July 25, 200421 yr And once again, I'll show you what transpired: Slightly different rear ride height...its just right now. Yesterday, it was just about riding on that 1/3 peice of that WRX bumpstop....now, look at the travel it has. Moved the collar up to the second resting point....and preloaded the spring before installation 1 15/16" from the bottom of the collar. Another shot from the rear. And for those who wanted to see under the hood. MAF adapter, and 3" ID cone filter with the inverted cone on the top (not seen at this angle), the 24.99 Autozone special. WRX TMIC with snazzy PCV 90* elbow and snazzy NAPA stick hose, along with a stock 1987 EA82 turbo inlet hose going from the IC to the TB...a quite perfect fit amazingly. SUBARU sure was thinking ahead back then.
July 25, 200421 yr Author WOnt find those under the hood of any stock Leone chassis....XT ALT, PS and pump bracket, AC, and crank+WP pullys and the tesioner (not pictured). Also a nice thick radiator infront of all that, a mechanical fan in perfect operating condition under there and a manually controlled electrical fan to the left (barely in pic). MRT Rally Camber/Cast plates. They do wonders for the handling. They were originally designed for Impreza/Legacy appications. No modifications required to install these right on the stock strut, and i only needed to remove 2 MM of material from the outside of each bolt hole for them to fit perfectly. I did have to remove the Spare tire mount from the engine bay for the WRX TMIC to fit just right under the hood....although it does sit a little low...but when i get the Spyder intake installed, it will be perfect. Just need some duct work on the scoop to make 100% of the scooped ait flow thru the IC. The underside of the hood of the scoop. The Corbeau seat....im WAY too tall for this seat withthe home made adapter i made for it. 1 inch between the top of my head and the sunroof. BTW: the seat is up for sale. The hanlding of the Carrera dampers since it has more travel now is just plain WONDERFUL. Proper dampening is DA BOMB. no more bouncing and loosing traction! Just gotta do something about the front now....
July 25, 200421 yr super nice! the first pics kinda looked like an air suspension that was dragging rump roast really bad. This loos so much better now.... I'll be keeping an eye out for you later in the week....gonna be in Concord on thurs. till early sunday morn. look out for the guy in the black Passat tdi Matt
July 25, 200421 yr Author My usual route is Hwy 49 south thru Harrisburg to 485...on to 24/27 to harris to idlewild to the independence intersection where the dealer is. Sometimes I might go down Mount pleasant highway to 601 to 24/27...thats 5 miles shorter and less traffic when Im late...so i can really fly down some ruff and tumble twistys at 100+mph....thats when the middle of the scoop starts floppin a little.
