rllywgn Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 hers what i got so far.. i need to do a little welding or recruit someone near buy to assist:D but its coming along with zero out of pocket. i cut out all but the frame of the grill and inserted some cool Aluminum mesh.. and notice the notched bumper for additional cooling(welding needed) I believe thats about 6" off the front.. turn signal guards may be useless but the fit the theme.. who knows.. may stop a rock.. i have a slightly bent up lower valance, thats coming off tomorrow to get a lil straightning.. If someone has a rx front air dam they want to let go of shoot me a pm. more to come.. rllywgn 88 GL-10 turbo sedan ft4wd~5spd~lsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedBalls Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Looks ***************en, I am planning on doing something similar with my RX. I don't like the way the bumpers stick way out like they do. I can help you with the welding. Maybe weld in a piece of angle iron where you cut the sheetmetal to stiffen it up a bit and keep the cooling effect? I'm in Cornelius, OR, near Hillsboro.

Island Roo Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 looks good, maybe move the signals behind the grill and chop the rest of the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllywgn Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 what id like to do is box in the cut out section and weld in a smoothy plate along the protruding tab on top and bottom of the bumper. i think it should give the front end a nice clean look with flush turn signals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank B Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 That's what I was planning on doing to my 89 this summer! Cool man. I plan on doing away with the blinkers in the bumper, and trying to re-wire the side marker light(next to the headlights) to be the blinkers with an amber bulb. I agree that the bumpers make the car look goofy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllywgn Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 UPDATE! so today i yanked the passenger side fender and removed the intake silencer box thing. I then proceeded to hack the bottom of the airbox out. sounds throaty almost ricey but more throaty so i think its ok. so now where to in the no buck build up? i guess i could spend maybe ten bucks.. any one have any suggestions on where to go next?

Caboobaroo Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 climb under rear of car and unbolt the muffler. Give you a nice piped out sound to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllywgn Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 when i get to the money end of the project it will have 2.5" from the turbo back and a shiny muffler for those occasions that it gets washed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rllywgn Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 so i made some more progress on the front end finally.. having a welder really helps. oh and i may have spent a few bucks on some really bright lights.. somethings you just cant get for free this is what i started with.. then i started boxing it all in.. i still need ro make sides for the bumper.. just trying to figure out a good way to do it.. so yeah mo betta.. starting to look more and more like the rally machine i want it to be.. im dreaming of a wrx front clip... mmm... rllywgn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 I plan on doing away with the blinkers in the bumper, and trying to re-wire the side marker light(next to the headlights) to be the blinkers with an amber bulb. Do believe that Subaru Master Guru, Skip,, has one of his rides re-wired so that the side markers are the turn signals now. May want to do a search for that.

Uberoo Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 the lights look good but it looks like you need to aim them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
