How it looks after wash. Putting a better radiator because it has a crack, and need to fix a leak from a hose going to the intake so i can stop leaking boost!

Thanks, this thing walks stock evos, wrxs, and a buncha other cars from a roll. It's actually going to be my daily for right now, turns out that saving money has it's advantages got this one for 2 grand.

As for the SVO, I'm getting the turbo and exhaust piping mocked up right now. Should be up and running in the next couple weeks. I'm planning on doing a sn95 front and rear end swap, but we will see what happens. I'll be sure to bring both out to one of the cruises/meets.
