JRivera's Ocho RS

Its been a little over two years since I purchased my 05 RS bone stock when I had just turned 19 at the time. Since day one of owning the car I have been modding it thanks to Emery and the STM crew.The car has grown to be close to how I want it and has put down a best of 446 whp on STM's dyno (bone stock putting down 216 whp). Finally I think the car is now picture worthy in my eyes so here are some pictures my girlfriend took today to finally show my hard work. Thank you to everyone at STM for making my dream car what it is they truly are my second family. Plans are to keep making more power and throw some CR Kai's do a nose chop and put a lip on her.

Other than safety of not getting your hand stuck in there, I have never seen a single failure from debris going up into the timing belt and ruining something. People have always said it can happen, but in 6 years of many car forums, I have yet to see it happen.

With that said, it would probably look better with the stock cover on there, since it's the stock cam gears.

I always love the look of a clean car...kudos to you for keeping her a sleeper! Question...how did you route your throttle cable? I can sorta see it in the pictures but when I had mine back there it was binding up.

Peace

I recently had to replace a crank sensor because I'm guessing something got down in there and bent the toner wheel. Not for sure, but dont know what else it couldve been

Clean car, nose chop and lip will look great!
