02.07.2015 – I sold the car in October 2014 after picking up my FRS, but Andrew has since recovered it. His vision is somewhat different than mine though, so between mending various injuries and adding his own flare, the car transforms.
Lame how I can’t leave well enough alone. Once raped, always a whore. It was supposed to stay stock, or at the worst an ultra light tune. It is now the least street able car I have ever tried to street… and it’s all because I was super randy when she was at her most vulnerable. Taking a 3000lb AWD car with 300hp, big scrub radius, welded diff, ultra light flywheel, heavy clutch and no power steering for groceries, is like taking a girl with beads in her ass out to Olive Garden.
Not that the car looks particularly hard tune, or really is even, but I’ve hit it where it counts. At least it drives on ice better than anything else I’ve ever driven… and I’ve driven a LOT of cars on ice.
Plan is to pull the beads out and take her to Church.

Looks pretty tidy. So tidy, in fact, that I think you might run into airflow problems for the radiator and intercooler! A few holes to exhaust hot air might be in order.
To exhaust hot air downwards eh? I have seen that here and there on NASIOC. It’s an idea that goes against the primary concept of a splitter… I’m not sure I’m completely on board, but maybe it’s worth looking into more.
I’ll probably front mount that intercooler and exit air out the top before going down. Silly TMIC… does Subaru really think air goes in that scoop, through the intercooler and out the bottom? I need to do more reading and examining.
