Now she does need some TLC and maintenance, but overall, the car runs very well and has a completely clean body.

Anyway, here is my new baby the day I brought her home.

Let the fun begin.

AutoX Plans:

For the first time in while, i'm actually going to keep the full interior in the car. But, that may change, so we'll see.

Because of the mods done to the car already, I will be competing in the SM Class. Sucks, I know, as ill get stomped by Evo's and STi's all day, but what can you do.

- Carbon Fiber hood has been sold
+ Sourced White OEM Hood Locally
- Current wheels have Snow Tires (front), all seasons (rear) - These will be saved/used for Fall/Winter
+ Will have a dedicated AutoX/Summer/Spring Wheel Set in the near future.

More info to come!

Thanks!

So far, i'm compiling a list of things to address with the car before the winter and next season. This will be updated as time goes on.

High Priority:
- Alignment DONE
- Intermittent "no-start" issue
- Battery Tie Down or Relocation
- Timing Belt Cover
- Install new spark plugs

Medium Priority:
- Speedometer Sensor (install new VSS) DONE
- Undercoat body/wheel wells DONE
- Catch Can Install DONE


Should be a fun fall. haha

i see u converted the bumpers i love the hood. are u going to get a high rise wing?

That first picture is how the car was purchased.

The hood has been sold, I have a stock hood in place now.

I have been contemplating the 2gb high rise, but have not yet made a choice. The money can easily be spent elsewhere so right now, that's on the back burner.

Not sure where you heard that! But the guys we run with are pretty nice. My buddy Tim has a lightly modded EvoX that just rips! Cannot wait for next season!

We will have a blast!

Nice looking car man i like the OEM hood much better, TBH you should paint those side skirts white also it would look better IMO
 
Good luck, I don't have to many problems with evos and subies in SM. It could just be my region. GST is a hand full for autocross, but its fun.

That's good to hear! Im very much looking forward to next season.


Almost finished with the skirts!

Side Skirts Finished

Also installed new shifter assembly and short shifter. Car shifts so much better now. The amount of slop in the old junk ebay shifter was unfathomable.
