It looks like there's a lot of bumper blocking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Didnt know you were turbo http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/10/5y6e7epe.jpg Does your front mount get enough airflow in the way it's set up? It looks like there's a lot of bumper blocking it. I have an 03-04 outback bumper slated for it. Theres really nothing left to my original bumper skin. I had to cut ALOT to get it to fit.

Seems a lot of intercooler for not much cooling I know they're a b**** to plumb on subis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a lot of intercooler for not much cooling I know they're a b**** to plumb on subis. Theres a lot of empty space behind the bumper. This fmic is huge. Either way, outback bumper will help. What doesnt help is that there is no kit made for the BE.. its an 04 sti kit and some of the pipes still arent wide enough. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/10/ure7e9e2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRLancaster Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) So jealous. I'm very slowly building mine. Once I score a second job, then I will easily be able to finish the wagon, hard to build 2 cars, one of them still paying off. So just taking my time with them both http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/T-Ho_man/banner_zps385f97d2.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/T-Ho_man/rear2_zpsea0a7083.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/T-Ho_man/rear_zpsa9cf6435.jpg Edited October 10, 2012 by MRLancaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleriousZ Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 DeleriousZ, Can you tell me if your outback still has the 1" spacer on it for the engine crossmember even though the car is lowered? Or possibly measure how far below your STi TMIC sits below the hood line? I feel like my TMIC sits higher when looking at some photos of your engine bay and I want to figure out what the difference is to create the space. I just don't want the top mount rattling against the hood. Thanks! And your car is sweet BTW. Ben You know, I'm not too sure. I believe the car has Beatrush engine mounts on it, so I would assume that the spacer has also been removed. I don't think I could have gotten the car this low with it in there?

hallowpoint Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 http://imageshack.us/a/img233/3573/54859192.jpg so much potential, looks good already. needs more low and any side pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleriousZ Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 so much potential, looks good already. needs more low and any side pics Rears need to come down, but fronts can't come down any more, it already rubs like crazy around corners (mostly on the inner fenders.) Needs some serious work and a smaller battery to get everything to clear better. http://imageshack.us/a/img707/4750/rr1i.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 When you find a smaller battery that doesnt suck let me know. Im running into issues with my fmic piping and battery fighting for territory. Thinking about doing battery relocation to trunk but hate the idea. I cant seem to find one in the same group with similar cca and rc performance. Looked into optimas as well but theyre all physically too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 And fwiw i like the very subtle rake of your wagon. Makes it that much more aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyFLS Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I agree, I definitely prefer rake. On my other car with coils I have the rear just slightly higher than the front. What are the widths and offsets on it DeleriousZ? I'm looking at Varrstoen 17x9 +35 but I don't really know what offsets work on these cars and I want to be flush, not poked or sunken. Infiniti big sedans (Q & M) I know the offsets like a book, but these cars have such high offsets (I have 9" -11 & 10" +6 on my M) so +35 is whole new territory for me.

DeleriousZ Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The wheels are 18x9.5 et25, tires are 225/40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyFLS Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 cool, since you're poked, at +35 should be fairly flush and a 215/45 would have a nice little stretch. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1055 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Mine is some sort of plastic. Its a direct replacement dot approved crash repair part. I got mine from keystone for $80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1055 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 So to answer your question, yes.. PP or ABS or some type of urethane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
