thanks man!!!

Yeah none of them can do any off roading..lol. We would rip off all the aero...that would suck.

Its a stroked 2.7L. Every part in the engine has been beefed up. Since its a track car its done to be conservative. @17 PSI on pump gas we achieved 470 Wheel. With some more testing and tuning we want to be in the 550-600 range.

Ah so this was the 2.5l to start, that's nearly the same setup as my friend! He's hoping for 550awhp but the car is still being tuned and his new tranny still needs to be installed. Cool to see you guys have a couple cars, keep it up!

yeah it was an EJ257 (sti) and it was stroked to a 2.7...less stress, more power at lower boost.

550 AWD on a subaru is awesome...but how reliable that is time will tell. We are looking for reliable power...those things are hard to manage.

yeah we have a few project cars here.

the most aggressive wheel setup that we have is here:

13x8 -35 with 24.5x9 mickey t's

K24 block K20 head, E85 are the main ingredients for the 307 NA WHP (wrong wheel drive I know...its stupid fast )

Heh, this car has been posted already. I'm actually a contact with the owner on Flickr so usually post whenever I see he's added any new pics. Sick car nonetheless!

Holy Civic, talk about some serious grip! That transmission must hate him!

Yeah, we'll see how reliable things are. I'm assuming you guys are running PPG's in the STI? My buddy was at 410awhp for quite a while and the thing already seemed fast, I can't imagine carelessly dumping the clutch with 550awhp and gobs of torque!

Are these personal cars of the workers or customer cars... Or perhaps shop cars? I'm not sure how big you guys really are but now I'm curious!

The STi's tranny was beefed up and Carbonetic diffs were put in front and rear. We wont be breaking any trannies...and we don't drag race or launch the STi ever!!! Its hard enough to not stall out the clutch when getting it off the trailer...lol. Its a handfull.

These are all our/shop cars...Although some of our customers cars are ridiculous...

I can put them up if anything...but I rather just put up our cars when applicable.
