i'd be pleased with half that ;) (the bhp i mean!)

lmfao

If mine shrinks any more I'll be peeing out of my bum! :-D

:rofl:

Looking forward to see the end result mate, looking great so far!!!

Nice, what turbo you planning to use?

Havent decided for sure yet but probaly GT35R

I have one for sale.. but that wasn't why I was curious :)

Simon

Is it a 2 or 2.1? if you want any advise give me a shout ;-)

jun call it a 2.2 but its acctually 2123cc.

I take it those pics aren't in date order, lol :D

Should be an interesting project.



All the best with it mate :yeah:

[/QUOTE] No not in date order lol

Cheers dude.

Just got home after doing somthing pritty shocking to the car :-o, pic's to follow!!!!!!!!

That sounds interesting. 8-)

No i wasn't drunk!

very nice, I like!

Finished one of the wheel arch tubs last night, they had to extended to meet the wide arch kit. I have made the arch the same hight as the front so i should be able to get the car very low if i want to.

Finally!!!!!!! managed to upload pics after having issues with my computer. Done a fair amount since last up dating, both inner arch extensions are welded on, both quarter panels are cut and trimmed to shape, I've managed to fabricate a lip on the inner edge of the quarter panels to ensure a strong fixing between the inner and outer arch, had some 2.5mm fiber glass sheet made with fire retardent in to panel off the boot area, fabricated rear bumper mounts, made a mould for the boot floor panel to take the battery and have had it made in fiber glass again with fire retardent in,seat mounts done, brought my wheels and suspension and done most of the rear diffuser and bumper but thats a story in it's self.

Few pics of my rear diffuser, first off i measured everything up and did a techincal drawing, made a mould out of wood then sent it off to have a fiberglass product made off of it. Offered the product up to the rear bumper and cut it out to meet the diffuser, then fabricated a lip on the back of the bumper for the diffuser to attach to. Filled in the difference between the bumper and the diffuser and blended them in. Its not finished yet but you get the idea, the plan is to bring the exhaust out in the middle below the number plate.

blimey thats moved on from when i last saw it :doubleup:

can't open the second load of pics larger but from what i can see, thats one huge diffuser :mrgreen:

(will be in touch soon, got a couple of cars to get serviced!)

Think iv sorted it :-).

that works mate, looks cool :ok:

Looking good

Coming on nicely

Thats really coming on now. Looking the absolute dogs :10:

Awesome work! Great technical ability you have there...

Its going to look the nuts, had the pleasure of seeing it yesterday and the defuser looks awesome.8-)

Just thought I would share my latest purchase with you all, will be making a start on fabricating the manifold over christmas so will keep you updated.

nice, very nice

Cheers Simon :grin:

Managed to get the turbo mounted over the holiday, have sent off the design for the intacooler to a fue companys to get prices now, dry sump is on order so as soon as i get it i will be getting on with the exhaust manifold.

Can't enlarge the thumbnails Brent!

works for me :)

interesting turbo setup!

works now for me as well:ok:

looking good.. however to go to the trouble of making a custom manifold and up and downpipe I would have put the turbo at the front as you have made the uppipe length longer which will make it more laggy. Not being negative just my opinion btw.

Simon

This is really taking shape, saw the turbo on the other days and it maahhooosive!.

That is a hooooge turbo

I have mounted the turbo at the top for a few reasons, so that it gets constant cool air through the bonnet scoop, also so that I can make the inlet pipework as short as possible with the least amount of bends and so that I have plenty of room in the front inner arches to fit my oil cooler in one side and have the dry sump tank in the other...and finally so I can get a MAHOOSIVE front mount intercooler in there! With this set up I can get an intercooler with a bigger frontage and bigger cooling capacity than the biggest APS intercooler for the impreza. :wink:

Seen it there on a few American cars but not over here, nice to see something different :)

Looking very nice :)

Where did you get the 22b kit from?

Will be very intresting to see how the BW turbo get on.

Cheers guys :ok:
22b kit came from HT autos, the fit is pritty good apart from the fuel flap and its a bit wavy in places. Nothing a good body shop cant sort out.

very nice,that will be one for next years ses calendar :10:

about time you updated Brent :wink:

he's too busy fixing everyone else's scoobs rather than his own :lol:

your not wrong. was up at his place yesterday picking up my car. he said hes been flat out for quite a while now.

Not seen this thread before, looks like a very interesting project: I look forward to seeing how it turns out! :doubleup:

Loving this thread... Keep the posts coming mate....

Custom intercooler made now, and its pretty dam big (120mm core). I've made up the subframe to take the intercooler and radiator, whilst trying to keep the weight as far back as possible. Not very impressed with the front bumper as it is totally the wrong shape and fits really badly, so that will be going in the bin and will be ordering a different one soon. Bonnet pins have been fitted and have just made a start on de-weighting the doors.

sure its big enough mate!?

trying to compensate for something? :whistle: :D

Intercooler is a work of art. :drive:

Is that an alisports intercooler Brent?

Impressive kit matey :doubleup:

That looks like a intercooler of a truck..... :lol: Love it mate....:nod:

I designed the intercooler and had it made by AH fabrications £££££££:angst:.

Worth it though AH are the dogs

Like they say you get what you pay for, there quality of work is superb.

saw it yesterday and it was bloody huge!!!!!!

Hi everyone

I never really get around to up dating this thread so if you would like to check out my progress on the car please have a look at my facebook page.
You will find it under Subaru Project in my albums.

Cheers
Brent

Is it finished yet? :D

:lol:

its more finished... ish!

Agreed apart from the bit about throwing it in the bin. A good bodyshop can sort it.

I've since smashed mine in an accident however, and will be buying one from ABW

It will never be finished.....probably :lol:

:) He saw mine with his old alloys and I think that lit some fire the other week ;)

Good stuff, progress is progress mate! You'll have made more significant changes to your car this year than I will have to mine! ;-)

Finally had some decent progress on the car over the Christmas period, should be looking pretty good in the next couple of months.

Very nice mate....look forward to seeing it close up.

Looking very good Brent! :)

SAME!

It's good to see you getting on with this project :) I can remember visiting you ages ago for an MOT on the old wagon and this being sat in the corner, with the Turbo placed in there, looked quite.... scary :)

good stuff! :)

Sawit Monday it's looking very good...excellent paint

Turbo still going in an 'interesting' location?

:agreed: looks mint!

Got to get both the scoob and the mondeo serviced at some point in the next month or two so might have to pop down and have a look :)

Saw it today,paint job looks cracking.On the road later this year.

Nice to see it taking shape mate.

So impressive

Well, it's got to that time of year where work is staring to quiet down after the race season so managed to get some time on the car at last...

Christ on a bike, that looks nuts. I wonder how it'll sound!

Good to see if coming along mate :ok:

Look forward to seeing it running in 2 years time ;)

Challenge accepted?

I thought we had to wait long enough for Project Binky instalments, then I re-read this thread. :wave:

Just trying to remember the first time I saw it, must have been 4 years ago at least!

Looking Good.. :10:

you never quiet down there you always have my van to work on lol,and car looks awesome Brent

so nearly there

very very nice indeed.

Looking good Brent,hopefully Christmas will bring you a few more bits to fit!!!!

Thought I recognised the car, and its surroundings. Last time you posted on here Brent I wasn't even a member. Looking good!

Look an absolute monster - can't wait to see it in the flesh :ok:

Thanks for all the comment's guys, I'm flat out on the engine now. Heads are off for machining and blocks are bored ready for assembly. Running early next year I hope!
