He's referring to the black car that was the inspiration for Tallbozo's work.

So the plan has grown. I dont want to rush the plans so Im taking my time with it.

New plans include:
Fender flares to make room for some 16x8's
Respeed Coilover Kit with camber plates
Full GSLSE suspension conversion
Front End redesigned to match Rear end
07 WRX bucket seats
Full custom sub woofer enclosure and speakers


The plan is to have the car full Primed within the month to endure the winter. I thought I might as well go nuts with this car while i can. being single and having a decent income is something i wont always have

Thanks for following this thread and More to come!

Hey just a thought...

If you have not already purchased those wrx seats look into a set of Sparco Steel's I just installed one in my car with sparco sliders and their base. It fits pretty well and is reclinable and about 300$ a seat... not horrible for new.

Have a good one

any updates on the fb, I really wanna see it all one color. Looks like your taking care of it.

have you thought about going with the T2 brake/wheel selection mod before ? I have never looked into the se stuff but I think that the FC stuff is more variety and sizes.

It would be a 5 lug conversion wouldnt it? i havent really looked into that. I'll have to see the capability with the respeed coilover kit. It would be fun to have 5x114.3...wheels options would really open up

Ok parts are coming in.

My clutch, transmission, driveshaft and rear end have all decided to take a dump, so I got a sweet deal on all of those replacements for less than $500 installed.

We are getting the car in primer for the winter. I am buying these FC seats for $100


Then we are going to do some fender flares We are going to try to see if 79 rabbit fenders would work. They are 2-3 inches wider so they would be perfect and it would be easier than trying to make some from the original fenders.

Pics to come next week!

It doesn't fit exactly, and it ends up looking like crap. Just swap the fenders and the shocks with the lower valance and you should be okay

The corner lights don't have the same plug either. You would need to cut the FB plug off the FB lights and wire the SA connector on the FB lights

Winter came along and brought some delays. Had to replace the Transmission, driveshaft, clutch, and rear end, but I have a LSD now so thats good news.

I've managed to get some new seats from an S5 RX7 and they fit great and look great.


And I found the color I want. Its called Inferno Red. Its a deeper red which I think will go well with my graphite Konigs.
