I have been following your car for a while and it is truly an inspiration to see what it has come to especially with you being in the military. Hopefully my car can someday compare. Keep up the good work man. Glad you were finally able to nail down that transmission stuff you should be a pro at pulling those things out and rebuilding them by now haha.

Thanks man! I actually bought everything to build my own transmissions after I watched Shep and TMZ both fix a gear stack for me at this past shootout.

did you have it tuned at Epic Motorsports? looks familiar, i took my STi to get tuned there and Robbie did a fantastic job, those guys know what they're doing.

great build so far

I'm good friends with all the guys down there. I have Babi tune the car because he knows alot more on AEM than I ever would.

Epic Motorsports shut down but Force Fed Performance is still in the same shop.

I've always loved this car. You and one other person inspired me to go fourth on my car. Backyard, no sponsorship builds are doing it big this year.

Thank you! Its hard sometimes trying to keep up and go faster but when it all works its worth it!

My friends at Force Fed performance let me use the dyno anytime I need it so I decided to represent for them on my car. I have alot of hours on the dyno with this thing.

If we're talking like that, I will have one fab shop on my car but I was mainly talking towards "go-fast" parts. Lol It's easier with a sponsor, I wouldn't mind one, but I love being able to pay for my own stuff out of my pocket and still doing what the big names are doing. Great feeling.

Mind asking me what clutch you are running or going to be running this year?

C_Keagy · Jan 21, 2012

I'm still going to be on a quartermaster twin disc.

I actually need to pick up a new flywheel. The one that is on the car now is the old MAP one where the ring gear bolts on. It wears down the ring gear grooves where the bolts are and starts to bounce around.

It's not really safe ha.

1SLOW93TURBO · Jan 21, 2012

If ya need new bolts that attach the clutch assembly to flywheel let me know. I had to buy 50 of them just to replace mine when I was using the quartermaster.

C_Keagy · Jan 21, 2012

Holy hell why did you have to buy so many? I normally just hit up QM and they send me some for a couple bucks.

Pretty far from safe! Lol I think I will be going with the gear-drive but we will see. You should definitely bring the car to IFO in September here in STL. Would be awesome to meet you if I don't at the Shootout this year.

Not sure if you know them, but Denny Christman, Adnan Omerovic in the 4g Monza and quite a few other guys will be there. A few guys that I know from GA are bringing their car up, 90% on the GA guys at least.

I needed one last minute and Fastenal was the only store that had them in stock and they would only sell them to me in bulk. I was pretty upset that a $1 bolt cost me at least $50 LOL

I feel ya! I needed new bolts for my cam gears and they wouldn't split a pack of 100 bolts or nuts.

Well F my life....

Yeah its a Dogbox one. I want to know how they assemble these things. I tried to press the gear off and it doesnt budge.

thats a shame, i still have the epic motorsports decal on my STi, even though it's all stock again.

C_Keagy · Jan 25, 2012

Mine will be pulled off before it hits the track again.

Your car is pure sex my friend, Thanks for the new phone wallpaper :thumb:

banishedmunk · Jan 28, 2012

did you get the off the shelf ksports or did you get a set with custom setup?

Whitecat90 · Feb 2, 2012

This is one of the best build threads in here. Loved seeing the progress.

I just went with some off the shelve ones that we on sale.

Thanks! I wish I would have started it on here back when I began the build. It's all really cluttered on one page. I had a nice build thread with daily updates and everything on Dsmpurity.com but the ass hole that owned it sold everything and ignores everyone's comments.

Whitecat90 · Feb 2, 2012

Im really tearin into mine this year now that i have a garage to work in and im thinkin i might start a build thread

C_Keagy · Mar 4, 2012

Time to update!I have gears sent out for a new trans I am building.

Should be pretty bad ass if it works right.

I also got to work on the engine bay I pulled everything out so I can give it a fresh paint job.
