here my 99 sti build

[mr.fix.it]

so heres my story..

after finding a nice looking v5 sti on trademe i organised to go pick it up

hired a trailer and drove 9 hours (auckland to welly) on arrival all looked

as good as a parted car could so bought it trailered her back to auckland and

after a week or so of tinkering i discovered that it had late model gt heads on

shim over bucket (ew) so there was my first problem it wasnt even sti .

so my next problem came in the form of a famous big end bearing knock

even more joys for this nice cheap and easy fix. so out the motor came and out

came the money in my wallet .

i purchased a V7 sti shortblock off of gotasuby v6 sti heads new steel gaskets new headbolts bloody new everything and the sent off to get the heads skimmed .

received my shortblock last tuesday and built her up hard and fast lol had the motor in on thursday running friday .

so heres some pix

BIG THANKS to Gotasuby , and Ryan for machining my heads and everyone on here that help answer all my questions and querys you guys are awsome
