Got the new engine reassembled and dropped on tonight! Going to be doing final assembly tomorrow and hopefully firing her up!

Why are you using a dildo for a shifter?

Well I finally got time between work, life, my other car, etc to work on this and I now have an engine again! Just need some coolant and a new battery and hopefully she'll fire up!

So I have been trying to get this thing started finally and I've hit a "road block". I have everything hooked up and have been trying to start it up. It cranks fine but doesn't start. It will crank over and over but never starts. After cranking the engine and stopping the engine makes a sound that I don't really know how to explain. My brother hooked up his Mac Tools obd2 scantool and this is what he found. The engine is getting spark and fuel but will not start. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)!

You're sure the car is getting fuel? It could be the fuel pump, no?

Sold my V5 STI spoiler to a friend(Dylan780) and changed my plans a bit. Put the oem GC8 buckets in the RS and the V7 STI seats in the GC8. Will be swapping coils that are on the gc8 for lowering springs it currently has this weekend! Starting on bodywork soon after then I'll be happy with it(for now).

Thanks! Did a 22b hood vent install, been hanging onto these for the better part of 2 years. Also put my side skirts back on.

Took her "off roading" and had a blast! Put the V7 STI seats back in! Currently fixing and repainting the V5 wing off the GC8 and going to be mounting it onto the RS.

Well recently been moving back into the fiancé's mom's house to save up some money to buy our own place and I get dibs on the garage! Should start my body work soon! She's now on Yokohoma S-Drives on my old GC8's wheels!


Also got myself an amazing daily that I'm LOVING!

Got a rear roof spoiler for her! Now have to fix the rust, mount flares, paint and mount the V5 wing, and attach mudguards and rally armors.

Well the car is no where near where I thought it would be this year but already have plans on fixing everything at the end if the season so I'm super excite! Definitely going to be a new car next year! Here is a picture of her at her first show(Legitsociety Slowdown Sunday).

Finally got my brakes done yesterday after a long time of putting it off! Now onto rear diff, fuel filler neck, exhaust and some rust as she is now my only car again!
