SWEET!

How much extra did the shop charge you to change colors? Engine compartment and all?

I was thinking about changing colors on my 4th gen?

Re: from broke to dope...a 5th gen's resurrection! (preludeez)

the paint is a custom color match of the playstation 2 blue box...
paint was included in the price...they just masked the engine and sprayed...it came out amazing...

as far as dynoed...it is in the shop right now being built and a new turbo is being installed...should be home in like 2 weeks...than i am looking to maxing it out on pump gas(93 octane)

probably will net me like 375whp on a conservative tune...

we'll see though

375 whp? How many pounds of boost are you running? Is the motot built? Any specs? What trim turbo are you using?

nice job, why don't you give us a quick run down of what it took for you to fix it, and what it cost you w/o the turbo kit.

Re: from broke to dope...a 5th gen's resurrection! (iwhichisme)

from what i can see you did a hell of a job on that car. but damn, 15k in it? thats way too much, 4500 is a little steep for a salvage car. a friend of mine bought an sti with 3500 miles on it for 5k (front end damage/airbags). fixed everything with all Subaru parts and still only has 13k in it.
