so today was the day, after all the hard work and problems and headaches,..i wanted to see what would happen,..

well turned the key and NOTHING!, i think a wire is loose or bad ignitio switch,..after messing with stuff for about a hour we decided to try and jump it from the relay under the hood,..

and this is what happened,...yeaaaaa, this thing sounds absolutly REDICULOUS,..we were 3 feet from each other screaming and still could not hear,..this videos are at idle (800)

So gas goes up and you build a cammed V8 car.

And you KNOW you love your WRX.

jimtweet · 06-22-2008, 10:23 PM

haha, i still cant believe,...

i bought a 2.5 gallon gas can, had it filled with 93,...and in the time it took to break in (25 minutes), and those 3 videos combined,...maybe another 5 minutes, AT IDLE, it used all that gas, we ran out,...hahahaha, can someone say 9 miles to the gallon?

the mike · 06-22-2008, 10:37 PM

Whatever, we don't build them to be reliable, fuel efficient cars. We build them to scare the neighbors, raise our insurance rates, and give us whiplash. Leave the rest to the MPG draggers.

SoStock92 · 06-22-2008, 11:13 PM

Cool build but I don't think a 302 is going to give ya whiplash

Looks good though

jimtweet · 06-23-2008, 08:55 AM

it should be around 380hp 350ft/lbs, i dont know, that is what i am being told by the builder,...
