Nice build(s) man!

You make me think terrible, wonderful thoughts about this clean, blown transmission 92 LS-L that I was just planning on manual swapping and dd'ing...

Managed to snag the overall win this day:

Shed some weight from the worst place to have it, and now I can fit comfortably with my helmet on! (previously I would have to open the interior sunroof panel and was still coming up short...or tall as it were) http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab29/pdarkfred/10609436_10153670932514989_828040069718...

Hahaha, nice. Never open DP but when I was parting out my GC, I started the engine one time with headers off just to see what that was like. It was still inside my shop at the time, so to have called it loud would have been a gross understatement.

Yeah, it's definitely loud but not unmanageable by any means. You sometimes get some pretty sweet afterfire as a bonus.

A couple of pics from this last racing season, in no particular order: http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab29/pdarkfred/10478386_888674101148085_2455999675294342661_o_zpsf64e4b8c.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab29/pdarkfred/10365400_10202656598201750_240898607548360285_o_zps9b376ef1.jpg ht...

Any chance you could provide those part numbers? I have only found used replacement ones and they are expensive to ship.

Just got some STi housings and dampers installed and wheel bearing number 3 of 4 replaced. We ended up sticking with the WRX springs that were on it as well as the Group N. tophats; very excited to see how it all functions at next months event. Feels very good so far. I also finished another project...

Just wanted to follow up on this since I've finally gotten it fixed (just in time for the first 90+ degree day of the year!). It turned out to be the ignition starter switch which screws in to the back side of the ignition. For whatever reason, it was separating and pushed out. I tried to remove it ...

Amazing work! Such a top job on everything.

The harness (Schroth Rallye 4 ASM) bolts right in but can be a bit tight between the seat and B-pillar as well as center console. Just be sure to test how you want to route the belts before bending the harness mounting tab things (the ends that are bolted to the car) so you only have to bend them on...

I'm using a ver.II STi drivers seat in my '94 SS. It sits just slightly higher than stock but is almost not noticeable. I love the bolstering/support of these seats, not to mention the look. http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab29/pdarkfred/seat_zps38877a20.jpg I'm 6'2" and with a helmet on I n...

Jackpot: http://tuning-award.geilekarre.de/nc/fahrzeuge/id/subaru-legacy-turbo-von-andreas-schaefer/ It's the first car he owned. Started the resto in 2009 and an estimated 1200 hours in to it. Full custom leather interior, Lambo orange paint job, lots and lots of refinished metal bits. I find mysel...

Been doing some more digging, found this too:

The level of finish on this is simply astounding: http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab29/pdarkfred/823476_619783224745202_418880442_o_zpsec477aff.jpg http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab29/pdarkfred/1397151_596574503722755_1794543185_o_zps95dc4b53.jpg Probably the only polished chimney in the worl...

Haha, it's definitely advantageous! One local driver has let us use his alfalfa field a few times when our main site was unavailable.

Thanks man!

It's pretty clean all over, some of the undercoating is coming off from what must have been a previous owners' off-roading so I may try to reapply that in places. Otherwise I've really lucked out on that front.

So I've had a couple of events now since the rebuild and things are getting to a stable point. We still had to chase down a few issues all of which can be attributed to this being a 20+ year old car. Sensors and hoses needing replaced, also re-engineering a chronically leaky press fitting (AN fittin...

Awesome build man, props!

Took off the usual wheels to get them balanced. Winter set from the Impreza looks pretty nice on here, may leave them for a bit! (Prodrive P7s)

Thanks man!

Props to Jimmy Ton for the rig shot (http://www.jtonphotography.com/)

Will post the other shots from that day in a few.
