Smile New 05 G35x owner.

Hello, My names Bill and I currently work for a major bank full time as a engineer and part time for IPS Motorsports tuning GMs/Subarus/Dodges/AEM Standalones. I'm a huge car nut and I've owned a little bit of everything.

I own a 1997 Subaru Impreza with a WRX/STi Swap. IT's currently running a prototype RWD setup with a 2.5STi block with a 18g turbo on e85. I've not dynoed it due to the rear end weak spot. But on AWD with a 2.2 build I made 365awhp. The full mod list is quite extensive lets just say she is no longer a great daily driver. But a helluva toy


^AWD


My wife drives a 2005 Outback XT(Turbo) It currently runs a custom intake manifold setup and a smaller Td04 turbo. Stage 2+(catless + Tune by me)



Gone but not for gotten
03 Bug Eye (Burnt Marshmellow)
She had a TON of mods. Almost every bushing suspension and other part you could think of. Handles like a champ and was quick.

She ran a 12.3 with the stock 2.0(with STI Turbo) on e85 making 335whp

That 97(BattleWagon) in RWD form sucks to drive in the snow or rain. It's noisey and a rough ride. Just not a enjoyable daily for a 1+hours commute each day. So onto my search for a Daily Driver.

I looked at allot of cars recently to try and find a fun daily driver. After test driving tons of cars I found this G35x with low miles and its in superb condition.


I've always had a soft spot for the G35 and after owning a subaru I knew i had to have AWD for it to be the proper daily for columbus.


So here she is. She will be staying very close to stock.

Future Mods.
Rear Lip Spoiler
Super Rim/Tires
Custom Header
Quite Exhaust
Stillen intake tube
Wide Band (no gauge)
RWD Switch
Paddle Shifters
TCS Bypass
Debadge
UpRev Tune

As for other projects.
Its up in the air.


Build FFV 818 that runs 10s and is a really fun mid engine rwd 1800lb car
Build 2011 TT Mustang GT 5.0

Being that I don't have space for 4 cars somethings got to go but time will tell.
