Nice build.

You're gonna confuse all the ignorant ricers/rednecks by making it a 'faux' STi.

Anyway, how's the handling / "tossiblity" of it compared to a Stock WRX/STi?

I own an '01 Firehawk btw, and its just too much of a pig, even with all the susp mods I put into it. This past weekend I drove the Hawk back to back against my '05 Stage 2 (~300ish wheel hp/tq) and yeah.. I just dig my Scooby more <runs and hides>.

Those STIs are great cars. A lot of fun out of the box. Handle and brake excellent. Also got a lot of pep. Don't kid yourself they are much better all around cars then fbodys. They also got nice seats.
