JDM Spec C roof vent install Project.... 02 Prodrive edition bugeye
 

Following on from my last thread with the flocked WRC style dash, i wanted to go one step further to my WRC inspired car :D

You dont tend to see many people doing this on UK soil so i thought id bite the bullet and have a go. Ive just taken delivery of a full roof vent kit for my STI. All the parts are Genuine Subaru items and the vent was painted by subaru in Japan.

Obviously im not doing this tomorrow as i need to take my time when i do it, but I will post a full running installation thread.

Obviously this involves cutting a hole in my roof so maybe one or two arse clenching moments during instalation but i have faith :D

Check out my JDM lovelyness!!


Now then...
Where did i put that can opener :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

Look forward to seeing the end result :)

Cheers Ed.. knew i could rely on you :D

:D:D as said before mate, more than welcome to take some measurements etc from mine whan needed... :thumb:

Frayz,

I'll be doing this mod very soon also (bugeye too), as a perfectionist, how would you fancy making a template up of the roof and where to cut it and I'm sure a few of us may purchase this off you for a few v-power tokens!

S!

Nice one mate! :eek: :D

Good luck! :thumb:

Cheers Speccy..

Stalked..

i know what youre saying and i'll see when i do it however, i dont want to put myself in a position to be liable for someone cutting their roof in the wrong place.. tbh you just use the framework as a template anyway :D

Bit of topic
 

Frayz, Have you got some sorta cover over your dash? :)

Been flocked mate

Is the roof vent done yet? :sleep:

;) Only joking mate, can't wait to see it :notworthy

Lol

Shes still in the bodyshop till tomorrow, then off to get her a new outfit this week and then i'll be attacking the vent :D

:thumb:

Should have my vent tomorrow :D

Won't be fitted untill some time in March though

I think scousefly means a cover so bits dont get stuck in the flocked dash:)

Dont be daft.. there will be a big poly bag gaffer taped to the inside of the roof. So all debris will fall in there.

Nothing will be spilt in the car. :D

Don't suppose you know if those parts are available for classic shape imprezas?

I'm finding it really hard to find straight RAs - all I've seen are bodge repair jobs.

Want this for my UK car.

Does it reduce the bodyshell ridgidity and let us know if it leaks!

Good luck anyway. :)

Edd - speak to Sajid at Jap performance Parts :thumb:

Good for you Frayz they look great with the cabin vent:thumb:

tell me, is your bonnet vent the sti7 or bigger aftermarket one as it looks massive. Pm and let me know please as im wanting to change my tiny wrx one and improve flow to my newly fitted sti8 tmic:lol1:

Cheers

My car is an STI 7 mate and yes thats the stock scoop, its much bigger than the wrx item :D

Hopefully gonna get the can opener out on Friday :D

good luck..................and remember, when ya brickin it doesn't matter how hard you clench your arse cheeks, just relax, follow through and concentrate on the job at hand. Trousers can be cleaned but you can't polish out a hole in ya roof!!!!

LOL

Cheers mate :D

Where does that bolt to mate, is it between the two rear strut turrets? and does it mean you have to remove the back seat?

Mounts to the OEM seatbelt points and braces betwen the floor too.

Shown fitted here.
