Congratulations!!! I am pretty jealous. The flat black gives it a crazy appearance, nice touch tho. Now its time for some autocross!

I usually just look around on these forums, however i really like your build. Looks very good but i have one question, be free to send me a pm but what fittings did you use on your valve cover? I like this idea because it looks like there is no welding involved, thank you and clean ride!

Since my car is 21 years old and most of the front suspension is shot, I decided to start replacing some parts.

New front lower control arms, and bushings.
New sway bar end links.
New front struts and bump stops.
New front wheel bearings and seals.

{Edit} Ordered me some rebuilt 93 GSX 2 piston brake rotors, calipers and pads
Also have V3 lite in the mail

All oem replacement parts. Should have some pics up soon but waiting on the parts, had to order it all nothing in stock at the parts stores.

 

[pos4g63]

Its been a while since I last updated. I finally got a lot of my parts in, and on the car. Couple pics of my new suspension and my new GSX brakes.

Got some new goodies going in soon.
ECMlink V3 lite
Innovative wide band
EVO 9 Fuel pump
EVO 550 injectors
EVO MAF

After that my next plans are to get a SS downpipe and build up a 3 inch dump exhaust with a dynomax bullet muffler.

 

[pos4g63]

Been kind of slow going for me. I finally got Ecmlink V3 lite up and running in my car and had to fix a couple issues. 02 was bad, idle switch is bad and had some bad connectors on my Coolant temp sensor.

Since last update I picked up some stuff
a blown small 16g
Punishment racing downpipe.
Dynomax bullet 3 inch
3 inch exhaust pipe and flange
finally got a shift knob.
I also rewired my fuel pump.
Also been working on a custom IAT

 

[pos4g63]

Thought I would add a couple updates. Ive been working on my buddies 08 WRX so I have been neglecting my ride.

Ordered a VR speed FMIC Should be here anyday.

Got the O2 sensor fixed but my Estimated AFR at idle is a little rich, so I gotta figure that out.

Heres a couple pics of some parts Im getting ready to throw in.

Blitz Boost Controller and Guage.

My custom $60 Exhaust.

EVO 9 Goodies.

Guage Holder.

Very clean looking man. I like seeing fellow 1g GST owners hahaha when you get the intercooler in could you take a few pics when its mounted without the bumper on? I was thinking about getting one.

 

[Pipnorcali]

Nice the fp mani looks sweet

 

[pos4g63]

Finally got my VR-speed inter-cooler in and on, after a small back order. While taking the front bumper off I broke 4 bolts. The kit is really nice for the price. The only bad part was the A/C lines had to be bent alot, and I had to take my power steering cooler off.

 

[pos4g63]

Almost 2 months since I last updated. Cut the crap out of my finger so I couldnt do much.

Got my VR front mount fully installed and the stock 1g bov flange welded on.
Disconnected my A/c due to inter-cooler fitment.
Removed A/c fan due to inter-cooler fitment.
Installed a PR 3 inch downpipe.
Aluminum E-bay j pipe.
Welded up a custom 3 inch dump exhaust with bullet muffler.
Custom Ecmlink V3 center console plug installed in pop up bin.
Blitz id boost controller , oil pressure and LC-1 guage installed in center vent.
Got some new radiator hoses with T-bolts clamps.
Car is running great.


A few pics of the progress.{coming shortly}

[pos4g63]

Thanks, still have a ways to go but I'm having fun doing it.

 

[SpinningAll4]

Got a crap ton of hail tonight and it f'd up my car pretty good. Im kind of disgusted, need a new winshield, rear window, hood, fenders, tail lights, roof, and wing. I dont know if i want to fix this chasiss or swap everthing into a new one. I may go with awd if i decide to get a new chasiss and throw my motor in it. I was getting ready to get this thing finally on the road. Crappy day

 

[pos4g63]

So I am still on the look out for a good awd chasis but in the mean time im gonna go forward with this car and get the engine set up the way I want it and forget about the cars body.
I picked up a big Holset H1C Saturday, has 54mmX83mm wheel. Havnt decided if I want to go t3 manifold or bep housing, with PR external wasetgate o2 housing.Here it is compared to a TD04 subaru turbo.

 

[pos4g63]

Ive been searching locally for a back glass at a junk yard to no avail. So Im gonna bite the bullet and have a glass company come out and R&R the hatch glass. I just want to drive this thing. In the mean time I have been working on rebuilding my holset H1C. I also polished the compressor inlet and gave it a coat of wrinkle black.
