I'm a fan, you've somehow managed to turn one of the ugliest cars into one that doesn't look half bad ;) Plus it's fast!

Yea, my head is the bottle neck on my setup right now. Id need a cam and a Ej207 head to free things up. USDM subaru heads are the big bottleneck on the ej's

Thank you! Thats a big complement for a car known as the Rally Pig.

I bet she gargles nice.
She swallows too :lol:

Woah you're still alive? You fell off the face of the earth there for a while :lol:.
I did! But for good reason. I got a job at Honda/Acura R&D as an engineer for the new NSX.
