Hey guys, I dont really know very many people on here but here is a few pics of my car at the recent Supershow, 99% complete now & almost ready to turn the key

Have to ask, where is the alternator and the power steering resevoir etc and the associated wiring loom?

Thanks guys I built the car pretty much myself & all been done DIY in my shed Paint etc but Ronnie Lim from RSL made me the headers up & piping to how I wanted, my old turbo is for sale btw so send me a pm if you did want it

Yeah cam angle sensor etc everything is all there, I just took the loom apart & pretty much built a new loom up & its all been covered in braided wiring sleeving in black so its very hard to see it there unless you really look.

b]Mounted the alternator underneath the engine because with these headers it makes HEAPS of room at the front of the engine[/b]I ran with the original engine because as most people always say it was never meant to spiral out of control like this so stuck with the original RA closed deck block etc

i vacuumed and mothered my interior so it has that new car smell.

I just love it when someone gets in your car an knows you look after it, my cars 14years old but you wouldn\'t know it.

More of a trailor queen than Reuben haha, how do you check your oil?

You may want to look at running a catch can off the head breathers otherwise you\'ll have oil vapour messing up your shiney bits

[XSCIV1]

Thanks for the feedback - It is a bit of a trailer queen to be fair but it will be a 100% driveable car in the near future.

The alternator has been relocated to underneath the engine & the power steering has been taken out completely because with the vehicle being this light power steering is almost not necessary.

The breather filters are just there to serve the purpose of a tidy set up, I have a 1.5L catch can with -8 lines which can be mounted for track/street use

Alot of hours/time & research have gone into building this car & it isnt about to stop there but please feel free to advise me with anything you experienced subaru people out there.

Plenty more builds are underway aswell so keep checking the FB page.

Dropped the gearbox, and front struts, picked up the new suspension and tyres, paid for the RA gearbox and diff.

there is another bracket at the back i used. not sure if its the right one LOL its bolted close to where the bracket to the up pipe is bolted to.

Woahhh dodgy engine removal there my bro! We usually use a big strop around the intake manifold & pull it straight forward to get it off a the gearbox studs then straight up.

Put a jack underneath the gearbox to lift the engine & box off the subframe mounts & your away. Btw nice alternator bracket/bearing & belt set up... haha it looks like I forgot to show you it needs a bush machined up for that bolt that tensions the alternator..I think I have it here too bro so I will try find it & let you know

Also it looks like you need my modified power steering pump bracket because when all fitted it up it should leave lots of room around the throttlebody like below

[Stoffa]

ooooh nice welds
