Damn, that thing looks pimp!! Where'd you get the fog light covers? Also is that a custom front bumper lip? Any more exterior pics of that car?

Thanks,
Mark

The lip is original suby Sti lip from Japan. The fog light covers where made by myself.....I just get so bored on the week ends. I also modified the grille with some Sti mesh. It's a pitty postage would kill you guy's...
cause I'm having a mould of the lip done here in OZ. Every one here wants one too...these are getting so rare now.

bud shipping is not a problem. :D If you are willing to send more than a few of these over here, I'm sure there'd be plenty of people willing to split the cost of shipping. If you do decide to hook us up, you can always include some various other things we didn't recieve this side of the pacific :D I'd be more than willing to pay for quite a few things, and for your time getting them.

she'ss a beauty, and clean too... you'd probably have a heart attack if you saw my engine bay :shock:

is that a heat shield around the clutch cylinder reservoir?

do i also see a oil catch can? if so did you find it useful or not?

thanks and keep up the amazing work on that car :D

Coil on plug.

The coilpacks are on top of the plugs, like the WRX.

so it goes straight from the ignitor?

Had to go to a city muster last night sorry for not replying on some
questions.
is that a heat shield around the clutch cylinder reservoir?
Yes......
Dont like the chrome or stickers.
:roll: :roll: sorry I should have known. ciper maybe post yours up and I can look at what yours looks like without the chrome and stickers.
do i also see a oil catch can? if so did you find it useful or not?
Yep......I do cause it keeps all the oil mist from getting into the intercooler, turbo, B.O.V. and gathers all the vapours to the can and it is emptied out at the major services.
where di you relocate the coil and wires to?
The coilpacks are on top of the plugs. It's a pretty suspect system I might
at some stage go for a direct hit system. If I can find room to mount it some where.

rs92turbo: Dont give me the roll eyes. Why did you post your cars pictures? I think it was to get feedback.

I guess we should all be mindless and give you thumbs up no matter what you do :roll: :roll: :roll:

THAWA - Yes, the early coil-on-plug coils connect directly to the ignitor. Later Subaru coil-on-plug systems incorporate individual ignitors into the coils, so the coils connect straight to the ECU.

NuwanD - It was my understanding that all RHD Subaru turbos had heat shields around the clutch master cylinder because of its proximity to the turbocharger.

:shock: :shock: In respect to the other members on this forum... ciper: I'll keep my opinions of you to myself so we don't bore them with a flaming war. I'm sorry for the roll eyes. Guess I hit 2 nerves. Consider this the final say on the matter.
Thanks 4 the support guys.

get the bosch coils and do the parallel fuel rail mod, power delivery is much smoother. love the way the car has turned out!

ciper, my mother always said if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.........

Hey rs92turbo,

Could ya keep us up to date on those front bumper spoilers your having made? I bet alot of us here would like to get such a kick ass part for our cars, since nothing is available here. You mentioned that it was originally an STi part or somthing? was it an actual part made for the bc/bf Legacy, or a part for the impreza made to fit your Legacy?

Thanks,
Mark

I would also love one of those lips. I've been toying with the idea of making something similar out of sheet ABS, but it wouldn't look as nice or stock. Would it fit the earlier style face?

Let me rephrase the post, you guys are obviously too damn sensative. I dont believe in being fake. No hard feelings where intended!




The car looks clean, the lower grill is something I wish I could have. Is that a real STI strut bar? I like the intake replacement pipe from RevLimit but I checked the site and its a little pricey. Did you use Zip Ties on the vacuum lines? The engine bay would look perfect if it wasnt for the chrome or stickers, they really take away from the beauty of the engine itself. You shouldnt go half way, either make a powerful clean engine (function) or chrome everything in site (form)



Is that better? No reason for me to say great job without telling you what should be done different.
