I fully approve of what is going on here.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

I have the reverse problem.
Bits fot the wife's cars stashed in cupboards and cluttering up my garage..

Not a bad problem to have by all accounts.

Had to custom fit the gd ecu mount to the rs....as some of the bolts went into the chassis rail I had to drill and tap some holes to hold it firmly. ..came up pretty oem looking I must say....also due to the wiring splice the loom to the ecu is much shorter...as the loom usually loops under the ecu and plugs in the other side...al said it wouldnt fit like this...but after I flipped the ecu 180 degrees and re-formed the wiring it fit perfectly!

See..looks like its supposed to be there

Dash loom in..minus mounting the fuel pump controller and alarm

Had to plug up the body holes after I removed the heavy plugs along with the sound deadening....used some thin alloy and some horrible to work with auto sealant....looks worse than it is

The old wrx loom is in there somewhere?

These are the cosworth tgv deletes I scored...will go on over the weekend hopefully!

Hmm, perhaps I should reword. The least procrastinating build, as in you've not stopped in between mods, it's just been continuous, little chance for it to stagnate.

Either way I like it, and keen to see more.

Liking the progress Matt.

Awesome job so far.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

"My eye is watering, this might be a bit hot"

I should just convert to single, right?
