Just need a paint job and to work out one more gremlin (Cold start valve is stuck open making me run rich) and I'll be ready! Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Remember - he did say that he is building it for SCCA solo 1 and 2. I would imagine the wing is there for a purpose - downforce. Terry Richard 08 Subaru Impreza STI
