not too sure of the power level yet, haven't had it dyno'd. it's faster than a stock STi though. I'd like to buy some wheels, for looks and for functionality. I've got a set of TT front brakes I need to install (quickly ) But I just haven't found any in my price range just yet.

Don't lower it too much. The intercooler pipe appears to be hanging pretty low there.

probably not too much. If I put a GReddy lip on it will cover it up. I'm probably planning on 20" of either the WORK Meister SP2 or VS-KF or 19" Volk TE-37's. lowered on Tein CS or FLEX. just enough to get it closer to the ground. Definately NOT going the VIP way of slamming it right to the ground. Thanks for all the positive comments so far guys. really appreciate it.

excellent work and mad props to you! few suggestions would be to replace the front bumper with something a lil cleaner (but you're already planning that so never mind), wheels and a drop. but i think your car is pretty freakin sweet.

No doubt. lol even the exhaust is super quiet. At WOT It's even quieter that the HKS Hi-Power I used to have. That's Ok, sooner or later I'll have a better front bumper to semi-disguise it.

Thanks. My butt dyno tells me that I'm right around stock hp output right now. So the tranny is holding pretty good. 14psi through the T78 and no slippage . . . yet lol
