Oh, and where the hell is my Jimmy?   :laugh:  That car will be gone by Monday, so you better hurry.  It'd be one thing if it was sitting in the back yard all shitty and ugly, but it's right there in front of the house and I need to park there.  I'm taking the cutting torch to it on Saturday or Sunday.  I'll give you a call tonight.

Hey I want in on this action too.. I can use some parts

Hey Jay...I am a dealer for Snow Performance Methanol Injection if you want me to get you a price for a kit on your Sooby.

A friendly but competing shop here in Colorado Springs has a 10.1 sec STi at 5800' above sea-level. He is running Meth injection as well as a few other goodies.

Hey, it's faster than stock.   ;)  Thanks for the offer on the Snow kit, I'm going to be using the Hydra Nemesis stand alone, and they make a pnp kit (Called the Hydramist) that I'll probably use, but if I decide to go another route, or pick one up for the TGP I'll let you know!

Yes, I'm guessing you're talking about Revolutions Tuning?  The car is not actually a shop car it's owned by Steve Tasca (Scuba Steve on most Subaru forums) and to my knowledge the fastest it had run is a 10.99 at 129 (This is also actually in his sig on NASIOC.)  But not sure if he updated it or not.  That's wicked fast for sure.

The best part is he's running the same setup I am.   ;)

Yupper Revolutions "tuned". Scuba Steve has put some coins into that car.

I thought I heard a 10.1...but I may be mistaken. I am in the domestic market so my Import news and knowledge is mainly hearsay. ;)

The GT35R setups are finally starting to get some street cred. thanks to people like Revolutions and Steve.  They were touted as a dyno queen setup and not able to hit 10's.  People are starting to shut up about it finally.   ;)

I brought a claybar and meguiars cleaner wax over today... and spiffed up that TGP.   Best looking non running TGP I've ever seen!


I have only seen 7 turbo GPs   3 TSTE's and 4 TGPs... And I would like to create a database for TGP VINs

for those Who don;t know I'm mainly on W body, and am a CS guy... specially on verts.  I would like to turbo convert one of mine... but not badly enough to dismember a living running car.

The TGP VIN Database is already taken lol...mfewtrail I believe has ben collecting VIN's for hundreds of TGP's...maybe he's into the thousands?

This radio station was renamed Krenzy in honor of the last American hero to whom speed means freedom of the soul. The question is not when he's gonna stop, but who is gonna stop him.

Honestly... I WILL find them all.    Mfewtrail gave me everything he had... and I gave him 4 I 'discovered' within an hour of him doing that.

thats off topic.  I hope to have a resolution to a current issue by next week that is halting my VIN project.  I will post a seperate thred on it when it is appropriate.

HEHEHE MWAHAHAHA!!! You'll never get mine!!! LOL

Yes he will. ;) I probably already have yours anyway. :lol: I don't have very many VIN's as of right now. I would have about 100 more right now, but lost those from not backing up files on my computer a few years ago. :icon_redface:

Here's what I have so far:
'89 TGP's - 34 VIN #'s
'90 - TSTE's - 31
'90 TGP's - 137

I *might* have 3-4 repeats due to having partial vin numbers. I'll figure that out later when I have more VIN's though...
'93 SE, '90 Black/tan TGP, & '90 Red/tan TGP

I think Ken got all 3 of mine.  I'm not sure if I ever gave them to you Matt.  Ken, if you don't have them let me know and I'll make sure you do get them.

yeah, I think Ken snapped pics of all 3. if not, i know mine is in there, and next time I'm over I can get the other two if need be.


New updates:
Still have no spark. New ICM fixed a fuse blowing problem, so I probably have a bad CPS or injector or something. Anyways, Ken stopped by and we claybarred and waxed the beast:








Very nice! /Borat voice











Me looking goofy as usual!
