Yea that was my last project.. I really dont want to sell it but i still owe 10k on her lol after a few trips over seas..

My plan was to put away 2k a month untill she is fully paid off and i have 10k in the bank to put into the suby.. Not really keen on oweing 20k on cars..

Oh well ill see how i go..

Cheers Vice

throw in a 6 speed and your set

Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

Plus i've reduced the price on mine as have placed a deposit on a car for the missus.

V7 STI half cut will cost more than 10k... no ifs or buts, as both BMI and ATS told me when I did mine, it is more economical for a importer to break them up and sell them seperately as you get: Engine is 3.5k (minus tmic etc), 6 speed is around 4k (plus you need other bits), brembos are 2k where as a half cut was quoted as more as they want to make $ yeah?

Mines ready to go and you can save $ for a 6spd.

AekOne got a build thread mate ?

And yea iv seen yours darks.. If it was white id prob be all over it.. I had thought about merging yours and mine together then building a NA out of the left overs and selling that..

At the moment dont really have 12k lying around..

And at the end of the day im really after a project.. Something to keep my mind off ladies and beer for a while..

Cheers Vice.

Sure do mate. You can check it out here: http://www.subyclub....-white-unicorn/

It’s not very up to date as I’ve done a bit since last time.

The things that are different to that thread are:

Engine has been rebuilt. Block was prepped by CND engineering and built by XSflow (Eagle Forged Rods, CP Forged Pistons, ARP headstuds, ACL bearings).
KLS TD05-20G Turbo.
3” X-Force Dump Pipe
Haltech E8 removed and replaced with Autronic SM4 (power tune will be done once the run in finished)
In guard CAI with Blitz filter

This is probably the best pic i have of it...

copycat!!

great minds think alike Alex

I've been thinking i really want a restorer project for a while. i'd put a 6 speed in the foz and use it as the daily as well as track it etc and ideally find a decent Karmann Gia or VW 1600 Squareback Wagon

Well after a few referals iv found a 03 GDB STI EJ20-T 6 speed front cut with 54k on the clock for $7500.. Looks like a bank loan is in the works for the remaining funds...

That's incredibly cheap. Buy it, before they realise and jack the price up!

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
