Hello all I'm new to the forum and the turbo world. When I say money pit I don't mean it in a bad way, but as you fallow my build u will understand. I'll try to post pics later from my iPad but on my phone its hard.
To start with I bought a 2004 rally blue Subaru WRX 5speed.The miles are a little high @170k but body is rust free and damage free,a really clean stock car. A kid had bought car from original owner for $9000+ running in seemingly topnotch condition. This kid had some really bad luck about 3 months later. Raced a friend with cold motor and spun a rod bearing.
It took me 3 months but I bought the car for 2600.00.and bought a OEM short block for $2300.00 And sent the heads to the machine shop $750.00 after all this is where I go crazy.
