I actually drove through on Thursday, but I didn't see any Subaru people so I left. Turns out soon2bgreat was actually there and saw me, he called my cell, but I didn't have it on me.
Yup, I have the AVCS hooked up, but it's not something you feel like VTEC, it's more transparent because it's on all the time, plus with the turbo you don't notice much else. I punched it in first today and spun all 4 tires even though I was already going like 15mph. I wasn't expecting that.

Wow looks good! I'm jealous.

Steve and his guys over there are great.

Was it a JDM 2.0 or USDM 2.5?

If it is a JDM any issues smogging it when the time comes?

How much for the engine and install?

It's possible to legalize the JDM engine and get a BAR sticker for it.

my cousin has a JDM B18C1 (gsr?) that is smog legal and a lot of people are getting BAR stickers for their JDM motor. I made a post on i-speed's forums about it. You will most likely have to run all the US spec emmisions equipment, and US ECU.
