Bloody hell you have been busy lol looks great mate

 

That is some work you have put in there!!!!!! Can't what to see when it's all done !!!!!

 

neither can i mate

 

So still buying bits for the car, so now finally got the WRC spoiler to finish the kit off and also some lightweight pulleys to go with it too lol

 

Coming along nicely mate

 

Nice project & good working space.

 

so just waiting on the clutch to turn up now but i have fitted the timing belt, group N engine mounts and some scoobyworld headers and a lighten flywheel

 

wow really good project looking forward to seeing how this will end

 

so another good day at the unit today changing over a few bits and getting the engine in and seats fitted, few more bits to do tomorrow and then fire the engine up and take for a test run next week

 

That's really coming along now - any plans to wrap the headers

 

thought about it but last time i wrapped a set of headers they cracked so i properly wont bother to be fair

 

Just another eventful day at the office

 

I see you've marked the FMIC bracket to trim off the sharp edges - I did mine at the side to and don't know why they didn't come like that

 

i need your air filter lol and yeah stupid design having them sharp corners on them, i thought about spraying my intercooler but them thought ill keep it silver and spray a name or something on it

 

It's so big it's actually a PITA to fit as I can't sensibly run any heatshielding around it. If I go mafless I'll look at wedging it through the wing a bit and creating some shielding

 

you need one of frayzs inner wing thingys.

bloody hell gava this is an epic project!!

 

He won't sell me one because it won't fit with my FMIC pipework; the modifications required to it would render it pretty useless, but I can fabricate something similar out of sheet aluminium but that will fit my set-up better - either that or flip the FMIC and re-route the pipework

 

Where did you get that filter from then, and this will be good when its done hopefully

 

Picked it up secondhand - although it was unused

It's a K&N universal filter with an OE size neck

 

Looking Good.SJ.

 

Whats the actual size of it mate

 

Really like your thread
Phil

 

Not sure, if it's light when I get home tonight I'll measure it up but more likely tomorrow before I can do that

 

no problem at all cheers

 

Too late tonight bud but I finish early on a Friday

 

Hey bud, my K&N is 23cm long, 15cm diameter and an OE size neck

 

cheers mate i was looking at a kn filter but its was 356mm long which is like another 12 cm longer than yours and yours looks massive

 

Nice project thread. Subscribed!

 

So having a few issues with the running of the car, seems that the WRX loom doesnt run the STI engine properly so i have 2 choices i fork out for a second hand STI loom and take all my engine and all that out again to fit it all in, or i just buy another shell but a STI one with a complete loom in it and then just throw all the bits from my project onto another shell......

to be fair i gotta take the engine out to do both so i think i gonna start again but with a STI shell rather than the WRX shell


So WRX shell with be bare soon and up for sale when i have stripped all my bits off it again

 

Had a re think about its and to be fair im just gonna get a STI loom and re fit that im thinking as ive come to far to strip it down and start again












So the loom is out now and ready for the STI loom to come next month but as its stripped i might look to get the cage all in and done first before i put it back together
