My 04' Subaru, Build thread.

[EklipzGSXkid]

I'm not sure what happen to this thread, I think I edited it by accident'. I am making this thread to keep up with the progress on this subaru and the transformation it will be making.


Anyways. The car is an 04' WRX. I'm building the car and converting it to an 06' STI, To replicate my 06' STI. Don't mind or get confused with the 221 stickers , They are on every car I own as it's been my track number for the past 10 years, And I do not like writing and erasing them constantly making a mess at the track).

Car is getting 06 conversion, built sti motor, every bolt on mod, aspen white paint, ETC ETC ETC. I do all the work in my garage, By myself.

[OMGz Turbo]

Dude do you own the garage or rent it??? Im looking for something like that myself.

Nice project btw

[EklipzGSXkid]

The garage is currently for sale for $100,000 , As that is what it had been appraised at for the garage and the lot it's on. it could fit about 12 or more cars inside and has a basement, bathroom, work room, and a full bar upstairs. 3 garage doors up front, and one in the rear, + 2 man doors. I'm not sure how far you are looking to travel though if you are looking to buy a building. The lot can fit ALOT of cars , At least 50, Although it doesn't look like it from the pictures being you would need to see the big lot behind the garage (Or in front, If you were on the main road looking at the garage I guess you can say).

As always im interested to see where this will go lol your garage is baller

[stover]

what did you pay for the car originally if you don tmind, pm me if you want

[EklipzGSXkid]

I got the car for a bit less then KBB. I bought the car off a personal friend who was not able to afford the payments anymore. I went to the bank and paid his loan off with cash for him and got the title so he no longer had to pay a car payment+ full coverage. The car kbbs' for a bit over 12k currently. When he bought it, He paid alot more for it being he bought it awhile ago, It was still worth alot, And needing a loan for the car made it even more for him when he bought it.

[EklipzGSXkid]

Ray, I'll more then definatly be calling you before it's over! Esp for tuning no matter how far I need to travel being I would not let anyone else tune the car/cars.


SvicksTc: I don't think, But maybe. I have 4 of them.

[EklipzGSXkid]

Thank you for the compliment SvicksTc ! I will update this thread real late tonite or tomorrow a.m with alot of progress. I actually just got the paint. Sorry for another reply, I no longer have an edit button for some reason. There will be alot of updates as I plan to do ALOT tonite!

[Honest_Bob]

Damn, you must really like the 06/07 to be converting an 04, of course I'm a little biased.

[AWDkid]

[SvicksTc]

[laser92dsm]

I can't wait to see where this one goes!!

[97TurboDSM]

in for this. wishing your cash flow was my cash flow lol

[boostedfury]

Damn man another build I am sure that will turn out great. Keep this one updated, bc it is nice to follow a build that someone has done themself and very thoroughly.

[EklipzGSXkid]

Thank you everyone for the comments, I really appreciate them! I have other projects going on at the same time, But I will keep with this one and update it and not lose interest. Honset bob: I really do like the 06/07 for some reason, And in aspen white. I have two 04/05 body conversions on two cars of mine at my garage if you know anyone else that likes, And wants theh 04/05 body conversion being I would remove/sell all of it.



Updates as of last nite are.

I got a new 6-puck unsprung clutch, And a Lightweight flywheel.


I ended up getting a pair of 06 sti sideskirts at 1am from a local new subaru owner who I gave/installed some mods on his car, For the sideskirts... so now I don't need to order them through the dealer, And I don't need to wait.



I also forgot to mention, The motor going in the car is a 2.5 sti bottom end, That is fully built.


I will be throwing on a rotated GT35R with a billet wheel, Or an 18g. (I know, Big difference, But as I said I don't know until I bolt one or the other on).

Ready to be sealed




I got the car primed and ready for paint. I plan to paint the car tonight (Aspen white). I was there until almost 4am this a.m from yesterday... So I forgot to get pictures before I left of it in primer. Tonight, I will hopefully update with pictures of the car painted!

So far I have now gathered:

-Built sti motor
-35r with billet wheel, And an 18g (Not sure what is going on yet)
-6puck clutch unsprung, Lightweight flywheel
-Perrin fuel rails, ss lines, ETC
-Larger injectors
-Walbro fuel pump
-boost/fuel pressure/oil pressure/aem wideband gauges
-TurboXS utec delta 2.0
-Full 06' STI body conversion
-sti 6disc cd player

-TurboXS 3" exhaust
-TurboXS mbc
-cross drilled/slotted rotors with better pads
-New aftermarket shocks/lowering springs.
-non-reclinable race seats with fiberglass backings.
