did them myself. bought some single xenon bmw projectors with d2s ballasts and capsules. wired in a single relay circuit to the stock headlight harness. they turned out pretty well i think.
heres an update on some things ive done this week:
finished building adapter brackets to install my perrin fuel rails and agency power 740cc injectors into my customized 99 intake manifold. used all stainless hardware to put eveything together - all looks good!
Pics:
just ordered a longer belt and started work on a flipped alternator adjustment bracket so i can move the alternator where the a/c compressor was. cant wait to get this manifold flipped!!
also installed an sti badge (+29hp) got it to go with my genuine sti fog covers and since i do have sti parts, i didnt really feel too bad about sporting the sti badges haha
Thanks man, appreciate it. The E-manage it almost wired in. I'm just paranoid it won't fire up the first time:/
And yea, i'm suck of all the fabrication haha. But yes, it will be sooo worth it in the end.
And this build looks tight man, be sure to update it regularly with pictures! (unlike me)
got the turbo installed - just need to have a wideband bung welded into the downpipe and have the downpipe extended because its JDM spec and my catback is USDM sti spec. I also need to fabricate an intake and intercooler piping to connect it to my cx racing fmic setup.
that turbo is beast in the engine bay, its like buying a TV at costco - when you are in there the tv looks small, but u get it home and dont know why you bought such a big tv! well the turbo seemed eh decent size in my living room, get it in the car and cant believe it fits!
custom flipped manifold complete. test fitted and it fits very nicely and clears the hood just barely. working on a flipped alternator belt tension adjustment bracket and this mod will be complete.
mods to the manifold include:
99 manifold w/ no air assist
shaved all tabs off that werent used
polished
modifed coil pack mounting pillars
obnoxious motorsports vac manifold directly plumbed
all unused nipples were capped
perrin fuel rails for 02-05wrx
custom adapter plates/hardware to mount perrin rails
agency power 740cc injectors
deleted PCV valve and use atmospheric setup
added new port for brake booster
removed throttle cable connector for the cruise control (hits power steering reservoir)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY
My Goals:
ID Vehicle: To simplify repairs/fixes/etc I'd love to know the cars history.
Main focus: handling, functionality, reliability.
End goal, yes the beaten horse "22b" exterior styling.
Technical Research (I'll post all my reading/research material links here)...
UPDATED PAGE 4
owned this 2.5rs for about 7 years. Rushed to get it after selling my 08 wrx. Did not do a carfax on it, i just bought it with no research.
Later found out it was involved in an accident or 2, was pretty bummed about that. but i finally got a 2.5rs like i've always wanted.
fast...
Greetings. This thread has been a while coming but I figured now as as good a time as any to begin as I have finally finished repairing my Outback Sport and am able to focus more on my RS. A little history: I purchased this car approximately 2 years ago following the sale of my 2004 WRX. I...
About Me:
I've been browsing this forum for a bit and finally have a reason to create a journal. My name is Jess and I purchased the RS I wanted in July 2013. I had a couple opportunities to purchase a sedan RS, but I wanted to hold out for a coupe. Being that I lived in Oregon, the prices for...
In anticipation of needing another reliable daily driver car, and having always wanted to build a GF wagon, I've been looking for a clean wagon for a month or so. This past Friday I purchased this 1998 Impreza L wagon to be the basis for the project. I'll use this journal to document my plans...
