Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...



  Evo 5 RS
Sell it to me.


Adore this car :). Wouldn't even bother me with the huge levels of bought not built :p. It's the perfect STi.
 
  182
Just had an hour or so to kill so read through this thread from the beginning. So many nice touches here and there that I'd forgotten about.

Stunning car and such a meticulous build.

Just superb.

Had the car up on stands as the wheels were getting the Michelins put on.
Naturally the new Volks got clayed, polished and waxed.
Glad I did as they came up pretty nice. :)

While she was up on stands I decided to drop the arch liners and give her a good scrub. Dropped the discs off to clean them up too. The front calipers are getting an overhaul this winter and the rear Brembos are getting sold.

However a mishap with the pressure washer meant I managed to rip some paint clean off my front fog cover. :rolleyes:

With that done I figured they would need re painting anyway so decided to redesign the intake ducts up front for something a bit more aggressive.


So the covers have had the chop and will get all new designed ducts grafted in.
You'll see they have been cut inline with the flutes on the Prodrive covers.

A bit more work stripping the car of gauges.


All the Defis are now sold and so are the steering column mounted wideband and act.
The dash will be all coming out for a refresh soon anyway so wasn't bothered about the mess. Lol

All out and tied up.

Thanks to Tim @ JTi for the superb service and the replacement Toucan and sensor that will be going in.

Fitted new sensors for the Toucan and run the cables into the cabin. However I need to wire them into the Syvecs.
In that note, I fancy changing the dash around again this winter. So decided I may aswell just take it out as it easier to get to everything and make everything neater.
Going to have a serious cable cul before it goes back in. I hate that it's all so damn messy behind there.

I seem to remember this car off scoobynet - I had the same one in standard form with PPP

Hardly any of these blue/black Prodrive style Impreza's about

Made up a little sub loom to run the Toucan from using an ISO connector. It has everything you need, 12v live, Ign live, ground and illumination.
Put it on Deans plugs as it's always nice and easy to unplug if I need to. Not wired in my sensors yet, but all cables have been run. Great to get the Toucan powered up though, it's such a smart little unit. I don't know why I've left it this long to get one. :)

Work in progress, and I know this will split opinion.
Will be sanded smooth and flocked inside and out to blend in with the rest. Taking a gamble but I think this is gonna look pretty cool.


I've made a speed camera ;)

All new prototype Intake ducts are well underway. Still got a way to go to get the angles just right but it's getting there. They're much much bigger than the previous intakes and should feed the oil cooler and wing box far more efficiently.


Should look pretty aggressive too.


Sorry for the rubbish photos, it was getting dark.

Something that's been bugging me a while is that the Syvecs calibration switch comes with a numbered sticker.
This sticker eventually starts to peel, or if like me you want to move the rotary switch, you need another sticker.
Today I made up a small brushed stainless plaque and laser etched the numbers on.
I didn't bother writing a program for it, or punching out the disc as it would bend. I just done it by hand but I think it's come out pretty damn well.


Even etched Syvecs on the bottom...
Tart :D

All quiet here what with house and wedding planning.
However the car is 75% ready to go in for some treatment and work on the prototype fog covers continues. These are just mock ups for now and don't represent their finish once completed.

The Brembos currently fitting are the stock 2 piston 315mm items. These are 335mm 4 pots matched to the 356mm 6 pots up front. So should tighten the brake balance up nicely.
