            07 STi owner named Marc, yeah I know him! Super great guy and does amazing bodywork. Puts a lot of car into everything he does. Also details cars like you would not believe. Met him through the collision shop he used to work at. Do you know him?

              Yeah. I used to goto school with him. He is also on my FB. He posted some pics over the summer with his car and yours. I recognized your car from one of the pictures.

                  Yeah, this looks like the way to go! Thanks for the heads up on this one. So Here is how it's looking now for the next stage:
                  FP HTA68
                  Deatschwerks 650 injectors
                  Aeromotive In-Tank Stealth 340 fuel Pump
                  One Step Coolder Plugs (possibly Denso Iridiums)
                  ACT Clutch (yet to be determined, need it to be slippable)
                  World Famous Alex open source tune

                  Will also do my timing belt while we're at it and put a Cosworth one on.

                    Welcome, nice looking ride. I think ur most resent goals will be the best set up for ur car and power goals. From what I've seen the hta68 on a 2.0 is gonna be one of the best dd turbos. Wait till you hear the turbo spool. So far I have had extremely good luck with my fp turbo, and I bought mine used.

                      OK,
                      I have been totally slacking on putting up my posts to get to the magic 10. So time to get busy. A few updates on my car:
                      Timing belt and water pump have now been changed in prep for the next mod round. Went with the Power Enterprises Timing belt. It's listed as 300% stronger than stock, has a good racing heritage and was almost $100 less expensive than Cosworth and $130 less than an OEM STi belt. So far so good.

                      I also now own an STi TMIC from my friend marc's 2006 Rex. He has an FMIC going in his but discovered a crack. So I've loaned him back the TMIC and am now waiting for him to finsish his install and then it will go back in my car.

                      Have not been able to get my hands on the Aeromotive 340 in tank fuel pump so I'm now gonna do the Deatschwerks DW300 in tank fuel pump along with the 650 injectors. Turbo is the same FP HTA68 and tune will still come from Alex.

                      OK Suggestions for a clutch? Want it slippable like stock but good enough clamping force. HP goals are around 350whp. Alex? Tourque?

                              So I have not been here in a while but for good reason. I was working on my next set of upgrades (getting all the parts together) and then a fuel line let go in the engine bay while I was driving. I think it was the line to the #4 injector and pissed fuel all over the exhaust manifold instantly catching fire. Literally within the span of second flames were shooting out of the passenger side front wheel well and the aluminum hood started buckling in. I pulled over quickly and when I stopped the flames shot about 8-10 feet into the air over the car. Police and Fire responded quickly as I was in my own town. 5 minutes at best, but it was too late. the fire even progressed through the firewall into the cabin and the car was a total write off. So I now have a new project: 2011 WRX Impreza in lightning red. More to come soon.
