I followed Dave and his GTX rally build in the past. Glad to see he has upped his game quite a bit!

Build looks great!

Bimmubishi · 03-26-2009, 07:33 PM

TR30R!!! Dave must be happy!

jdubya301 · 03-26-2009, 07:50 PM

is it safe to have a surge tank/fuel pump underneath a rally car?

Btw, I love the detail on the header with the AMS Logo.

Im not saying they shouldnt post. Im saying they should post more suby associated material. Im probably the only one that responded on this thread that actually shops and visits AMS in person. (so relax all you brown nosers, you wont get a discount from AMS for sticking your nose into their back side)

Like we have said in the past. If people are willing to bring their Subaru here to get a build like this done we would be GLAD to. These cars are not funded by AMS. These are people that are spending their hard earned money with us to help them build a race car.

We would LOVE to help someone build a Subaru, Drag car, Rally car, Time attack car or bad ass street car. We just can't pay to do that all on our own with the money we have to put into our own Time attack program.

I think I saw this car on a trailer on the strip here in Vegas during nascar weekend, lol. If not the graphics were identical

NopWRX · 03-27-2009, 02:33 PM

Thanks for sharing with us. =] You guys build very nice cars. Some people are just ignorant.

Here are some images from the final stages of work on the vehicle from Saturday and the overnight tuning session which ended 10 am Sunday! - good times !!!

The turbo kit in the fab area awaiting final prep before installation.

Tony fabricating a custom V-band downpipe.

Saturday 5 pm- Danny and Dave getting the car dyno ready.

Not quite, I too used to distribute some of their parts and build a few motors with their parts at my old shop in NC.

The reason you don't see many suby owners with their cars there is because AMS builds horsepower and 94% of the suby owners out there thing a boost spike at 2800 rpms making a useless .08 seconds of 300wtq is "real usable power"

lmao.

Every time I see the AMS Evo turbo manifold it makes me wanna buy an Evo
