[IheartSTI]

At this point i was not sure how i was going to go about the rebuild but i was starting to get some jdm thinking going on. while i decided how to sorce some special parts i worked on the teardown. I took out the motor and had all the timing components checked to be safe and also it gave me much more room to work on the engine bay.





I just could not stand the idea of having a stockish 04 sti. I wanted to do something unique. everyone around town seems to drive a stage 2 sti and just could not take it. I sourced a jdm v7 front clip. some of you might ask why i did not do a v8 and my answer is they are way harder to find and basically the same. v7 jdm sti used avcs so i have all the wiring for it with the front clip. i was going to keep the v8 front end but all the parts that i needed from the wreck came with the clip so i decided to go bugeye.
