Lol! Maybe i should weld the doors shut, take the glass out and drive around looking like the General Lee?! DIY solution in progress. Just need new-s/h glass. How much did your TMIC cost all together?

 

I got it for £270 with dumpvalve and pipes. then I had to get an STI 7> Bracket (turbo side) a Samco 52mm 90deg pipe. then just the cost of fitting. I would also recomend getting The new strutbrace, after driving without one and then re-fitting the new one it really does tighten up the front end. All I need to do now is sort the under tray/splitter.

Come have a look if you are around for a bit.

 

I'd love to cause since having owned mine since the end of last year ive never been around for a meet or had something else on. Im only back for a few days unfortunately to attend a funeral then back to Germany.(Wed). Back home on the 31st Sept though for two weeks so THE ONLY plans ive made is to go to the meet at the begining of Oct!!

It would be nice to see how the 2.5L compares to the 2L. Hopefully I'll have a new clutch by then aswell!!

 

I will be all re-mapped then with all the Whiteline stuff on too cant wait

 

fao powerjunkie... what strut brace have u got now??? looks like it may fit mine too..

 

It is a Whiteline (KSB551) Brace. It is a tight fit but It does go in Quite shiny too

 

FYI my STI5 Type R is now up for sale.

Full details here: http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=453260

Cheers

 

do u reckon it might fit in my engine bay???

 

What intercooler is that. I want one

 

Looks like its getting on for the size of Andy.F's tm.

Might it be a hyperflow??

 

How much room do you have between the IC and the bulkhead? Look at my side pics, It might go in. I have seen a pic of a brace that goes infront of the IC but cant remember where

 

think its mrt one? from jap inovations

 

Correct It is from Jap Inovations, That would fit easy.

heres some pics... i dont think it would fit






what u think???

its an HELIX sti 8 top mount intercooler... does the job superbly!!!

 

I think youd be better off with a Front Mount and a strut brace.

 

works fine though and dont wanna have to get car remapped again by changing to a front mount.

 

that looks very useful, i would go for that over a front mount intercooler all day, what boost are you running through that TD05/06???

looking at the brake res it would be a good idea to take the plastic bit off the top and cut it down a bit.

also if you cut the tag that joins the 2 water pipes together you will be able to get a little more clearance by moving the top water pipe forward.

if you don't mind me asking how much was the cooler???

 

Im running peak poos 1.5bar..
about 300quid i think... from flat4 ...

 

Tasberley! Have a look on the http://www.jap-innovations.co.uk site


They do this brace that would fit

 

thought jap innovations had seased trading???

 

Yep, they have.

 

Oh I wonder who makes that strutbrace then??

 

MRT make it...



I think Jap were the only UK dealer for them too,

MRT Dealers

If you go to

MRT Online Shop

then to - Under Body/Alignment Products (its on page 5)

 

well thats just typical... any other ideas where i could get one from??

 

i think my dump valve might catch on it???

 

Heres a zoomed in pic, might give you a better idea....

 

That is the Whiteline Logo but I cant find it on there site. I need to pack the back between the brace and the bulkhead because it rattles a little bit. I should be able to stuff some foam between to sort

 

Just noticed on the second strut brace advert.... "These Whiteline strut braces...."

 

INSURANCE.
Who covers your type R ?

 

Try A-plan, competitive and very flexible on mods.
