Just got this 850 T5 off one of my fathers previous customers with a blown head gasket.  Rebuilt top end and some visual modds.  Just Installed a full OBX SS TurboBack Exhaust, which opened up the car quite a bit.  Just installed the "R" Bumper which brings out the front end nicely.  Next will be the "R" wing before I park it for the winter, which it will then undergo a 5-speed swap with Spec Clutch, possibly paint, NA Cams/porting, Bigger Turbo and updated software for next year.
