Still progressing, car was delivered to a Subaru dealer tonight, the alignment will be done tomorrow morning. The alignment is extensive, around 8-9 hours apparently because of the adjustable parts, so it will take most of the day to complete.
The difference is once this is done, this car will handle perfectly and predictably compared to before.

The mechanic is going to do some more work to the car after they get it back, apparently the car is losing some pressure in the transmission when it goes to shift and is bouncing off the limiter once or twice before shifting. They are going to attempt to fix that tomorrow.

If this progresses at current, the car will be driven to me on Friday and I will have pictures asap.

Also, mechanic confirmed that the Z has been dropped 1.5" lower from the coils alone.

IT'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK

All thanks to F&D Auto Care.

Engine bay, Front Rotor

Front shots, Jon's Z ,Rear Rotor
Jon is standing on the left and his partner Bobby is on the right.

More shots of his Z, putting out over 500rwp.

Night shots, sorry it's dirty, I promise to wash it SOON.

Performance is...omg....compared to the white one, crap....
Mash the throttle and it puts you into the seat and you're up to 60mph in around 6-7 seconds

Wide open, it's hitting around 90mph in the 1/4. I went out to the airstrip and fooled around...

The sound is.....just...AMAZING, it's so deep and no rasp... and at idle 3-4k revs the sound is just deafening ^_^

VIDS SOON, MORE PICS SOON.

I like the side shot, it's actually a pretty cool looking car. The front shots make it look kind of... plain...

Nice car Teku, glad you finally got it finished!

I understand EXACTLY what he did to it, and I'm quite suprised that it only broke 2K, but also relieved. lol. It's a great looking car, and obviously a great sounding car now that you have had a lot of it fixed up. Can't wait for the vid to hear that baby ROAR! :zoot:

Costed 2500 total for repairs and ya, another mechanic in north Alabama said he would have charged me double for the same amount of work.
Possibly have a video Monday or later... I'm off work Tuesday, so it'll most likely be then.

Thankies Jane and Tona.

Spent roughly 13k on this car now ;P
