I would have lined up my circles to make sure they were even with eachother... wait a second, no i wouldnt... cause i would never have done anything like that. Way to ruin a pair of hard-to-find coupe rear taillights. -Brian

Only EA81 body styles ive ever seen with 5lug were crazy EJ20TT swaps and dropped WRX conversions. I'd imagine it could be done, the 6 lug conversion is alot easier however. -Brian

Why not modify the WRX Scoop to fit, then make a mold of the modified scoop? -Brian

I'll have a WRX scoop you can use Odd... But i need it back (shortened by 5" HAHAHAHA) -Brian

Headgaskets sometimes dont give fair warning. Not impossible to blow a gasket, expecially right after doing some dyno runs. -Brian

gotchya -Brian

THats another idea I have. As a matter of fact, i just won a 2002 WRX scoop off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7965915724 What did you use to re-attatch the Scoop? And is 5" what I need to cut? -Brian

Mount Hamilton was the trip! I remember, we met up there that day... you had a toyota tho :\ You wont see me at another Nasioc meet. But maybe we should show up in the GL10 and RX one year just to represent. Maybe i'll run with the 15's, but i do have a set of 14" alloys that are screamin for some new tires. somehow, i dont think 27" M/T's will fit on the RX (yet). I open on Sunday's at work, but I can always talk to the boss and swing a deal. Russ. Will my Intercooler & MBC screw with different class's as well? -Brian

Alittle more photoshop action. This is probably what the scoop would look like after mounted the way I want. Im liking it. -Brian

Last time I went on a caravan with the I-Club/Nasioc crew to a meet, i almost died... not once but 3 times. The WRX kiddies have NO IDEA how to drive in a pack. It was horrible, whoever was leading the pack was driving 45 on the freeway, and everybody wanted to follow a WRX, so nobody could get onto the freeway since all the WRX's wouldnt make room for them. This was with 300+ WRX's as well. Me in my Turbo Legacy and a couple friends in theirs. Anyhow... i dont car what place Im in. If this will be on gravel/dirt, the tires I have now will have no chance at all. -Brian

Ok, hopefully i get outbid on this WRX scoop on ebay. If not, i will have two idea's to go with. If I go the shaker way, i will need to find a way to mount the scoop to the spare tire mount, elevated enough to stick up through the hood. Skip, i got your PM. Reply and I'll set things straight. Ive been hanging onto this hood since you sent it to me... what, 5... 6 years ago?? I even sent it to Chef Tim at one point for a project of his, but he never used it. I emailed him a year or so ago and got it back I think i will go with this scoop. I'll paint it white and then lay it on the hood to see what it looks like. -Brian

This is what I have so far: There are alot more pictures here: http://gallery.usmb.net/scoop It looks kinda gay, but I like it. I plan on mounting the scoop inside the engine bay, and have a hole in the hood for the scoop to fit through. Have it mounted shaker style, so it will sit alittle lower in the hood (and at a different angle) than pictured. In my mind I think it'd look sweet. But everybody i ask, sais otherwise. And not like am building my car to please my friends... but I dont want to drive something that looks like rump roast... and i value my friends opinions. So I ask... should I go orignal... or just do what everyone else is doing and buy a knock-off WRX scoop? I cant seem to find any other scoop I like. Here's another idea I had: I was thinking of cutting a slit in the hump on my hood, and flaten everything in front and create a scoop using the hump in the hood. -Brian

I paid $310 to have (4) 205/75R14's mounted to my subaru. So i cant say you got a great deal, but you sure beat me. Where did you find yours? Mine need replacing as soon as I can find another rig to lift. -Brian

Goto the junkyard and get a new ECU. Small enough to fit in a pocket. Problem solved. -Brian

Jay, if your going to be in San Fran, i can come deliver it to you. I live 2 hours north in Sac. A co-worker has a shop, hes a driver for a local race team. Me and him were brain storming some ideas for a scoop. For now, i have installed 4 washers in the hood hinge, hope that lets the IC breathe alittle. -Brian

Im interested. can you fill me in on any red tape I'll need to fish through? I'll have to find time off work, but i know the RX is more than ready. Maybe i'll find some old snow tires to throw on the 14" alloys and have a spare set of rally tires around -Brian

Thanks guys A guy at work has a small powder coating operation and said he can do these pipes for me. I think i'll have them coated in blue. -Brian

Check with Peaco Industries. -Brian

Yeah, im not too concerned about blowing a pipe off right now. It seems to be doing better than the prev setup, but the pipes are getting hot and i can tell the IC is heatsoaked I'm going to have to cut a hole in my hood ASAP. I went to my work and had the BPV bung welded to the intake so its not leaking anymore. Looks 100x better than the duct tape I was using. -Brian

Hey Jay... i happen to have one extra elbow that is 2 3/8" in diameter. I used this for my intake plentum and it worked perfectly. It may help with your install if you would like it. Here's what my finished product looks like: here it is installed: PM me if you'd like it, i dont think I'll use this extra piece. -Brian

What size tires are you running? Im thinking about doing this to my RX but I dont want my tires to rub. -Brian

Ok... here it is. Intercool install version 2.0: I paid $40 for two Mandrel U Bends of 2 3/8" O.D. Stainless Steel. Then Cut them in half to make four 90 degree elbows. I paid $39 for three 2 3/8 I.D. Silicone couplers, and used some spare pipe i had for the BPV bung. All in all, everything went smoothly and without any problems. I cut the air baffler or whatever it is... hanging off my intake. I shortened it to make more room for my BPV and it helped alittle with the routing of my hoses. Im going to take the pieces into my work, and have our head mechanic lay a bead of weld around the ends of the pipe, to help keep them from blowing apart. I'll also have him weld my intake so the BPV Bung doesnt leak. This outa do better than the cheap rubber elbows and PVC i was using before. -Brian

Got my mandrel bent 2.37" Stainless Steel yesterday, and today I got my Silicone couplers for the final Intercooler Install http://www.turbohoses.com was fast! I ordered the couplers yesterday... recieved them this morning. I'll have pix soon.... -Brian

People here point and laugh at me in my lifted wagon. -Brian

Moderators would move the posts to their apropriate forum. Isnt that what your here for Caleb How about: Classic Subarus Older Gen. Subarus New Gen Subarus Off-topic Pictures -Brian
