hi guys, so after a few things happend im now driving a gc8 wrx and the wagon is no long with us. 

the wagon got picked up by the cops and defect badly so i sat down, looked at the car as it was almost out of rego, and had some rust etc, so i decided to look for a new shell and ended up with a very clean gc8 wrx. When i picked up the car it already had a few nice mods and motors and only 40,000km on the motor so its a nice base for my build.......

The motor has been built and running in the wagon for nearly 2 years now and going strong.
The H beam rods we used are rated to 900hp so i dont think we will have a issue with them, what ej20 will ever get near that power hahahaha

yea soon soon, am running a trackday in May on the current motor as the built one requires new heads to be built to suit the 2000 as they are 98 heads, going for some bigport sti heads and cams with titanum springs/retainers etc etc

I had wondered what happened to the wagon, I suddenly stopped seeing it when walking up to work... Nice wrx though man

its still laying in the front yard as wreck. Where do you work man?

[V3nomous]

Just up the top of the hill across from col Crawford's...

[Ben_20EJT]

Sadly ive had a setback, due to not wanting to roll guards to make wheels fit the sti wheels and brembos cant be used. So no test fitting wheels and looking at a pair of wrp10 wheels and getting 2pot rear calipers

[Matt]

Why wouldn't you want to roll guards? You wouldn't have to pump them would you?

[Ben_20EJT]

Why wouldn't you want to roll guards? You wouldn't have to pump them would you?

as they sit now, they are flush and im going widetrack so another 12mm per side so they will poke

[Matt]

Ah ok...seems a shame to ditch brembos
