hahaha!
Thanks for the advice! I used flickr before and I just didn't like it. We upgraded to pro so now I shouldn't have to worry about it any more.

Dimitri, just an FYI about photobucket. Their photo quality is much worse than Flickr when using them to host. I've noticed a big difference between my photos, and that is my I try to only use Flickr for my shots now.
Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Can't wait to see what this car turns into.

Love your subi. saw it on Hellaflush i believe just about a month ago (when I saw it not when it was posted)
Good luck with the LY, Looks like this may be the first crazy tucked engine bay if you do it up like your subi (there are a few tucked bays on here but nothing like that bugeye)

There is a crazy lime green evo with a shaved bay, but that was the only one I have seen. I posted a thread under my personal evoM name and got some interest on it. Trust me, this bay is going to turn out just like mine. The final colors we have picked were chrome, lambo yellow, and his third color is dormant purple (color of tial bov) for some accents to make the bay pop.
Thanks! The parts turned out perfect, IMO. I was amazed that most evo i/c pipes and intakes come in stainless steel. Why is that? It cost more to chrome them because the process was more involved seeing as you needed polishing, a heavy copper, nickel, then chrome dipping.

This is the plan we have for the bay, minus the brake booster delete. That is something I didn't do either due to the fact that driving without power brakes on the street is pretty intense. My dad's hot-rod scares me everytime I press the brake because you need to build your own pedal pressure. I do love the tilton pedal assemblys with remote resoviors, but it's just not something suitable for the street.
Norris design evo is sick too! I love the fender tubs and stitch welded bay.

Definitely a pretty sick modification list...You guys are all about the chrome...haha...So are you guys actually going to try out the BBK-B turbo or just go straight to the BW EFR turbo? I would like to see results from both setups if possible...Do you guys have a shop in Morganville? I'm not that far from you, and wouldn't mind coming to check out the shop and build...
