I test drove a WRX a few years ago. I think I only got into boost like one. So the answer is no. This car made me smile when it was a un-tuned NA car. Im sure the money and time put in will be well worth it.

lol
i dunno how u drive but if u don’t drive with 2hands on the wheel except to shift, then start making it a habit…1 handed boost driving = not safe

I like them. Ill be getting new rubber once its back on the road!
[/quote]
Yeah, they look good, I was just wondering. They will look even better with good rubber too.
Here’s a pic, pre turbo build, for those who are following this, obviously it’s the green one

I removed the stock oil cooler so I wanted to have something to do some cooling. Between the larger oil pan and cooler Im worried about getting warmed up. I might have to add a thermostat down the road.
The mfactory is a real nice kit!

So after I busted a spindle I had to find and buy a new one. You have to really not know what you’re doing to bust one btw! I cleaned them up hammered out the old ball joins and pressed out the wheel bearings and hubs.
Then clean and wire wheeled the hubs, pressed in the new wheel studs
Next I have to press in the new ball joins and wheel bearings. Then the dust shield last the hub.
Here is what im working on for those seals. Im going to counter bore one side for the rubber and the other for the plastic pilot ring. This will clamp them in so I can drill em

I tried wedging the injectors in and they tour? Ill try this and see if it works
I thought this stud project would only cost me the price of the studs. Then I figured out you have to press the hubs out of the spindle in order to press the studs out. Then I found out that you cant press out the hubs with out ruining the wheel bearings. Then since I never used a 60 tone press before nor disassembled spindles I pressed the hub and bearing together right through the snap ring that you cant see unless you press the hub out first. So this has been a 300 dollar party including 2 new lower ball joints, 2 new wheel bearings and a used spindle.
BTW I have a extra set of hubs 4sale!
