Tranny work. Poss injectors, turbo, nitrous, propane… But probably a new 2.5 car attached garage, fresh blacktop and a patio in the back with some new french doors. ---

Slicks, maybe some weight reduction, the biggest goal I have is, to do some dyno pulls, and break into the 11’s…wishful thinking. Dreaming, maybe get a turbo setup. ---

The rushed wiring from the initial crunch to take the car from stock to race ready in 3 days is being cleaned up. Other cleanup i.e. dash plate for digital dash, relays and power blocks consolidated etc. Legacy turbo front brakes -\> stock STi Brembo front brakes so I can stop at Dunville replace my injectors that were crapping out with new ones 6 point cage -\> 10 point cage My car will be very close to last year. I’ll be running a bit less power this year due to running lower boost and with the extra weight from the cage additions I’ll be a little slower, but I’m not worried about it. I’ll still street drive it, it will still run 10’s when I want to, and I’ll still be turning the boost down to spring pressure on the road courses because that’s more power than I can use. The STi stock block is having bore distortion issues so if I push it the block and/or pistons will fail. Sadly I never got to crank the boost up like I wanted to, but I have to take it easier as I don’t want to spend money on an engine buildup. In the future I’d like to add more oil cooling, rear diff cooling, brake ducting, aero, etc., but my main focus will be getting better at driving what I already have. I need a lot of seat time on road courses to get a handle on this beast.
