  1. so one of two boxes from Europe just came in and wow i'm super pumped !! rare euro spec OEM Subaru parts !.. still going through the stuff but just put on these Ver1 Euro spec corner lights that pop out more then the JDM Ver
  2. this is a short clip with all the new toys add. https://www.instagram.com/p/BNVOHVkBY3a/ also add a FIA Rain light so people stay off my rump roast i hope lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/BVvJYRPjDK7/ also got a super rare Nardi Torino Gara Sport 350mm flat bottom steering wheel from japan. today i just got back my was silver Tecnomagnesio rims that have been properly striped and painted to the original Subaru 80's single stage paint my car came with
  3. i add DBA 2 piece rotors for better stopping on the track, the stoptec ones cracked I also add Forged Billet shifter forks, i was sick of the plastic tab suabru used for the stock STi 6MT transmission.
  4. new tires, refreshed the paint on the Enkei ES tarmac 16x8j 5x100 et45
  5. I also swapped out the turbo blanket for the PTP Turbo Blanket, so much better design and construction then the DEI ones that fall apart I also swapped the Sparco Grid seat for a MOMO racing seat with higher bolsters to keep me snug while I'm on the track, the sparco grid is in my wagon version.
  6. so been really slacking on updates but lets try and catch up I add a new turbo the old version died from Anti lag fun lol, new borg warner s300sx-e has better oiling and updated cover
  7. a company in the usa makes them out of fiber yours looks to be the same so new season and new SUPER Rare rims for that 90s style square look, these a hard to find even pictures of them ! JDM 16x8 5x100 ET35 Tecnomagnesio ..MAGNESIUM.. aluminium caps with snap rings wow ! Made In Italy off to the walnut blasting and ready for the gold paint job !
  8. ok this looks good any way to make them 5x114 subaru ? & 5x100 together ?

    My RX v2

    love the work your doing and build ! 225/45R16 on 16x8 et 45 fit perfect front and back.. 45 offset is a good number in the rear.. my set up has 1.5 camber in rear and zero toe any more camber and ill rub the shock.
  10. ill get it for you another cool part from japan R180 STi finned rear diff cover, helps cool the rear diff fluid.
  11. I guess I should update this build thread since new parts are being piled up for my Subaru Leone RX TURBO STi, as of now its in storage for winter but was building the Subaru Leone TURBO WRX NB-R Wagon version which can be found here --> http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2687011 @nico_zone • Instagram photos and videos so I just ordered these EJ22T oil jets brand new from the dealership which if I remember right they couldn't be sold at the dealership which is a myth !.. also got the JDM STi quick steering sticker for my Leone. out of japan I finally found one of these rare STi 6mt Short shifters which was a task and has the serial number right on it from STi factory.
  12. Wow they make a kit in the rear where was all this two years ago lol lol.. O well don't need it now.. I just realized the only way to run 5x114.3 would be to put on brembos STi brakes or find the "special" Jdm rotors in 5x114.3 for the 4pot 2 pot I just want better wheels selection and this swap is going to get costly real quick I'll have to think about it more..
  13. Can wait to see this done looks killer so far keep up the amazing work
  14. WoW I was google searching and some how came this way ! I actually was doing this idea in my head last week with my machine shop !! I'm sick of this 5x100 and limited 16x8 wheels options out there for my white sedan If you make a replica of the rear XT6 hub in 5x114.3 I want a set ASAP ! I run the large STi hub up front with the unboltable bearing and I had to machine the face and drill to get it to 5x100... I rather bolt in the bearing with 5x114.3 and have millions of wheel options !
  15. Video of how quick 4.444 with 13"inch rims is lol
  16. so after getting the car all done I had a problem with my R160 WRX 4.444 axles popping out the diff because there to short.. had to raise the rear and not drive around corners so fast to keep the axles in place.. so after building my other Leone with the V9 STi 6mt and R180 3.900 diff and having no problems at all.. I decide the only way to make this work easy is to find the most rarest diff Subaru made R180 4.444 = GC8 22B or TypeRA-R GC8. some how some way the local JDM shops in Canada had one on had that no body wanted 22B R180 4.444 mechanical Monster ! also got my anttic rims 4x140 machine hub rings so no more shakes at 100kms and beyond
  17. so here is my new ECU in place and super clean job from my buddy Nam at NVauto and of course I have OBD 2 now lol.. simple easy spot to put it in all most looks factory dont want to but if i want to cool the intercooler something has to give.. maybe maybe front mount the top mount so it looks stealth out on the street.. so after getting all the wires and the car running last is the exhust set up.. here we have the oval 3" tube so it dosent scrap and then to the CoastFab muffler all is 304 SS tig welded at NVauto so old school Subaru had the oil pressure on the dash, so I really wanted to get it to work so I have a gauge in the car.. after try many different ways I said F it off to the machine shop to cut this pipe thread down to the proper oil plug size.. top is original part bottom is after, fits like a glove and works perfect in the dash now
  18. That parking brake set up is amazing splinter nice work ! nice to see your back on it again
  19. NVauto JDM WRX NB-R V7 V8 V9 STi wiring harness all complete ready to be added in the mighty LEONE SUPER Wagon !
  20. WOW wish i could have your brat !!! nice job
  21. i cant wait to have them all running and its in a blizzard winter storm i know thats how i feel after the first one, this one will be simple but lots of fun hahaha wish i could do that with other stuff lol thank you all most done now wiring wiring wiring vrooommm LOL its in the mail, tried to go stock but that hump in the hood is a pain in the butt ! so i found one that will work ok i think NEW instagram.... big_bad_wolf_xo https://www.instagram.com/big_bad_wolf_xo/ A/C in, XT6 radiator in, Clamps on, Fluid in... wiring time ! vacuum line adaptor all stock for the heater controls stock part, for the old school swapping guys lol NVAUTO wiring harness built from the JDM wiring for my car.. AVSC JDM NBR WRX open source OBD2 ECU... stock on stock on stock !! like my white Leone Coast Fab SS Race muffler to give it that pureeeeeee.. stock cats after turbo but up pipe delete of course lol
  22. so i decided to cheat and I got a JDM WRX NB editon swap with a 5mt 4.444 r160 with AVCS heads i swapped out the intake manifold with a spare V8 STi and intercooler that i had kicking around she fits like a glove and will have A/C all most done now ready to bring it to my buddy Nam at NVauto for a nice clean stock ecu wiring job so it runs for a very long time all most looks oem lol
  23. these are my new fuel and oil pressure sensors KAsensors and from just installing the oil pressure wow highly accurate like to thank Franz @ Dieboldautosport for hooking me up with these bad boys !
  24. post above has my instagram with videos on the track so since I was on the track and all most lost a motor to a faulty oil pressure sensor leaking I decided to get some proper equipment to finish the system off and new sensors. Radium fuel rails and Bosch FPR adapter to keep it nice and simple and in series on my spare Spec-c V8 STi intake manifold. I can build the proper lines now then swap them on to my Leone also finally finished my new front bumper... JDM/USDM mixed with Canada top trim and impact beam.. fully mutt now lol. all done no more accidents please !!!... next to my favourite year Subaru 2015 got to get one of these
