besthaticouldo's 2011 wrx sedan

[besthaticouldo]

Thanks guys, I've owned a lot of cars. From SVT Focus, V70Rs, lifted jeeps, etc. This is by far and away my favorite car.

Gorgeous car! Love everything about it. I can't wait to get a wrx later in life when I have the cash flow.

Love it!

Car's getting built for 450, really as a daily and a street car that's all I'd ever want. Right now it's basically getting drop in pistons, head studs, gaskets, and a timing belt. It has short ratio JDM gears, with 360 it's quick enough.

Plus, this is a budget build because I don't want downtime. We'll be building a different block at another time. Probably a destroked 2.34L with a 8500rpm rev limit, cams, and a rotated PTE BB turbo set up. When we do all that we'll do SpecB long 4th,5th,6th gears. That'll be when I have another car and can afford the downtime. Right now this is my only vehicle.

20G is a damn good daily turbo, I think quite underestimated on the 2.5L subarus, with the proper hot side, a small PNP, and an EWG it's definitely adequate.

Bags have been amazing. I love them a lot.

If you're building the motor why not up to a bigger turdo as well?

[SLMDGEE]

Bags was your best choice!

love it. this is one beautiful subi dude

nice progress man, love the new wheels. sucks about the tranny and then motor, but more power will be nice im sure.

Thanks guys, it's all good. Got a nice escape as a rental...got wheels turning in my head for a new ride for the wife too. 425whp will be insanely nice for a daily. The car was fun with 360whp, now I have no concerns about pushing it a bit more on the 20G.

Those are the update pics.

Since then, I have destroyed 3rd gear in my 5spd. Went to a JDM V7 6spd. Then blew my head gaskets, byproduct of the head studs stretching. So car is now going to be getting a built motor and a 20G and shooting for 415/425 on E85.

I haven't posted in here in over a year.

Tons of mods have happened. It's currently on KW V3s and Advan RG-Ds 18x9 and 265/35/18 Nitto NT05

Did an 09 STi front end conversion, bunch of JDM shit. Running E85 and making 360/390 on the stock turbo at 18psi.

Here's some pics.
