Man you remind me sooo much of myself when I was in high school!

you're doing a bit more of a mechanical build, the wiring for my swap was rediculous.

you're really tempting me to do my own MirEvo build I'm local too so I bet we could help each other out alot!

I got this car my junior year summer
http://www.rs25.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71296

Now I'm turning 20 next month (holy **** time flies, 1 year till 21!!!!) and my new car is a litttttle faster and newer which is nice. The 1993 drivetrain on a 1996 with all of my unexperienced 17-18 year old mechanical skills got annoying after a while. So I got an s2000 for this past summer and now I'm in love with the car that was once the enemy!

Nice! I love the paint, goes well with the rims. I'm actually trying to convince my friend to buy an Impreza so I can work on a GC8 swap for him.

Now I have a little bit of an update. The rear diamond came in from Mitsubishi, so I took a shot today. The rear is almost completely done now.

Finally found a seat. A bit too sunny out for a nice interior shot, but oh well. All I need now is an Evo 6 shift knob and the shifter boot to finish the interior! (From then on I can get OEM plastics instead of painted ones). But the look will be finished.

I have seen sets for sale in the UK and Japan, but it would cost me around 2 grand shipped. When the motor is in, I'll think about it. I'll also have to change my gauges, steering wheel, and shifter to match. Can't deny it though, the TME interior is amazing.

good job with your build so far and good luck with the rest of it. I hope you can get the drivetrain in soon.
