Nice progress !

I will return one day.
how does it feel Jesse ? better than before ? smoother ? fill us in smile.gif

my st205 swapandour Beams swap
yes smoother when she pulls and if im not mistaken the turbo kicks a little bit sooner but not too much. the stock gt exhaust is still holding her back though tongue.gif

its a little louder too and you can hear the turbo better biggrin.gif
ahh, wish i was smart enough to do tons of engine work..

long thick wires
Do you happen to have any pics of the battery relocation? I'm really interested in doing this in mine but I have no clue where to start. Thanks! BTW, car looks great!

1998 Toyota Celica GT2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi2007 Toyota Tacoma 4x41974 Datsun 260Z1997 Subaru Legacy L WagonKind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet.
What i did was buy long jumper cables something like 16 feet or 24 or something.. anywho i cut off both ends and ran the double wire through the car. its something like 4 gauge or 2 its pretty thick...

anywho now i have it grounded to the old grounds up front as well as in the trunk... overkill but worth it in my opinion. but if you ground it welll in the trunk you should be fine as long as the grounds up front arre secure

actually she runs a LOT better, spacing the hood like that helped a ton, i haven't gone into safe mode since!! and fixing my vac lines at the drag strip helped, she feels smoother now. I think its because i had a closed valve off the fuel rail when it should have been an open vacuum
get that front mount on there asap!

quick update

im at my buddys on his lift working etc. so far i have the spearco mounted to the crashbar, ive welded the flange onto the ic pipes and ive routed the pipes, but i gotta extend a pipe about 4 inches which should be fun. (im fairly new to welding and just getting the hang of it)

but i also finished tucking the relay box while the bumper was off and now that corner of the engine bay is completly clear except for my hidden filler neck for the washer fluid!

pics soon!
wow that intercooler is badass that **** is gonna look badass installed!!!!

BANNED. for life, you moron.
Your car has come a long way, great thread. Can't wait for more pics
