Here are some pics of my new baby, finally. I had Prity’s digicam handy, so I snapped a couple before work. Digitalpose.com gives crappy resolution, but you get the idea.





Notice the proper “bade of courage” bent front plate? Every Subaru needs one. you can usually tell who has fun in their subies and who doesn’t by the front plate :D. I got that when I nose-planted her in a snowbank at the Tim O’Neil winter driving school. a little much oversteer.

The bottom 2 gauges are A/F and tranny temp. I’m thinking of putting the A/F gauge into an a-pillar pod, but I just don’t know if I can bring myself to that :p . the tranny temp is fine there since I don’t need to stare at it all the time. the column mount is, of course, boost.

The IggXhaust is lovingly held in place by 3 strategic coat hangers. The hangars wind around it to keep it from bouncing up. the way I have it set up, the exhaust is no longer the low point of the under-body. now the rear diff box can take the hits instead of the exhaust. I also have all the clamps rotated upwards so the bolts don’t hang down. if one of those hit the ground, it’d tear the exhaust apart. It’s much better put together than it looks initially. when I was under there I really tried to make sure it would hold together alright under abuse. none of the flexi-pipe is visible from a normal viewing angle. just looks like a big pipe.

the bottom pic is, of course, the “money shot.” can’t show off teh car without showing off her private places. it’s stock under there except for the chimney removal and the IggBleed boost controller. oh, and I wrote “boost fluid” on the washer fluid tank. just for kicks.

There she is. w3rd.

    Ghetto-Fab!

    Hehehe… LOVE the ghetto-fabulous coat-hangers :p I had to do that to my previous car several years ago. You wouldn’t think so, but it works surprisingly well.

      Do a search n00b! those are there cause that’s the only space I could put them without pods unless I wanted them all messy like. and I don’t need to keep a constant eye on them.

      slushbox, huh? how’s that open deck of yours? kinda weak isn’t it? :devil: .
