Ha, those STi chops were done by someone here in Ottawa. He does a lot of work with local car pics.

On to the WRX, that's a package with a lot of potential but you should do a lot of research before modding it up. Unlike a D16 or even a B series you can't get a new motor from the local grocery store and parts are quite expensive compared to hondas.

I can't wait to get my STi running again... For now I'm getting an old school legacy turbo and throwing the STi heads on it.

well the sti spanks the wrx. lol.

also, just up the boost to about 15.5 and go with it. i think the estock fuel cut off is like 17 psi. lol. also, dont ever get a fucken utec piggyback. worst pos. no point when a safc2 will do the job better and withoiught giving you headaches.

plus upgrade the fuel system. imean its a real priority in wrx's, cus it tends to run lean on #3 and some ---- like that.

My OBD2 datalogger uses that same serial port wire to connect to my laptop. Does it look like an add on or does it look OEM?
