Well my plan was to get my SC back on the road before I bought another car, but a local STi popped up for sale and I could not pass it up.

My new to me 2005 STi





Being towed home due to blown turbo


said turbo:


And my new VF39:



Also picked up a set of OEM BBS wheels to get rid of those Rotas:



Plan for this car is to get it pretty much back to stock minus a few things. I want this to be my "fun" daily driver. Only down side is that the SC wont get quite a much love, but none of my plans have changed for it.

Thanks!
Rick

 

What was the turbo that was blown?

My old Subaru (05 Legacy GT w/ HTA Green turbo):



I may consider another one in the future. Probably find one already modded just to save on the costs

 

and this thread is in the SC section for ????????

Just messing with you.. Post a picture of the SC on hold to make it more interesting.. :-)

 

Nice! I think I remember seeing that in another thread, very clean. And I bought a semi-moded one, but an trying to take it back to stock haha. I did buy an Accessport for it, but when installing the turbo I noticed the the AVCS hard line had a small hose, so now I am waiting on a stainless line kit. Hoping to have it up and running in 4-5 days. The turbo that was on there was a TD05-16G.

Anyway, here is my SC which you can follow in my build thread. I actually worked on it a bit today, but no pics of the progress.

Nice Scooby, congrats on your pickup...poor SC, lol. But seriously, I love the paint! On a side note. I have a 1:24 scale STI that's for sale? PM if interested??

 

Nice they can be fun cars, I grew out of mine though. Had an 04 STi for 5 years...

 

Damn your doing work on that sc! Nice pick up on the STI as well, I my self have had 5 evo's evo1 3 evo 8's and an evo 9 then I bought a supra and it was game over for me Lol

 

Yeah the SC's progress is slow right now, but hopefully it should not be too much longer before it is back on the road. And I think this is my 13th Subaru LOL. Most have been 93-95 Imprezas with the version 1-2 WRX engine swap, this is actually my first STi. I have wanted one since 04 and it only took me 8 years to get one LOL.

Thanks guys!
