Default Update on the Mastro Subaru RS

Heres another update, all the parts are in for the motor and Craig will be building it up in the next couple days. Had to get both of my cranks worked on, one turned .010 and the other polished up. I will be using the polished one in this motor. I am just finishing the Super Pro Poly bushing install on all the control arms, lat links, rear diff and crossmember. So I cannot wait to see what improvement in handling that provides. All thats left is to get the motor together, put on the lightweight flywheel and clutch attach trans and install, get the new rotor on with Hawk HP+ pads, and get a new set of Kumho V710's. Oh and get to Topeka. Have to be on the road in 9 days.
A very big thanks to Pete, Will, Kyle, Bill and the rest of the guys over at Mastro they have been a huge help, during this hectic timeframe.

The benzo in the back there looks like when you shine a light in a cats eyes and they glow, like it's ready to pounce...
But what's that in the front, did Craig get a Scooby???

Oh, and contrats as well, hopefully all the hard work will pay off, good luck at nats.
