ive got a better intake, and then the UEL's and a free flowing exhaust. so its going to be slightly more aggressive than stock. But nothing under 250whp to me is even on the verge of fast.

I've had wrx's and sti's in the past. My current turbo car is a baja.
If you can get away with catless where you live, do that, other wise buy a highflow catted bellmouth downpipe, uppipe, and catback exhaust and get a good tune you'll have a whole new beast capable of 25+ mpg and breaking into the 12 second quarter miles.

nice job on the box (oh and the build too) That box will serve you well I bought the same one almost 30 years ago and its still works and looks as good as the day i bought it

yeah i've always been a diehard craftsman fan. My old box is still perfect, but i really wanted something much larger, I either had to many tools, or too small of box. Decided on the later lol. and the ball bearing slides i just fell in love with. It was finally time for an upgrade. Can't wait to get it in the shop now.

if you can go catless on the downpipe, honestly ebay. 100 bucks for a downpipe, you cant beat it. If you have to go catted, any of the name brands. perrin, turboxs, etc.

for the uppipe, just go ebay catless/sti catless. (the uppipe doesnt need a cat to pass emissions)

for the catback. i always go custom, its way cheaper. buy the muffler you want, and the cat you want (if needed) and take it to a muffler shop, get a custom 2.5/3" exhaust welded up.

Well guys, this is going to the second to the last update for a while... (next one is super minor)

I've got some legal issues that might cost me my license for a year, and if thats the case i wont be racing :/
and in the market for a new diesel, so between layer fee's to try and keep my license and the truck, rally car money is going to be tied up for the next few months. Hopefully by spring time i can focus on getting back to the car and finishing it. and making it in time for the first race in May, But priorities first...

No, made a very poor choice working on a friends car one night, had a drinnk and drove home afterwards. wasnt drunk by any means, but that doesnt matter much. Got nabbed for my tweaking out tail lights, and caught a duii for blowing the legal limit right on the dot :/
