subaru impreza project

[madmatt]

Niiice, you guys using it as a "technical exercise" or is it mostly prior knowledge?

 

[TURBO]

well its a bit of both really!! :roll:

we have build lots of scoobs around the 600 mark and we have lots of other customers who are running four figures with or without gas (not scoobs) so we thought we would try and combine the two :twisted: :twisted:

my boss is trying to move away from the jap side of the business and leave that to his son, he wants to focus on the big boys drag toys

 

[TURBO]

not a lot happening here i know but i do now have a very very cool fuel set up

 

[madmatt]

*is surprised the carpet is still in the damn thing* :lol:

Nice set up though
Do you have to run a dry break so the governing body can sample it or is it not going to be that serious?

 

[TURBO]

:lol: yea soz about the carpet :lol:

we havnt stripped the car yet :roll: we wanted to get the engine all done and all the drilling/welding done on the body then we will strip it and sent it off to the body shop

 

[TURBO]

been playing scoob over the last few nights :twisted: and madmatt has made us notice something, so far all of the work we have done has been engine or engine related.we have been trial fitting everything and then making it fit the car if needs be.
once its a runner we were planning on sripping it and attacking it with a grinder or two to remove any excess weight and then sending it off to the bodyshop to be made look good BUT due to the fact its still a standard scoob we may get it up and running and then "gently" run it on the road for a week or so and see what we can upset :twisted: :twisted:

anyway "running" seems like a way off yet :roll: so here is the first mock up of the exhaust

 

[madmatt]

MMMM, VBand Turbo
Is that the "twisted turbo" set up as well?

What Wastegate are you planning on running with it?

EDIT: Just noticed the Revolution Wheels too

[madmatt]

I might be "noisey" but I'm only being nosy

Shaping up to be an awesome build

 

[TURBO]

I don't mind mate u be as noisey as u like :mrgreen:

So what u think of using it as a sleeper for a while
:twisted: :twisted:
Could b a giggle but I'm not sure how road tyres will handle it

You still never answered the questions :lol:

Get a black FMIC on it and run the exhaust with an ECV (but I'm not sure if anyone does it for a 4 inch pipe) so you can just open it up when you want to be LOUD, then it'll be cool as hell :lol:

You'd have to run big brakes and Semi Slicks on it as well though, might mar the "sleeper" look though
That as well as the flames spitting out from underneath the car from your wastegate :twisted:

 

[TURBO]

im gona be using a custom made exhaust that we have made a few of for customers and they are famous for throwing flames out the back :twisted:
(espec on this setup)
so with that and the external wastegate people are gona think my cars on fire :lol:

its prob gona be pretty undriveable on the road tbh :?
but we might have to give it a go :twisted:

i reckon some steel rims to hide the brakes fitted with some budget tyres :lol:

 

[madmatt]

HA!
BANDED STEELIES FTW

Just stick some Nangkangs on them :lol:
Watch the rubber stay on the tarmac as they de-laminate
