Default Update on the WRX accident!!!(lots of pics, 56k suck it)

Well you might remember some dumbass hit me about a month ago, here's the link
https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...2175#msg432175 well I got the insurance money, fixed it with my brother-in-law and spend the money on other things. Here are a few pics. We painted the lips and the factory sideskirts.

18"x8" mb motorsports wheels, about 20lbs each w/o tires, not too bad for big wheels, but not light like some others.

rotora slotted rotors with hawk pads.

The car actually spools faster after the FMIC, I think it is because I also got a new intake and the turbo breaths better, but it is spooling a lot faster now. I'm waiting in the mail for an IHI vf-22, the biggest IHI turbo for the WRX, 850cc injectors, walbro, and a turbo xs Utec, then I'll go get it tune. I went with the Utec because I found one cheap, half price and it should put me in the 12's. and the I'll probably break the tranny.

my neglected hatch, I actually said I would not touch the WRX when I bought it and would spend more on the hatch. I did upgrade the turbo and redid the whole kit, but I haven't made a downpipe for it and it's been done for months.

and here's what I would like to work on next. My last name is camino, and this is an 84 El Camino, yeah long joke, all my life. Anyhow It has a v6, I would like to swap in a v8 and turbo it, or just turbo the v6 and see what happens. My dad bought it for $800, and just needs a paint job, decent condition. I'm trying to get him to sell it to me, he want's to restore it, I want to modify it.

No use restoring an 84 el camino cause they are not that cool stock, but modify the ---- out of it and it could be realy cool.

only good things to come from the 80s were turbo transams, crx's, and grand nash's, everything else sucked ( i may be forgetting a few cars, please forgive my drunkenness.

I was gonna say bah, screw the evo, cause I prefer the WRX (solely on looks), then I remembered that my cousin has a 2004 WRX vf34, sti pinks, sti top mount, and 30k miles on the clock. Well ---- blew saturday. haha It started with some pinging, and then it was knocking really bad. He parked it at my house, i advised him to leave it there. Dumbass came later to drive it home, I get a phone call later that night cause he wants company while waiting for the tow truck, I laughed and continued browsing through eBay
