Below was my cost break down: He replaced the foam that is part of the seat cover and added a little extra to the side bolsters: old cover here: new foam:

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
It looks amazing. What a difference, and I'm sure it looks even better in person.

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Looks absolutely stunning. You have one of the best interiors on the club now, i'm certain. My only concern is the steering wheel. It looks like he put the new material over the old leather instead of removing it first. Is that how you wanted it done?

Yes, I'm just terrible at it. I've been posting to my instagram account and facebook but hadn't uploaded to photobucket and thus here. Soo here are my general updates (as the engine is ready): - Bought a DeltaSpeed 21st Anniversary bumper: - Refinished the engine bay and had it cleared in DiamondFinish Clear for durability. This meant removing everything from the engine bay. I had some damage from battery corrosion that I wanted repaired and I finally found a paint shop that would take non-insurance work. I'm currently inspecting all the wiring and replacing broken/corroded wires. - Pulled front suspension, recoated, and replaced bushings. Finally finished the engine mounts as well. - Had steering rack rebuilt (had a leak) and replaced a steering rack: - Started preparing for transmission swap. Nate happened to be visiting so with his encouragement and help, he and Matt pulled the 6 speed from my wrecked '05 STI. I've been preparing for the install by ordering some replacement parts and waiting on a spare SVX gas pedal to weld up my manual pedal assembly. Next Steps: - Complete wiring harness check and repairs. Waiting on some wiring to arrive to complete. - Weld manual pedal assembly and perform any other prep work needed for 6 speed install (including how I install the clutch master cylinder) - Install 6 speed (when Nate comes back down), update transmission wiring - Decide if I really want to keep my ABS as I reinstall brake lines - Install engine. (OMG finally!) - Put front-end back together - Have windshield wiper tank, coolant tank, etc combined similar to what killerb makes for the wrx in order to make more room for piping for turbo

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Marisa,
I'm giving you a friendly bump. I know you keep your Instagram updated and all those pictures would look very nice in a thread format. It's almost been a year since you last posted here -Sam

Re: Twin Turbo EG33 Build - cozykat
Marisa
So how is the engine running in non-turbo mode with the Hydra? Any chance you've run it on a chassis dyno to establish a baseline Hp/Tq figure? Bill
