Mine is all carbon too.




I also made this billet bracket for my fire extinguisher.

 

Looks Great. Who did you buy the carbon fibrer rear seat delete from & how much if you don't mind me asking?

Not in the same league as you guys, but the girlfriends scoob (95 wrx) had a manky gaitor and surround and after searching for ages, I finally found a place that does the chrome surround for that shape. However when they say it is "designed for that year", what they are really saying is " well it kind of works, but its a bit crap "

So a little bit of modifying was needed.
The old gaitor in horrible rubber



First problem was the Richbook gaitor had an elasticated bottom, which meant it would fit snugly around the gearstick, but then you would be left with a view into the gearshaft etc what a crap design and obviously not for this car. so 1st job was to unpick all the stitching, lose the elastic and then I drilled holes in the gaitor and fited it to all the plastic lugs around the surround. Glued it secure. 20 mins later you get this




Then next problem was the Richbook chrome surround. Again bad research by the suppliers, as:
The chrome bolts are threaded, yet you have to drill holes into the plastic surround, so no thread and also no nuts. So off to a DIY store and a bit of careful drilling and a few nuts to secure, you get this effect





done
Suppliers are all getting an email tomorrow, saying they need to tighten up on quality control before describing these as direct replacements

 

Made the best of a bad job there Swiss. Nice one

 

thx mate, it was a royal PITA and I was well hacked off with scoobyparts,as normally they are much better. even the bloody hex key they give you with the bolts is not the the right size ..bloody amateurs !!

 

Ive been working on mounting 2 52mm gauges, a boost gauge and an wideband AFR gauge. The problem was where to mount them as I'm not keen on the pods people use.

So I have decided to use the centre vents. I wanted to leave one vent in but this didn't allow enough space for both gauges, so I have used the drivers side vent and modded it to fit. Have a look and see what you think.


This is where I wanted the vent.


Vent modded. Check out the plastic welding to make the small vent fit the larger vents housing. Its gotta work ya know!




Welded fascia and vent


Bit of filler added


Finished in primer with holes cut for gauges.

 

^^^ Cool

 

I really like this car; smart and original.

 

I bet a lot of people would buy that. Get some replica's made.

Also liking the bracket for the fire extinguisher.

 

this has probably been done many times before,i couldnt decide if i should paint the origanal vents black or colour code them,i think this way they match up with the lights best though.

 

^^ that is great.I think the mesh works because you have a grey car.I dont think it would look as good on other colours tbh, but top play for doing something different.

 

I'm not a lover of mesh.... but I really like what you've done, great job!

I did the leather gear gaiter about 2 years ago And fitted the Richbrook shiny surround last November

Agree with the Allen key being too small, but nuts aren't needed for the bolts, just drill a slightly smaller hole than the bolt and they sort of self-tap

Looks loads better than the sh1tty rubber gaiter though, top work

 

PMSL could of got a couple of burgers on there
