors, so I just filed them down about 1/8" and it fit perfect. Now I'm also running the 626 manifold, so whether this was due ot the fuel rail or the manifold is unknown.
 
NNNNNNIIIICCEEE!!Looks like my car has new red P5 to look up to,lol!(cool)
Was thinking about painting my rims white too but that's too maintenance for me.

Ya, white rims suck if you're a clean freak like me. But they do clean up easily, so if you wash and that, then drive to a show you can just wipe with some quick detailer and you're good to go.

Hoping for around 350WHP at 20psi on the T3. A bigger turbo is in the future, don't worry.

350whp on 20psi from a t3 won't happen without some kind of trickery. LMK when you want that 2871R. :)

That's cool!I'd prolly go white but I don't have any white on my car so it wouldn't really go well.

Lots of good C-reds on the forums but yours is my favorite. Seeing those JDM tails makes me want to sell a kidney...

Ya, I did the math and that turbo maxes out around 18-19psi, so I'll take it to 22 and see what happens. But, It might be blowing so much hot air that I'll have to pull timing and the HP will be the same as more advanced timing on 18 psi. And ya, I will take that turbo from ya once I get upset that the one I have won't be good enough. LOL! In all honesty, I'm more happ with 1/4 mile times and such than HP numbers, cause that has more to do with the driver than a dyno (duh!) So If I break into the high 12's I'll be extatic (sp?) Low 13's would float my boat too. I'll be running BFG drag radials on my old 17's so I shouldn't have too much problem hooking up.

Thanks man! But you need not sell anything! Corksport has them for like $160 I think...
