So, I originally bought this car bone stock from the 3rd owner and while it wasn't in terrible shape, it was nowhere near perfect. I bough it to be mild mannered daily but, well.... The only thing that remained true is that its a daily. I run a small shop tuning and building cars. I would say 98% of what we do is Subaru or Subaru related (Tuning, building, maintenance, e-tuning, etc...), but we do some Mazda stuff (rotary and Miata related), 2jz stuff and some Honda/Acura stuff here and there.
In July of last year the car got a new heart: a 1st gen B16A from an XSI with a usdm YS1 gsr transmission. Basic bolt-ons and a simple street tune did the car well as it did numerous HPDE trackdays at various locations. The car has had a complete suspension makeover (list below) and does reasonably well against Caymans, Miatas, Camaros, etc... Fast forward to the middle of January and a friendship between myself and Derek Dunbar of DDTech camshafts (http://www.ddtechcams.com/) and its spurred me to start hitting the local drag strip some more. So 2016 will be devoted to the going faster/making more power rather than generating more grip.
I finally dyno tuned the setup a few weeks ago and made 167hp/110tq which is reasonable for the setup considering the recorded compression (see below). The car went 14.1@97/98mph shortly thereafter with a recorded wet weight of 2100lbs. Not bad seeing as how the 60' times were 2.3ish :rolleyes1:
