As the weather seemed to be holding out and my hangover had resided I decided to fit my new battery tray

The plan was to fit 4 rivnuts into the boot floor and screw in the nice stainless alloy head bolts - but the new rivnut tool I bought was **** and broke when I tried to fit the first one

By now the weather had changed and it was p!ssing down but I wasn't giving up so change of plan; I drilled my 4 holes and although the boot floor is quite thin I managed to tap all of the holes with enough of a thread for the bolts to nip up, but as a double measure I got under the car in the pissing rain and added some stainless flange bolts.

Anyway, here it is

 

Battery tray looks great, i know where to come when I need one

 

I also know what little improvements to make to prototype number 2 to make that little bit nicer too

 

Great work mate!

 

Liking that Jon,top work mate.
I haven't forgotten about you either,just had a rough week.
Pm is imminent

 

 

Good work on the battery Jon put some pics up of the car want to see what your wing mirrors look like as I fancy a change

Should be getting a vf34 for mine too with similar mods to yours what power you think you'll achieve Jon?

Martin

 

I'll drag some off my HD when I get home tonight and stick them up - there's bound to be some around but it depends upon how much house-keeping I've done on my PB account

34 with pinks, FMIC, ported headers and a TSL 3" exhaust, TGV delete and a 'kin huge induction kit - I'll be happy with 330+, although I doubt it'll get dynoed as I want a good driveable car, figures are a nice guide but it's useability that's important to me

 

Just me being lazy Jon but didt want to scrawl through pages of the Bugeye stand up thread

Where can those mirrors be had from if you don't mind me asking mate?

Been searching like crazy on how the 34 spools but still unsure. Mine will be on a tmic with pinks, decat, tgv deletes with ported headers n up pipe

Will wait and see hopefully not too laggy for a road car

Martin

 

Mine where cheap APR copies that I picked up just to get a feel for them - if I didn't like them they can go in the bin. I'm tempted to look at some better quality kit car ones as these have limited adjustment due to the ball joint cracking and I ended up fibreglssing over it

With those mods the 34 should still spool quite well, apparently it's a good balance for the standard block and shouldn't over-stress the WRX internals although the gearbox may be on the edge, PPG here I come

 

jon, do you know of anyone who rebuilds impreza STI gearboxes?

 

I know API do a really good price on WRX ones, £600 exchange iirc, you could give them a try...

Here you go mate

 

Yes they're the ones Jon awsome looking scoob credit to you

Martin

 

Cheers Mart, rear diffuser and coilovers to finish the looks, engine getting done niw and some last bits of trim to finish

 

Will look the danglies Jon when done what kind of diffuser you looking at Jon? Wanted one like Juras but don't think I want to tap through the bumper

How about the bonnet vent too mate

Martin

 

Forgot about the bonnet vent, just waiting for a quote from Ryan for painting it

Rear splitter will be exactly like Jura's, I've asked Carben Creations to quote me for making one

 

Group buy? need to still get myself a vent don't know if I should get the HT autos vent. Have a new bonnet, now the dampers aswell

Martin

 

I'll suggest it

I did fancy a HT Autos one but the Panfinker one I've got is a litte different

 

Add some new bonnet lifters today...

 

I was about to put a pic up on my thread too jon good work there put mine on and Couldt feel my hands afterwards
Must say top kit at a good price

Martin

 

Yeah, I was dithering a bit after fitting them too

Going to start changing the rad tomorrow

 

Some progress at last, but still not as quick as I would like, numb fingers don't help...

Out with the old





And in with the new





Fitting the Eclipse hose kit, but they needed a little trimming to suit the thicker rad...







All done



Next up, waiting on a quote for some painting, and then some powder coating to sort out too

 

Send over a pm Jon with what you want doing again mate,can't find the it in my inbox?!

 

Done

 

Not sure how I've missed this thread, nice one Jon

 

Thoughts please peeps, I've got an alloy rad and FMIC, I was going to powder coat the pipework satin black to contrast with the red hoses I have, but I'm now thinking about leaving some bling under the bonnet.

I'm also after an clean and tidy alternator, ideally not polished but not full of salt corrosion like mine
