Cheers dude.

Just got home after doing somthing pritty shocking to the car

, pic's to follow!!!!!!!!

#26 14-03-2010, 08:56 PM

That sounds interesting.

Broadside Brenda · #27 16-03-2010, 08:11 PM

No i wasn't drunk!

Jolly Green Monster · #28 16-03-2010, 11:30 PM

very nice, I like!

Broadside Brenda · #29 21-03-2010, 03:15 PM

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.

Broadside Brenda · #30 14-09-2010, 09:22 PM

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.

Broadside Brenda · #31 14-09-2010, 09:27 PM

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.

Steve_PPP · #32 14-09-2010, 09:35 PM

blimey thats moved on from when i last saw it

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

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

Broadside Brenda · #33 14-09-2010, 09:57 PM

Think iv sorted it

.

Steve_PPP · #34 14-09-2010, 10:01 PM

that works mate, looks cool

Chunk · #35 15-09-2010, 08:53 AM

Looking good

Coming on nicely

#36 15-09-2010, 09:29 AM

Thats really coming on now. Looking the absolute dogs

Spooky · #37 15-09-2010, 09:51 AM

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

Lucky · #38 15-09-2010, 07:43 PM

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

Broadside Brenda · #39 20-12-2010, 09:51 PM

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.

Jolly Green Monster · #40 20-12-2010, 09:58 PM

nice, very nice

Broadside Brenda · #41 06-01-2011, 09:08 PM

Cheers Simon

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.

Hongkongfooi · #42 06-01-2011, 09:58 PM

Can't enlarge the thumbnails Brent!

Steve_PPP · #43 06-01-2011, 10:21 PM

interesting turbo setup!

Hongkongfooi · #44 07-01-2011, 09:49 AM

works now for me as well

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

Lucky · #46 07-01-2011, 12:34 PM

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

Chunk · #47 07-01-2011, 05:38 PM

That is a hooooge turbo

Simon

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.

Anger · #49 07-01-2011, 10:19 PM

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

Mike L · #50 08-01-2011, 10:25 AM

Looking very nice

Where did you get the 22b kit from?

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

Broadside Brenda · #51 08-01-2011, 02:24 PM

Cheers guys

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.

ralliart didz · #52 08-01-2011, 07:34 PM

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

fieldy · #53 02-04-2011, 09:48 PM

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

tbtstt · #56 04-04-2011, 04:17 PM

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

Tyler · #57 05-04-2011, 10:24 AM

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

Broadside Brenda · #58 05-04-2011, 10:13 PM

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.

Steve_PPP · #59 05-04-2011, 10:35 PM

sure its big enough mate!?

trying to compensate for something?

#60 05-04-2011, 10:36 PM

Intercooler is a work of art.

Legacydan · #61 05-04-2011, 11:45 PM

Is that an alisports intercooler Brent?

#62 06-04-2011, 09:27 AM

Impressive kit matey

Tyler · #63 06-04-2011, 12:27 PM

That looks like a intercooler of a truck.....

Love it mate....

Broadside Brenda · #64 06-04-2011, 12:35 PM

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

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.

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

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

ScoobyStu · #75 15-09-2013, 08:49 PM

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

Broadside Brenda · #76 07-01-2014, 09:09 PM

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

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!

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