    It's 6.6 Turbo D-Max.. 18 miles to the gal with no trailer. When I bought this truck new in June of 04 deisel was $1.62 gal last summer I was almost paying $5.00 a gal.. it's back down to $2.19 or so.. those are some pretty dramatic jumps that I don't believe there is one honest logical reason for.

    Only had her for a month or so..she is going under the knife due to a balance shaft belt snapping =[

    The day I put her on the road is the day the belt snapped..I haven't had a chance to detail her yet

    Here's a nice rolling shot of my daily. It's not much, but it gets me by and I don't mind if it gets dinged or bruised:

    Now, my pride and joy. I only take it out one weekend of month if there's no rain in the forecast, and the temp and humidity are right:

    d00t Welcome to Detailing

    Nice!! Using a rally inspired car for what it's heritage shows! Not only street! :)

    Is there a reason you went with a larger top mount as opposed to a FMIC? Isn't that a mod a lot STI/wrx owners do first? This mod just intrigued me.

    edit, you can't post all those goodies and not the numbers!!

    I haven't dyno'd yet, but once I get on meth and E85 I'll be pushing 420whp.

    I like the larger topmount because it keeps my spool-up low. If you think about the FMIC piping, it's a larger volume, over a longer distance. And you have to push the same amount of pressure (psi) through that longer distance and larger volume. No thanks. The TMIC is JUST about at it's breaking point for my goals. Once I go any more (which I will soon, sleeved block + goodies in the makings) I'll be forced to go FMIC.... We'll burn that bridge when I get there.

    I carefully choose all of my mods to be well balanced and compliment the car -- not have a hodgepodge of brand names thrown all over it randomly. :)

    I make 22psi at 3400rpms... and that's damned impressive for a 2.0L
