well its all back together, with A/C !!

i am super excited to have A/C back in the car, which means those hot summer days in the rain i can see out the fog windows, on the hwy i can roll up the windows so its nice and quiet in the car driving along.

I just scanned through the 6 pages quickly, I will definitely take the time to read this whole thread sometime soon. Looks awesome. Any chance you can fix the pics that don't work? There's quite a few of them throughout the thread.

Wow!

My 1st car was an 81 Subaru GLF and I remember a guy in high school who had the same car as you new, he would make all 4 tires spin...

3000km later he burned the clutch. His parents were not happy

Your car looks amazing, I will read the whole thing when I have more time.

the glf are sweet subarus also, little different style but nice little cars, there is one where i live and its in really good shape might pick it up and do a na swap.













i was thinking mine was to big LOL

beam is sliced up and Reinforced ready to go !.. thank you Nam@NVauto for letting me use that fantastic plasma cutter you own !... short work beats the old hack saw way for sure, i need one for my place in the future.

the cooler sure is not small lol, overkill in size for sure but for the future well planned out

6" thick lol

so the broken spun rod bearing motor with the wiseco pistons and manley rods is alive !! motor #1 EJ22T she lives and is running ok !

but that was just to bleed coolant and do the flush and check everything over. OK SUBARU !


motor #2 (aka the spare), EJ22T with wiseco pistons (@ machine shop getting fitted), Carillo Rods, ACL race bearings.

thanks to Dov@NVauto for my pistons and rods !

i picked this time around the super light weight SA rods from carrillo ! on my turbo legacy i used the very expensive and rugged H beam version. ill try something different with the spare.

the seat base creation like the passenger i had to make. its all 304L SS so no rust after 50years !... tig weld and we are good to go !..

well its been a while, i have been running the motor in a bit all is good ! even beat it up a bit with out a intercooler on she feels good.

what i have been doing to get it done so far is all this stuff.

Recaro seats are both in & i think best freaking seat out there hands down !.. my favourite mod for sure there that good.

so i got the intercooler mounted, she looks ok so far.

so instead of cutting the only mint condition bumper cover left on the plant rare to the Canadian models of the GL-10, I found some scrap yard in West coast Canada that had 2 skins with full Re-Bar set up.

just need to paint the lower section white like the original I have put away for safe keeping.

also who would have new that the BRZ rad is the same size and thicker with the bigger ports !.. its needs a bit of work to put in but same size and 2 Row !

and to make sure I can view all my sensors a AIM MXL Strada

so far this is how i mounted the aim cluster but i think i will change it once my spare cluster comes in from the scrap yards. the flush mount should look much better if it fits.

also from japan ! L'aunsport http://www.launsport.com/ WRC hood vents from GR Subaru model. Eita is a great guy even sent me books on subarus and mesh.

these vents are like subaru america rally car ones with out the hole trim, they have the L shape thing and just cut out.

yes I know I feel the same way on the intercooler !! but for the power and set up I have to, its one of things I really need for the power set up ill be making.

I wanted to paint it black but the guy at bell intercoolers said you would need to get a "special" coating, I forgot the name of the coating or else the cooler will lose power from what he told me.

i really wanted to paint the top half white, bottom half black... so from 20 feet it looks super stock lol

























decide to change the cluster set up cant have it the other way, so my scrap yard cluster came in and I made a template out of paper then on aluminium. just need turn lights, VDO fuel guage, high beams and its ready to be put in after paint job.

that's not the oem cluster out my car ! I have it put away.

test fit looks good
