It's all dry now and it looks almost identical to buddies 2011 Sti manifold it goes flat. All piping will also be wrinkle red when done. Gonna set tgvs and intake manifold on for now to get piping made still waiting on the gaskets.

Thanks for postin for me lol the rims are 18x9.5 38 offset Rota grids in hyper silver which need a re paint. The trunk looks horrible right now I did it and wasn't happy with it so sanding it smoother and re paint soon.

Time for some flares. I think they would look killer on a yellow bugeye.

Should fit just fine, I'm running 245 45 18 with no nifty camber work done.

Well I bought these grids knowing paint was flaking off so I'm gonna paint them and want some input on color I'm gonna list my choices.
1- gold
2- silver
3- flat black
4- white
5- dark grey

Also some of u might have been following the peanut project well he's a good friend of mine and we have made s deal I'm gonna pull my motor and gonna swap it into his car and we are gonna find me a 2.5 short block and get the 2.0 heads ported and polished and what ever other work needs to be done to them. Then I need to figure what cams to go with and everything else.

I also bought some Jdm headlights and a different grill hopefully getting a Jdm hood scoop also soon I will post pics once I get them. I'm getting excited for this build

Tonight turned into a very Productive night got my car apart and motor and trans out. We got motor and trans into the peanut project lol. Now next for me is find a good 2.5 short block and do some reading as to why or what I have to do to run 2.5 heads. I'm also thinking wire tuck and shave fire wall and other stuff as long as things go as planned

Catalyst · « **Reply #65 on:** October 23, 2011, 10:37:13 PM »

i am really liking the way you have decided to go!!!!!!

but I'm curious as to what is happening with the rotated manifold you were going to do, I'm guessing that got dismissed?

Yeah man, it will be one he'll of a process. But jhonny boy will "git er dun"

I'm pretty jacked myself to see it come together, that along with the wire tuck is going to make that thing one clean bugeye

Jesse.Korpan · « **Reply #69 on:** October 23, 2011, 11:07:41 PM »

out of all the times ive come down there i think ive only ever seen that car together once lol

WhiteRex · « **Reply #70 on:** October 23, 2011, 11:14:19 PM »

Ya rotated manifold still a go for sure that will be the fun same wire tuck. Thanks Jesse lol it's always an on going project hopefully only 1 more thing after this will be 6 speed and brembros. Doing lots of research and talking to a couple friend who recently posted here about there hybrid motors wanna do it right and strong it's gotta last.

Jesse.Korpan · « **Reply #71 on:** October 23, 2011, 11:25:21 PM »

do the hybrid like i did mine man. close your eyes hit buy on random parts and pray to the turbo gods that it comes out OK in the end lol . But still its one hell of a project it'll be good when ( read if ) you finally decide its finished. I guess i can just keep buying parts off you too

YvanF · « **Reply #72 on:** October 24, 2011, 09:52:38 AM »

I like the direction your taking. Im definetly going to stock this build page as it is something I am contemplating for my WRX.

Zaider · « **Reply #73 on:** October 24, 2011, 02:02:06 PM »

I like the project. I've heard theres some issues with heat buildup on hybrids at the interface between the 2.0L heads and the 2.5L block. Since they dont meet up exactly right, its a hotspot.

Not saying it happens all the time, but it might be something to look into.

WhiteRex · « **Reply #74 on:** October 24, 2011, 02:44:17 PM »

Thanks guys ya I have read about heat issue some guys use thicker head gaskets to help
