Great work on parts selection! Some people get caught up in the turbo bling and big mechanical parts and miss the significance of things like a fully custom ludwig harness (which is ******-A-awesome).
Any thoughts on what you're going to do about the rear end?

Updates! The past two month have been super busy for me. From getting called for mandatory OT for work, to friends bachelor party, friends wedding, and then finally seven stock.
So as for the Shine RE-Amemiya style bumper, I ended trading with a buddy of mine for a FEED style bumper.
IT FITS!
Next I got tired of my leaky oil pan (which I resealed awhile back with permatex “wrong stuff”). I ended up buying a new pan and resealing with threebond.
After everything was removed, just to find out the oil pan brace was warped and the poly bushing on the mount was deformed. I ended up replacing both mounts and pan brace.
Subframe out
Subframe cleaned. As clean as it will get.
The new irp brace
Ball joint boot looks worn
Resealed with new pan and brace
Also new FFE mounts. I’m selling the old set btw, will need replacement bushing.

Nice build thread, enjoyed reading it.
side question....what about your driveway issue? I’m guessing your dp to mp flange caught on the raised section, stressing the dp to turbo for it to crack? Will the new turbo setup with dp to mp have the same possible driveway issue?
Curious on the ecu install and tune when you get to that point, getting closer!

11/21 update: spent the evening checking clearance and orient the wastegate where it would clear the subframe and where the dump tube would not obstruct the downpipe.
Clearance of the water fitting and the subframe. 3/16 to 1/4” the picture doesn’t do justice due to bad angle and lighting

wants some ube
Brody -- amazing build so far! I live in the east bay and would LOVE to see the car once it's up and running! I'm finally getting started on re-awakening mine from sitting idle for 13 years. You're well ahead of me on your build, but I must say, I'm quite motivated by your progress!
Side note -- I'll be going to Seoul in January. Any recommendations?
