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

[frayz]

Impressive Subaru!

Welcome to Clio ownership, Really 7k!?

Yes 7k miles from new! Ive personally known both the owners and its been a second car thats been pampered like a baby.

I'll post some pics as soon as i can

 

[bendee]

really really like that exhaust its the one thing i dislike about jap cars and thats spot on.

 

[J0sh]

Im not sure your FMIC is big enough.


Bloody lovely car though.

 

[Gally]

Superb mate.

We're very open minded petrol heads most of the time and you clearly have taste (the exhaust shows) so you'll fit in well!

Crazy miles on the Clio, obviously you bought the worst colour ever invented though.

Keeps us updated.

 

[Christopher]

I think people need to bear in mind that it's still a huge 'Jap can' (cringe), just with the tip turned down. I'm guessing it's still a 4" exit?

There's no doubt it looks good, but it's not really any different to the usual systems, bar the tip.

 

[Gally]

It looks quite small, JDM.

Infact the Yozza 182 tailpipes look bigger!

 

[Christopher]

No chance. lol.

 

[Gally]

I heart you oragami knowledge.

 

[frayz]

The rear box is a 7" dia repackable race silencer. The outlet is 3.5" downswept.

 

[Christopher]

Looks great mate. I guess it needs that huge backbox to be even close to quiet, eh.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Quiet ? Scoob ?

Wakarimasen.

 

[frayz]

Actually you'd be supprised just how quiet it is for a full 3" system. Noise was my total prerequiste for the system. Aswell as the rear 7" round silencer there is a 5x7" oval centre silencer. The whole system is made from thinwall 321 stainless and the only join being a single v-band.

The end result was 91.5dB static and 89dB drive by. The system has lost a lot of the trademark Subaru flat 4 beat due to the use of almost equal length tubular headers. It retains the burble at below 2K rpm. Thereafter it becomes an almost Superbike style howl. Its pretty intoxincating to be honest.

The new setup consists of the same stainless tubular manifold and rear system. However the up and downpipes with wastegate routing have been made in Inconel.

I have an old video somewhere I'll post up of the sound of the car @ 400bhp level pre engine build.

 

[LIL B]

Mines 102 db with a centre silencer and a dual exit

 

[frayz]

Back in the day when she used to wear graphics (dont ask... i hated them)

This is back when it was circa 400bhp

[frayz]

Picked up the Clio last night guys.

First impressions are very very good and im suitably impressed. Looking forward to getting out for a proper drive.

Im like a kid at christmas at the moment

 

[Ali]

That actually looks quite smart for a Subaru!

 

[frayz]

Well guys here she is.

The day I picked her up. 100% stock 182

Excuse the cak phone images. I'll get some proper ones once shes had a clean and i can get out in the sunshine. I wasnt 100% on the colour before i picked it up. But now im quite smitten on it. Still feels and smells like a brand new car, the rear seats have literally never been sat in. Even the door sills still have the protective plastic on them.

 

[Jordi17]

Nice and tidy frayz plus that mileage is unreal

 

[Nick r26r]

that has to be the lowest milage 182 in the uk , to good to go on the road , better left standard IMO and garaged!!!

 

[Scutch]

Stunning machine, mate. My mate has a 570bhp P1 and it's pretty much a coffin on wheels. The acceleration and speed all the way past the needle rest is neck snapping. My own P1 was 380bhp and like sh*t off a very shiny shovel, but his is incredible. All done by Scoobyclinic and RCM.

Love the exhaust on yours, too. Very different

You mean Marty?

If so then that car is now running approx 630bhp

I can't even imagine how quick that feels, mate. My mate's P1 is completely standard and is certainly no slouch!

The 182 looks mint Frayz even for an Inferno.

 

[Nickson]

I love that Impreza!

 

[Martin_172]

that exhaust is a work of art i love it!

 

[Gally]

Looks grand mate.

 

[Scutch]

Nah, it's not Marty, but I'm well aware of that maniac's car

 

[frayz]

Made some progress today

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Giggidy.

Did I park next to your Inferno a couple of days back in Tesco by Dunton ?

/G12 FFE

 

[frayz]

Dunno dude, if you did im afraid i didnt notice lol.

 

[frayz]

Having some greif with the twisted doenpipe that was made so that needs remaking. Done a few more little odds and sods jobs but till the downpipe is remade i cant do too much. Once thats done, both that and the uppipe can either be wrapped or go fer ceramic coating. I cant bolt the engine in on its mounts properly yet till the uppipe is done.

So here i sit and wait

Detailed the 182 today instead

 

[Jordi17]

Engine bay looks immense, top work.

 

[Englebert]

Always like to see people doing it themselves, big respect!

 

[frayz]

Cheers guys, glad you like it

 

[frayz]

More stuff arriving all the time... my postman must be getting pissed off with me by now. This was todays little bundle

Oil cooler bolted up now with a slightly revised duct to aid ease of fitment. Just gotta plumb this up now

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Is this bus on the road ?

If so, bring it into work one day and give me a buzz :approve:

 

[frayz]

Not yet dude, but youre welcome to go in it when shes built

 

[Silent_Scone]

awesome machine, car is a credit to you

 

[frayz]

Oil cooler plumbed in. I'll clip up the lines when the rad gets its final fitting.

Also finally have a downpipe that fits. She dont look much but ive been on hold for this since dropping the motor back in.
So we're back in business, hopefully the homeward run now

 

[LowLife.]

This looks fapping awesome.


I just made a mess, everywhere.

. The system has lost a lot of the trademark Subaru flat 4 beat due to the use of almost equal length tubular headers.

You say it like that's a bad thing, when it's not. They sound s**t.

Not a fan of Scoobs but can appreciate the man hours you've put into this.
