Hi all,
happy Christmas to all. I'm slowly acquiring parts to upgrade the from of my 1993 WRX jap. import. So far I have all I have got is the 1998 front bumper (a few scuffs and the usual stone chips) Fitted with a STi4 3pc front lip spoiler & a Set clear indicators, & grill, Lights are not a problem as I'm going to get a set of morretts. Now for the questions Bonnet, I like the shape of the new bonnets & I need it so that it fits the lights correctly, but the scoop, I know its wrong for earlier cars, shape, position, air flow over the inter cooler & the turbo chimney, is there a kit to change this air flow properties, or do I just leave it as is & suffer hot spots ?? Has anyone else done this upgrade if so what did you do ?? Front Number plate, anyone know if its legal to put a plate on the lip spoiler rather than hanging in the usual place in front of the radiator ? Sorry for so many questions. Cheers |

i have nearly completed my front end facelift. Bonnet was being sprayed up today. I too am a little worried about the ducting but may try to make some up for the intercooler I got my parts from Midland Impreza , good blokes , did me a good deal |
I don't know the solution to the intercooler issue, but if your budget will stretch further have you considered looking at having a front mounted intercooler?
|
I would love a FMIC but funds wont let me at the moment
|
Ah well just a thought, not too sure re the intercooler.......
|
anyone
|
I fitted the facelift front end a few months back now and have been woundering what to do about the intercooler ducting ever since. Still not reached a definate conclusion but for now im just gonna use some aluminium and do a bit of a DIY duct (as Adam M did). I do have plans for a FMIC when i've got enough funds for the LINK ECU etc.
If you come up with a bright idea in the mean time let me know (you'd think someone out there would have manufactured a new duct to screw to the underside of the bonnet, i wouldn't mind spending a bit of money on it either!) Tony. |
my facelifted bonnet is now fitted , and a thought is to fit the ducting off the pre facelift bonnet and try and retro fit it to the new bonnet anyone tried this or is it a non starter ??
|
Lumpy,
How much did you pay for the bonnet, the spraying & fitting ?? |
Lumpy ???? its Lumby, the engine quite often sound lumpy though!
I paid approx £500 for bonnet, grille £90ish , and i paid £180 for spraying. Plus i have paid £100 for some second hand later headlamps which i am still awaiting to complete the facelift. hope that helps . |

Sorry I could not speel yesterday. Sounds expensive for a bonnet. |
What have you all done with your old bonnets, a customer of mine has been in a bit of an accident and needs a new pre-facelift bonnet (alu if possible), would you sell?
Please email me if so. Thanks and merry christmas, Rob. |

pattern bonnets are cheaper I know , but you dont get the scoops and vents and all the ancillaries for the underside , I reckon i got a good deal.The second hand bonnet fitted like a glove so no complaints there either. The scoops alone cost a fortune new. |
