Just curious to know if the 550 cc RC enjectors would fit the 02 WRX engine and how much did it set you back for them?

2.5 years for the best 2.5 RS-T I've seen. Very nicely done. I like the wRX steering wheel. Does the airbag work?

Can a car ever be 100% done?

You have done a great job, best RS I have seen. I wonder if you might consider upgrading the brakes in the future to go along with that turbo.

One of you mods caught my eye: SS Power steering lines. How much of a difference did that make? And in what way? That seems like an interesting angle on how to improve the steering.

What did you do for seat rails for the MOMOs? Do they make rails for the RS?

Done huh?

I second the spats/skirts. I'd also add smoked sidemarkers and red/clear tails. Brakes couldn't hurt either. Sweet car man, I'm jealous.

Thanks guys, I do want to do more mods, but I'm done for about a year, I have to pay off my bills then can start more modding

Brakes will be the next thing I upgrade, that is probably the next major thing, probably either 4pots or a big brake kit. I also have some "secret" stuff in the works for my next upgrade...though that's about a year off until I have pictures

dazz1, Injectors came with the Tec-2. I'm not a WRX guy but I think they fit.

cditto, yes the airbag works. Bought it from SPD tunning.

brucelee, have you ever seen a black car with painted sideskirts, well one of the guys up here has a Black RS with them and they look a little odd, he recommended me not to do them. And I also think the rears spats look a little funky...but the rear of the car is also in with my "secret" stuff

JC, I like orange, that's why I've kept them orange

Dr. WOT, ah yes the steering lines. This is not a mod I would recommend to ANYONE! First they are a pain to get on and off, maybe not so if you don't have a turbo, but with one its REALLY hard to install. Both lines cost as much as one replactment line. So why did I change them? One of the lines was touching my turbo for 6 months straight and eventually rubbed/burned a whole in it. Smoke and fluid was everywhere! It really sucked. Not difference in performance at all, infact now its louder as I think the size was just a little smaller then the stock lines.

A quick sad story too You all see that Sti pink stars badge? My first mod...gone! It fell off a couple of months ago!

How did you mount the deadpedal for the Sti pedals? I've had mine on for about a year and a half and haven't gotten round to putting the deadpedal on yet. Also, what turbo kit is that, or did you fabricate it yourself? My car looks almost like yours minus a different rear spoiler and my SL's are gold. I would recommend the subaru 4pot brakes, they stop great and you can still run 16" snow tires in the winter.
