Some more photos, let me hear your opinions about the build...

Little bit color for the Intake manifold:

Before:










Fueling Issue:

Had the Walbro 250LPH, little bit gentle for high specs for my opinion,
Moved to the Bosch 023 In-Tank Fuel Pump :





Need to have some modification for the fuel tank holder first,

OK !!!
Time for Brakes , Suspension , Wheels , Tires & Drivetrain:

Remember the broken gear ?


So i decided to go with STI ver.5 RA type gearset,
If this will broke as well,
I will go with STI 03 6SPD Gearset ( KILLING GEARBOX !!! )







STOCK susspension is CRAP !
Making my car bounce and move back and forward when i change gears at full throtle
( better not mention the cornering issues ... )

So... Moved to Tein SuperStreet !!! HAHA !

This is how the STOCK susspensio and brake caliper look like:

WITH THE EDFC : ( Electronic Damping Force Controller )





the motors:








So probablly will have nice power, and probablly will control it by the TEIN and tires ( tire pics soon...)
now the car needs to be able to STOP !!!!


So ... Stock Brakes:





Upgraded to Prodrive 330mm BIG BRAKE KIT:







PRODRIVE BRAKES WITH O.Z Superleggera Wheels !! ( need to fit for the BIG brakes )







StopTech Stainless steel brake lines of course !!
