I wanted the sleeper look so no body work has been done besides adding a mesh grill and removing all badges.

My personal favorite part that I put on this car is the exhaust. It's a custom full 3" exhaust from xcceleration.com with perrin headers and downpipe.

The part I like is that it has a manual exhaust dump so i can go from street legal to track ready in the flip of a switch. And since i live in NY where nothing at all is legal it comes in very handy. check it out for yourself.

This is a video of the subie when i first got it....just messin around.

I then blew the engine and had to rebuild so I started with Pauter 4340 Chrome-Moly Forged Rods and CP Custom Forged Pistons accompanied by axis stage 1 head work.

To make this baby move I went with a Garret GT35R and Tial 44mm External wastegate. Boost is controlled by a HKS Electronic Valve Controller.
