Back story. I've had this car for over a year now. March 16th, 2014. Less than a week after my 99 outback started perpetually telling a knock-knock joke. Bought it on the spot, and drove it home. That's how it starts.
I knew the head gaskets had yet to be done, and the clutch was slipping a little bit, so I had my work cut out for me. But it ran. And it wasn't rusty. This car was too nice for me. Bonus: It had JDM projectors on it already.
Well I drove it about 5000km before the head gasket decided to blow on me, par for the course for an EJ25D with 230,000km. So I rebuilt it. OEM gaskets all around, new clutch (from my old outback) and a new timing belt. Also tossed in some UEL headers, a fart can, Perrin Pitch stop, and a group N STi tranny mount.
Current Mods:
Exhaust:
Borla Replica UEL headers
Cat Delete (First cat)
Some random fart can I yanked off a Honda
Exterior:

Hella yellow fog lights
