yeah, i definitely see a radiator shroud..

I have to agree with Robby here.

you guys are good.



answer...


i had an issue because we flared the fenders so the stock fender liners didnt fit anymore and with all the ice racing we are doing i need to keep everything clean(wiring, engine bay, etc).

Those look suhweet!!!

Good idea turning your radiator shroud into a fender liner.

can you take a picture of the layouts that you used to cut those out... i need to make some, or can you give me some tips about how to make some fender liners like the ones you did.

Your fenders are completely different than a GC, his layouts wouldn't help much.

i know.. i just want to see how he did it, because when i try to make a layout it tends to look really screwed up.. i just want something that i can base the making of mine on..

How about starting with the factory plastic ones? They fit in there pretty well. :P

thats the problem.. :~: the factory ones are somewhere along I-80 they blew out for some reason.. thats why i want to make some new and improved ones.. :cool:

Your whole fenderliners blew out? what did that feel like to have those things smacking around under your car?

^One of mine blew out on the way to elko last year. It happened really quick and sounded like I hit a big piece of plastic. :rolleyes:

I lost one near Sacramento on I5. Thought I had a tire blow out from the sound so I stopped to check it out. It took me like 5 minutes to figure out what had caused the noise after I found all 4 tires intact. :lol:

i thoughti ran over someones tire that blew out

After driving on the new BC Racing coilvers for a few days i realized i absolutely needed an alignment and corner balance. We have great local guy, Jeff The Aligment Guy www.thealignmentguy.com ...who did an awesome job. The handling is night and day difference. The typical subaru understeer is basically gone and a bit of oversteer is definitely there which is what i want.

I'm glad that i also got the car corner balanced while i was there because the corner weights were way out of whack prior to bringing it in.

We had a few issues with front caster and rear toe because in the front the ALK i have needs to be tweaked a bit and in the rear one of the lateral links is different so it wouldnt give him the toe that he wanted. So i need to fix those two things then bring her back in to get buttoned up.

I have an advanced driving control clinic next saturday and it couldnt come sooner..totally stoked to get this new setup on the track.

as far as the fenderliner template, first i used a cardboard piece and then started trimming that away until i got the correct shape. then copied the shape onto the thin aluminum and bolted her in. really didnt take that long actually.

I didn't realize Cory had his own brand of coilovers. :P

He doesn't. He has a line of BC Tuning springs.

finally got some more updates on this project...been so busy shipping all your parts out, havent had time to post pics up.


waited 4 weeks to get this from titan motorsports but it finally came. sparco 345 suede racing wheel.

ditched the wrx seats for these corbeau cr-1's. i had bought some sparco seats locally but they didnt fit me well at all so used these instead. they are alot narrower than the sparco so they fit nicely. they are SUPER low which is my only complaint...i even got the wrx style brackets from corbeau which are suppose to higher.

piece by piece i'm starting to get that fugly tan interior out. hit up the local junkyard and found the rear door cards and door sills in black/grey.

this is where it sits right now. complete vinyl wrap. car is going to be all white base layer with dark red metallic logos. i'm really pumped to get this project done because its going to totally transform the looks of the L.

working with our tuner right now. we got it alot better than it was...just having wastegate issues right now so i can fully tune it right now. the power to weight ratio is definitely amazing compared to the wrx.

Sparco wheel FTW. I got that bitch, and it's fantastic!
