Still to fit new turbo and get rid of the MAF

 

Not bad considering we only just got it out of the bodyshop the night before covered in dust!

Since those were taken, I've had the offending blue master cylinder stopper brace powder-coated black.

 

Not Bad. !!!!!!!

 

Few more of mine.

Wow never seen anything as clean and genuine to the last bolt

 

Thank you mate for that comment, its made it all worth while.

Ive had the inlet refurbished and lots of nuts and bolts re-plated.
The engine bay was quite ruff looking last year when i imported it from Japan, so much better now.

I'd love to get mine done or do them myself if I can after looking at yours , did you re plate the bits yourself or get it done by someone else all info will be appreciated thanks in advance

 

Where'd you get that blanking plate for the intercooler?? Looks like a good job!

 

I was just thinking the same thing

 

Thank you bud, its getting there.

I got a local company to plate them, i take everything to work and clean it up then send it off to be plated.

Most of the bits only cost me £20 or so and that's for a bag full.

Thanks mate, it came on the car when i got it from Japan.

 

What would the blanking plate do ?

 

My dump valve is fitted on the underside of the intercooler so the old position has to be blanked off.

 

Current car



Old car

 

My V2 STI RA VLimited. Pretty much standard.

 

WOW.

 

My rad brackets and battery clamp need some work as they're looking a bit corroded and tired. That aside...I don't think it's too bad.

 

 

Definitely DIFFRENT I'd get the battery clamp and oil cap done yellow and carbon dip the blue bits that clash with the yellow badly IMO... good effort though

 

Carbon dip has been done before.There aren't many blue/yellow engine bays about.
As for the blue and yellow i got the idea from the early Subaru rally cars.
I might change it when the 2.5 gets fitted.

 

 

That suspension setup looks monstrous any closer pics mate

 

 

Nice one

 

Original


After a hour cleaning still looks horrid

 

Metal polish this bit.




Toothbrush on the manifold , paint the intercooler. Will be grand after that.

 

Will do cheers pal i thought you couldnt paint the intercooler what should i use to paint it

 

Not a bad result looks much better

 

I just used silver paint on everything other than the actuall core. Gave the core a light dusting just to take the bad look off the tarnished fins.
