1badwrx02 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 First off let me introduce myself my name is Kyle Armbruster and I live in Grove City, Ohio. I am 24 years old and am currently a 5th year senior at OSU. I am one of those DIY car guys I used to have a built RSX-S with 420whp I have have been into cars my whole life and I have learned most of what i know from my dad and friends from forums. Previous Project http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/107.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/096.jpg I currently have a 2002 Subaru WRX that I am currently modding and is my current project car. I bought it about 2 months ago, and it had already installed: Walboro 255 fuel pump, STI Injectors, and a Turbo XS down pipe, with a TurboXS UTEC piggyback ECU System and Tein coilovers. When I bought it http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/111.jpg What I have done to it since then... I have added a FMIC with a Tial Q BOV, relocated the coolant, battery, and the windshield washier fluid, added oil temp/pressure gauges and a boost gauge. The FMIC was from CXRACING and a huge PITA I had to do A LOT of fabricating which took me about 4-5 hours by myself, but also saved me roughly $600. In the end I think it turned out very good and works very well. The original boost gauge was in bars and I did not like trying to read that. So I replaced it. Relocated Battery and Washer Fluid http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/129.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/127.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/128.jpg Gauges http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/131.jpg FMIC came in! http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/130.jpg Installed http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/134.jpg Engine Bay http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp346/sportsking80/My%20DC5/IMG_0338.jpg Going to be doing some wire clean up tomorrow all day to clean up the engine bay since the install. There are many future plans in store for this car that I will keep updating as I go. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I am looking forward to meeting lots of people on here. Thanks, and if you ever need any help or have any questions please feel free to ask anytime I can normally answer them. If you need someone to come out and help with a project, I am always down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Welcome! I think I've seen your old RSX and that WRX around the Grove City area (I used to work over there). Did you buy the WRX from someone in Grove City? If so, the guy that used to own it would rev at me every single time he saw my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
