Timo's Turbo, rebuild FCD engine, US bumper, launch control

[Timo]

Maybe a lip indeed, but I won't do the foglights, I want to make some tubes behind to conduct the air to the brakes.

I'm considering the STi lip, but I'm not yet sure if I like it enough

Forgot to place the launch control test movies.....

Timo the car is looking nice! Nice launch control too!

That drivers side group A manifold is way different than the stock ones. The passenger side doesn't appear any different from what I can see. What is the advantage supposed to be? From the video is does seem your car sounds a little different and in a good way. Very nice work. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Your right that the passenger side looks not very different. But it has the same differences as the driver side.

Here you can see the difference a little better with the old manifold.



you can see that the pipes are a little longer, the pipes go a little bit more to the front of the car, close to the other pipe., and (you can't see offcourse) the manifold is much 'smooter' insede.

I can't say if you feel the difference of only the manifold, because I had the whole engine done in once.
The advantage is that the engine has a easier spool up, specialy in low rpm's it helps and the engine runs very easy and smooth.
The sound is indeed different (in a good way) since how I drove before. I really like the sound how it is now.

And will enjoy the car as much as possible

Thanks for the pictures showing the differences. Passenger side difference is very subtle. Now I need to go about finding some. Again, Thanks.

Jeff,

I know I may have given you the link in my email, but I'll post these pics of mine for others as well.
