well today was a perfect day to pull it out and start the work on the car, lots of rain wash the salt away so why not bring the car home.

my new black wheels that are so black i cant get a good pic of them lol

GC8 VOLK Rays STi 5x100 16x7 ET 53 with the proper stickers for how ever long they last lol.










also i was going to use these on my Legacy EG33 build, but ill use them here first. Whitline KSB751 will reduce rear-end float particularly under acceleration... why not fits like a glove lol

made for the new style subaru 1989 to 2007, subaru sure does love re using something that works well over many years.

 

its kind of liek the old saying if it aint broke dont fix it!!

 

What is your opinion on the idea that old forged wheels are dangerous and/or prone to failure due to years of built up material stress?

 

Why would forged be any different than cast or machined? Same stress. When I was researching powder coating I read stories on Porsche forums of guys powder coating forged rims and then competing on them for years. I don't see it as a problem, especially not from a manufacturer like Volk/Rays.

The black TE37s look great on that car! I had LE37s on my previous car.

 

lol true, but if its to slow we need to go more faster hahaha


i dont know, i guess ill have to do a test if anything. ill keep a eye on things i got spare wheels all ready.















well the new BW s300sx FMW fits and is in, along with the JDM STi magnesium valve covers.

also had to take the timing belt off and pulleys so I could get to the oil feed line for the AVCS and get the screens out !.. pain in the butt but i had to get it done.

good thing I have room still for the 4" cone aem filter and set up for this turbo.

I had also changed the vacuum lines for the dual wastegates to hi temp silicone to handle the heat stress in that area.

just need to wait for the turbo pipe I ordered so I can complete it all.











and the new brakes set up with stainless steel pistons better for heat transfer on the fluid

 

Ver 2 turbo pipes all made simple and silicone, with the fancy clamps. soon its time to tune this craziness.

 

Looks great. I like that simple piping.

 

Awesome thread!!! Any videos yet?

 

^^ thanks guys... videos will be soon, i need to tune it first which is coming soon then the track.









so since I am waiting for Franz to come visit and do the magic on the tune for the s300sx, I add some Hella 550 amber retro lights.











and the 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV, 86 Subaru VS 86 Alfa lol

 

When can see see a video of this car in action please

 

Hold it, is that McMaster Hall!! Awesome shot!!
