Im sure they will look like that, its different too.

Have you got your vital bit of billet yet??

Want to see that space in your engine bay filled

 

Yes Si the finish is very OEM looking so should look quite tasteful. The vital bit of billet is not here yet, im hoping for tomorrow

 

I know yours is a different twisted kit to mine frayz but mine has enough room,should fit no probs matey.

 

If it turns up tomorrow does that mean something exciting will be happening at the weekend??

Cheers for the call the other day too mate, cant wait for you to work your magic!

 

Is that a gt40?

 

35R Si,

Cheers for the pic Pete, i think i will have enough room too by my measurements but we'll see. Hope so, either way i'll get it to fit nice

Yours is looking nice now its back in the bay mate

 

FIRE IT UP!

No **** sherlock

 

this is your 12 hour reminder to bring the boss tomorrow

 

Check

 

This arrived today...
Couldnt resist showing you

 

Woohoo, thankyou Mr Postman.

Huge thanks to Chris at CDF Racing for the billet belt guide. Fits a treat. Now all the covers and pullies can go back on and we're rollin

 

 

What's the purpose of the belt guide if you don't mind me asking? Is there something already there that this replaces or is this additional to hold it in place better? If the belt expands with heat with it not foul this belt guide?

Thanks

 

The stock guide is thin pressed steel. At high RPMs the belt can whip and with enough force deform the stock steel item. This is obviously a much stronger solution. The guide is set to a clearance of 0.4mm to allow for expansion.

Hope that helps :-)

 

Ah right so it replaces something already there but stronger. Sounds cool. Thanks for the info.

 

Youre welcome

 

Lovely bit of work on the belt guide.

Is the 0.4mm a finger in the air or is that the actual expansion rate for the belt?

 

0.38mm is Subaru's specified bottom limit from memory. Can't remember top limit off the top of my head.

Can check for you later if you want.

 

Collected some of my boost pipes from the powdercoaters tonight. As you can see the air temp boss has been added and theyre now a gorgeous "stipple" effect satin black. These look mega OEM in the metal. Really pleased with how they have come out.

Just the intake manifold to come back now

 

Very nice, looking forward to seeing this all put back together. Should look very nice indeed.

 

Fitted this today... again, sorry for the low light images.

Roll on the summer evenings

 

Looks lovely that mate,full tank a juice too.lol.

 

Lol, that will get drianed and put in the mower before she starts up again mate

 

Lol *** that theres about £80 in there use it for running in, it will be reyt.

 

Looks cracking fitted...did you try the quick release coupling Frayz...is it going black and getting fitted?

 

No mate I haven't tried the paddle and to be honest I think I'm going to send it back. I like it how it is. Its really nice.

 

What no paddles for paddle shifting? Looks really good... When do you think she will be done?
