I am sure I did not include everything here as there are millions of other things I did to the car.

Feel free to ask me any questions, except the question about how much I spent. I will tell you now, I have no clue. I work at a tunning shop, I have few sponsorships and I do all my own work. So, I am not sure and I in all honesty I don't wanna know.

eh Alex nice care, primo! Just wondering how you like the all Cusco suspension, highly considering that route. Also where did you get your Tit. Cusco exhaust? is it all Titanium? Some pics would be nice/specs would be nice too. Since you work at tuning shop can you get a deal? Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thanks Sorry if I asked for too much.

My dad works in San Rafael, off Francisco lol. I bought my car at Marin Subaru.

Oh forgot just wanted to say Congrats!

Of course. PM me for "deals".
The exhaust is CUSCO. 75mm. Full Ti. Weights about 10.5lbs.

I love my CUSCO's. I actually switched back to a cuscom set after I had ZERO Sports Winnings. They are amazing coilovers.

I am shooting for 350hp on 91 octane on Shiv's Dyno. Thats 400 dynojet wheel hp.

Last time I dynoed it it gave me 312wheel hp, which isn't ehough. However, I had a dimpy downpipe that the T67 kit comes with (2.25-2.5") and AVCS pulleys were on the car but deactivated.

Apperantly, the AVCS does funky stuff to intake timing when deactivated. I thought it would just hold it steady, but it was floating all over the place killing the top end. So, the AVCS pulleys were removed and regular cam pulleys were installed.

Also, the downpipe is now a nice 3" all the way through.

And, the VISHNU uppipe + the uppipe adataper that came with the T67 kit were swapped for a uber cool one peice BOZZ Speed unit.

So, I should be close to my target.

Sweet ride. Would certainly be nice to put a name with the face come May. We'll be running at Sears point with the One Lap of America. Any chance you could swing by?

Just curious, whats the positive things about reversing the intake manifold? Shorter piping for IC piping?

car is crazy, and i think I might go with a lot of stuff from CUSCO!
by the way, also where would I be able to get CUSCO stuff, I used to deal with GReddy and they get it, but id rather have more options on where else I can get CUSCO products from.
Thanx!
