Cheers mate.SJ.

 

Hi,Everyone just thought I would give you a sneek peek at some of my interior workings including,rear firewall,replacement seat bench and parcel shelf it was a anniversary present from my wife,it's still a work in progress but you should get the ideaplus I am getting my OMP fire extinguisher fitted as well.The firewall is quite unique as it is made out of GRP the same as a cobra bucket seat,I just wanted something abit different as carbon has been done to death now and it's still Super lite which is a good thing.SJ.

 

Looking good SJ

how does the weight saving compare to the addition of the fire extinguisher?

 

That seat bench looks very trick, was it bought or made

 

Well I weighed everything that I removed from the car to compare with the new parts that I would be fitting and the firewall and extinguisher and my new seats and seat frames weight about the same as one and a half Sti seat and I still have my airbags passenger and steering wheel and airbag aircon other brackets still to come out so I reckon I would be saving quite a few KG when I'm finished anything that's not needed is coming out.SJ.

 

Specifically Made to order.SJ.

 

Now, you can't go saying things like that and not tell people where from.

Looks great.

 

I'll have to ask the wife

Thanks mate.SJ.

 

Actually, for the first time I've read the whole thread. Great build mate.

I personally wouldn't have painted the block black though, makes spotting leaks harder IMO.

Other than that, it's all good.

 

I should hope so mate,I'm glad it's up to your high standards don't worry about the black block micky because I am going to be using white oil.SJ.

 

They are painted black so you no it's another quality build by slowboy racing he is working on my 2.35 as we speak I have seen this car and it's very nice love the fire wall to

 

(Quality build)I cannot add any more to that you summed it up completely.SJ.

 

Very nice mate as always top work

 

Thanks craigyit's still a work in progress,but I like the way it is fitting in,its hard to vision it when it's just sheets of GRP,but it's starting to look the part now.SJ.

 

I can see the look your going far and will Deffo look the part aswell as power to weight it will feel like a rocket when it's done

 

Very very nice mate

I love the parcel shelf.

Thinking of doing my firewall again in a lighter material or just thinner ally. Is there any kind of support behind the firewall? Does it flex? Worries I might put a bend in a lighter/thinner material as I often lean against it when working in the back

 

Thanks mate.It's got some flex but would never break,unless you was using it as a trampoline,it's made out of GRP the same stuff as a standard entry bucket seat so it's proper light whilst still being strong,it was part of my plans to get one the only problem is that it's custom made,so after everything it worked out nearly costing the same price as a carbon fibre firewallbut atleast I know there won't be anyone with one designed like it just yetSJ.

 

Also looks great how it's all neat as it meats the carpet. Kinda looks OEM

 

I like it as well mate,I realise it's all in the fitting and that is why it's still a work in progress where still working on the final fit but are 95% there.SJ.

 

Can I make a suggestion?

I'll assume you're retaining your Defi's? Put the boost and Fuel pressure in the A-pillar pod that you already have.

Then you can easily keep an eye on both, to see that the fuel pressure rises with the boost pressure.

 

I Would do,but the pods hold different size gauges,anyway I'm quite use to the layout as I have been clocking them that way for over 9 yearsSJ.

 

Didn't realise you had different sized gauges. As you were, then.

 

Nothing really much to add,but thought I would show you guys anyway that i Just won these reservoir socks on the bay of E for 99p with free delivery last week and they have arrived today,I know that they don't do much,there supposed to be there for brake fluid spillages and aesthetics but hey ho I'm going to put them on anyway oh yes one more thing did turn up my STI battery bar as my wife took my gold Prodrive one to go with the oil cap that she took as well,but atleast she brought me another one.SJ.

BRAKE RESERVOIR SOCKS.


STI BATTERY BAR.

 

99p sometimes eBay is brilliant

 

You can say that again mate,I'm always checking it out for the auctions with the no reserve and 99p starting bids,its good to get a bargain sometimes with the amount of money I've spent.SJ.

 

Mmmmm I do like a bargain too, might be looking on eBay later

 

Hi Adrian.
Cars looking good, just need the heads back. Lucky your having the fire eater system fitted as Neil loves setting these of fire. Lol's
But on a serious note ask Neil before fitting the socks.

 

well after being brainwashed by the scoobynet mishimoto advertisementsI ordered one,It took a while to get to me as the X/LINE model(upgraded version)were not in stock,but it is here nowI am happy as it marks my last modification that i thought that i wanted to upgrade for my project(for now anyway)After reading the blurb about there products i decided it would be the right time to upgrade as nearly everything on my build has been,plus there no quibble lifetime guarantee sold it for meits a mod that most over look as they dont usually(subaru radiators)go wrong and when they do you just get another one simples!!!but thats what projects are about improving on an already excellent base.subaru enthusiast you got to love em.....SJ.

MISHIMOTO RADIATOR AND FAN SHROUD.










Almost forgot the mishimoto radiator hoses.

 

Could have taken the rad etc out the wrapping for a decent picture.

Are the fans plug and play, or do you have to chop the plugs off your OEM ones?

 

Im just being a tart,I just wanted to keep them wrapped up untill there fitted.Yeah there plug and play so no fuffing about,just plug straight in just the way i like it(Ask the wife).SJ.
