Figured I should probably start a build thread... will try and post more pictures of everything.

First, the day I bought it

New Duratrack tires installed

Towing our cars to race at Putnam Park a few years ago

Towing the track car to race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway two years ago

Headlights restored and covered with 3M clear bra by Eastside Autospa

Reverse backup camera installed

2.5RSTi was a dream build of mine when I had my 2003 Sonic Yellow WRX Bugeye. Great car but had its issues at 180K miles. Happy to be in a 4th Gen T4R now but looking to get a NA or NB miata as a 2nd/fun car.

You should have kept it! Cool to see former Subaru owners here!

Finally received the Doug Thorley premium V8 all stainless headers today!

Also have URD y-pipe, URD catback, front replacement Eibach shocks (one is leaking bad) and all four Eibach springs. Should handle and sound way better soon!

Keep us updated on your DT install and results.
Thanks!
Those headlights look WOW!

How's the towing performance with the new Eibach springs installed?

Haven't towed anything yet with the new springs installed. Unfortunately I need to take the front suspension off and adjust, it is too high in the front

Hey! I was wondering what lift setting you had your Eibach shocks set too before you installed the springs. I love the look and also have Duratac tires, so I'd like mine to look pretty similar hahaha. Not too many people seem to have the Eibach shocks, but I hear they ride a little smoother than the 5100's, what do you think? Great build by the way!
