ohlins custom made for the Leone STi.. lower mount was machined new to be used with the oem 2015 STi pillow ball bushing.

 

so since I was making stuff I made pillow ball bushing inserts for my arms in the rear to give it that razor sharp handling...







cusco design







Porsche 911 has all most same design look rear arms and they also upgrade with pillow ball

 

new control arms on, ohlins on, pillow ball heim joint the hole car.... feels great now just need alignment..





was testing it on the track and she handles like a dream... only thing missing was a race seat to hold me.


2015 Sparco Grid.. so light weight from there old line up of seats.









STi axles now

Welcome to the scoobynet "project hall of fame "" with a thread like this

 

Personally , im not keen on the car. But hats off to your engineering skills and your attention to detail . Must have deep , deep pockets too lol

 

That sir is a credit to you, that is immense. I do love a good project thread like this.
any spare EJ22t Blocks ??

 

SUPERB!!!.SJ.

 

The best post of the year!

What a project!

 

why didn't you just buy a Porsche?

hats off to your dedication though

 

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ great read

 

What an absolute retro masterpiece. Best pic heavy thread I've ever seen....thank you for taking the time to share it.

Amazing car. Massive credit to you for all the hard work and dedication. Epic Win.

 

Fair play thats one fully detailed thred

Car looks great by the way, credit to you

 

Thank you... I built it over 2 years period just doing some finishing touches

Thank you for the kind words, I'm actually building a wagon version now



Lol I been creeping around for some time just got lazy to post anything, you guys build some wild subarus on here.



For me I love the old boxes, built many legacys ej22ts and a gc8 but nothing is more fun then my box shape cars of the 80s.


Thank you, I'm a little late posting it up on here but it's not finished yet got a bit more upgrades I want to do...

I have many ej22t blocks but I don't like selling them, when I get them there most likely dirty beat up and stripping and cleaning takes some time. It's possible I can find you one if your in need.


Thank you cheers..


LoL thank you glad you enjoyed my build project, it's not over still want to do more



LoL I could have got a Porsche I guess or something else... I love my subarus all ways had one and stuck with them..

New cars are cool but every car goes out of style when the new one comes out, it's just comes down to how much do you love the car.




Thank you



Thank you so much !... Greatly appreciated and glad you like the work and project I built...




Thank you very much... Im trying to finish it off this summer, started building a wagon with out the wild ness just keeping it simple with all the extra stuff I got laying around my shop.

Realy Awesome Post

 

Just spent the last hour of my life reading this thread! What a fantastic project you've done! A*

 

thank you everyone for the kind words !!!






































so since I was on the track and all most lost a motor to a faulty oil pressure sensor leaking I decided to get some proper equipment to finish the system off and new sensors.

Radium fuel rails and Bosch FPR adapter to keep it nice and simple and in series on my spare Spec-c V8 STi intake manifold.

I can build the proper lines now then swap them on to my Leone







also finally finished my new front bumper... JDM/USDM mixed with Canada top trim and impact beam.. fully mutt now lol.




all done no more accidents please !!!... next to my favourite year Subaru 2015 got to get one of these

 

sweet baby jesus, thread level epic, car level epic.

love it mate

 

haha thanks man ! real appreciate the compliments glad you like my toy


























these are my new fuel and oil pressure sensors KAsensors and from just installing the oil pressure wow highly accurate

like to thank Franz @ Dieboldautosport for hooking me up with these bad boys !

 

I guess I should update this build thread since new parts are being piled up for my Subaru Leone RX TURBO STi, as of now its in storage for winter but was building the Subaru Leone TURBO WRX NB-R Wagon version which can be found here --> http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2687011




or insta gram https://www.instagram.com/nico_zone/


so I just ordered these EJ22T oil jets brand new from the dealership which if I remember right they couldn't be sold at the dealership which is a myth !.. also got the JDM STi quick steering sticker for my Leone.




out of japan I finally found one of these rare STi 6mt Short shifters which was a task and has the serial number right on it from STi factory.

 

another cool part from japan R180 STi finned rear diff cover, helps cool the rear diff fluid.

 

so new season and new SUPER Rare rims for that 90s style square look, these a hard to find even pictures of them !

JDM 16x8 5x100 ET35 Tecnomagnesio ..MAGNESIUM..




aluminium caps with snap rings wow !




Made In Italy









off to the walnut blasting and ready for the gold paint job !

 

so been really slacking on updates but lets try and catch up







I add a new turbo the old version died from Anti lag fun lol, new borg warner s300sx-e has better oiling and updated cover

 

I also swapped out the turbo blanket for the PTP Turbo Blanket, so much better design and construction then the DEI ones that fall apart









I also swapped the Sparco Grid seat for a MOMO racing seat with higher bolsters to keep me snug while I'm on the track, the sparco grid is in my wagon version.

 

Just read through your project from the start, all I can say is amazing. Fantastic project. Well done & a real credit to you.

 

thank you very much !!! i'm glad you liked what i have created with my toy, its been a wonderful ride thats still going strong..
