Project RS

doesn't really involve my car, but i had a chance to rip apart an STi limited yesterday, #65 as a matter of fact.

the owner and friends were taking off valuable parts before it goes to the scrap yard and i offered my help. it had a GT35R, open dump, titanium exhaust, perrin FMIC, sways, and A032R comps on OZ wheels among other things. the poor owner's brother was driving the thing on the street (have no idea why the r comps were mounted for that) and hit full boost on a ramp. put it sideways into the armco with less than 300 miles on the whole setup hock: the owner was....depressed.

we had 3 hours to strip it down and replace stuff with the stock parts and it was pretty cool to just go nuts on the thing. i would have loved to be a vulture but all the parts were spoken for already and we were out of time to chat it up and maybe pick a few more parts off.

all i can say is DAMN, a 35R is a bigass turbo. like scary big. you guys with that kind of power are crazy.
