86 Subaru Leone

The nice thing about a lighter-weight car is that you need less brakes to stop it as well. Brakes will probably be overkill. Should fit in well with the rest of it.

you think so, i hope its ok thats good news for me then

Little powder coat action

AWIC in the former spare tire well.

I was thinking that but I need a rad in the front still right ? Or can I run the fluid threw the rad it self plum it in th engine coolent ?

Also I'm useing a Svx rad and it has the AT lines comeing out could that work for a awic ?

Nope the engine coolant is way too hot. Run a cowl underneath and mount it on it's face facing down and run some vents in the hood. Is that a mouth under the bumper?

That is a mouth under the bumper skin but there is no room under there at all it's packed like sardines

I could put a huge awic under the hood but would a little cooler cool it ? How big and does it need a fan ?

I'm keeping my AC for sure in the leone.

Well the only way I can see you pulling it off with a big enough radiator is to mount it with the fins going vertically vs standard horizontal and using a scoop under the bumper to grab oncoming air and push it up through the radiator in front the engine or into the bottom of the engine. I can't think of anything else really if you are going to daily this car. If not, you could tune for meth and run meth all the time instead of an intercooler. A larger air to water intercooler is not going to work better, it's only going to increase pressure drop within the intercooler and soak up more heat under the hood.

^ see on my car i can take the turn sig out and run 90 elbows and put the intercooler on a angle 45 right in the fenders

see this looks like my front and when i take out the signal lights i can run right in the fender well. the guys on usmb never seen a bumper like mine !

its like i got a gift so i dont have to cut anything

[NICO]

So I went and picked up a Jdm spec c version 8 (maybe type RA ?) motor swap Ej207DW7ER TY856WB6JA for heads and tranny diff and way ever else I need to twist my leone in to pretzel lol



Also I was driving to see the boys at Nvauto and I seen a gc impreza on top of another car scrap yard ! so I found the rims I wanted for a steal 250. So I sent them out to the sand blasters to get ready for the powder coating. I'm thinking world rally blue color for the rims

[NICO]

welcome home STi version 8 spec c lol

[Legacy777]

Do you work at a shop or do you actually have a hoist in your garage?
