525bhp vpower only map mate.
Lol, the crowd loved it. Hahaha

 

Niiiiiiiice!

 

that's the way frayz

 

class :-)

 

I've just noticed that this thread has been rated with 5*s.
I have no idea who of you have rated it but would like to say thankyou to anyone that has done so.
Thankyou

Frayz

 

I thought you were running 575hp mate.
Interior looks amazing, did you make all the housings yourself.

 

Yes it's mapped to 575bhp but that's a meth map. That video was on plain old vpower so only 525bhp.
No matter what Bhp figures people spout on here none of them are permanently driven at full power.
525 is plenty, 575 map is for weddings, birthdays and bahmitzvahs only.


Gonna replace the horrid cap heads with some smooth buttons, to try and make it look less garish but it can't really be seen much from the rear of the car.
I was sick and tired of my bumper melting from the radiant heat of the exhaust tip so decided to finally do something proper about it.
Tried the dei self adhesive reflection mat and that burns off too.
So gone with a more permanent solution, I just hope this works.

If the exhaust tip colour I anything to go by its seeing between 270/340 degrees C.
Toasty!

 

Zircotech?

 

The shield or the whole rear box?

Too expensive to be honest Ollie.

 

Yes Frayz its plenty
My partner said would you buy the CS400 OR SPEC C if you won some money on the Lotto

I said I would make Frayz an offer he couldn't refuse

 

Lol. Well it's here mate if you wanna make me an offer.

 

£3.95 and a packet of wine gums, might even throw in a bottle of fizzy wine for your good lady, Frayz.

Interior looks great, not sure on the exhaust heat shield though. CF would have been more subtle.

 

I was thinking the whole exhaust

 

Lol too expensive Ollie.
Micky I don't like it either but hate those CF things more.
I'm going to have a play with it maybe VHT it black with black fasteners and see how it goes. First and foremost... It's gotta work!

 

It might look better with different fixings. It's them that makes it look "wrong".

Actually working is the main thing though.

 

I swapped the fixings today and it looks much better.
For now I'll see if it works, if so then I'll paint it black and add black smooth rivets.

 

New hardware looks much better. If it functions well then I may remove and paint black.
Happy enough for now though.

 

I've been cleaning some bits on the car in the sun this morning.*Weather was too nice to miss.
The engine bay still looks smart and it's been back on the road almost a year now.*
Couple of extra snaps of the exhaust shroud too.*

 

Took some new photos of the car today with some different views than ive tried before.

Thought id share them with you

 

Looking good as always mate

 

Nice wheels

 

Looks VERY smart

 

Looks great frayz and I need one of those keys. Just so many little touches that make this such an awesome build.

 

Ouch, carbon firewall, bet that wasn't cheap ?

Car looks great, a well thought out, well built project m8, job done !

 

Really nice pics fella!

Attention to detail + enthusiasm + bugger load of skill + plus pretty deep pockets = epic impreza! :-)

 

One of the best attention to detail cars I have had pleasure to map.

Wish I can eventually get my own as neat and tidy

 

Thanks guys. She doesn't look too sad for a 10 year old jap box.
Nice when others appreciate the amount of effort thats gone in.
Deep down I guess I am quite proud of it.

Simon, random idea...
Would a 30billet for more spool or 35 billet for more power?

Or leave well alone?

 

Nice key

Did you get a 10-20mmm lens...I like the phat perspective!

30Rbillet FTW

 

If you had already got to this point and were asking beforehand not having already bought a turbo I would say a gt30r billet for road would be best but when you have a gt35 already the swap v gain is less. When you factor in cost. But then you can sell your gt35

 

What would you suggest being my best gain in either dept?

Or best left alone?
