Major progress! Smoke and noise soon.

We got the car back from Rallitek last Wednesday- Motor almost complete. Took the car to Portland Muffler and had a custom exhaust built. Rick did an awesome job- He's a perfectionist, usually building custom exhausts for hot rods.

Here's a photo of the at his shop...


Today, we hosted another work party. And again, we had an awesome turnout. Dave, Bill, Patrick, Bryce, and Jessica all came over to help and we got a ton of things done.

Here's Bill fabbing up the new heater box air intake manifold.


Here's Dan drilling the first hole in the hood for the hood pins.


Here are Bryce and Jessica wiring up the new headlights. Bryce also brought a KEY piece of information with him- The turn signals in a Subaru don't work unless the stock Hazard switch is installed.



Jessica asked for light beer, but I don't think this is what she had in mind...


Here's Bill working on the seat brackets...
Patrick made a run out to Gaston and picked up the remaining seals needed to make the car waterproof.

We have a working heater, working lights, and a seat installed. The car has a hood and window seals. We even have insurance for it now.



Tomorrow, the car goes back to RalliTek to finish the motor installation. There are just some minor things to do plus putting an initial tune on the ECU.

This week, it should be running, and we can start driving it. We need to get 500+ miles on it before the dyno day on January 27th.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out so far!
