WRX USA

I have a few questions about that testing.

 

The ambient temps were between 20-22 degrees and the GS TMIC is essentially a giant piece of aluminum.

 

How much of this efficiency in the test can be attributed to that giant cold piece of aluminum?

 

What happens after two minutes of testing? Or even, thirty minutes of more "typical" driving?

 

And I came across this pic of the Snail Performance Time Attack WRX. Another example of a heat extractor hood, but in different locations than mine. It looks like his oil cooler is mounted in front of the upper right radiator, and either power steering or trans coolers in the upper left, which meant modding the grill a lot:

Actually it is a radiator/oil cooler combo from LIC: http://www.licmotorsports.com/products/lic-motorsports-v2-radiatoroil-cooler-combo-02-07-wrxsti_lic-032482

Also grille should fit fine since power steering cooler on upper left is an OEM piece but they probably removed it to increase air flow.

 

Also in regards to wings on wagons, I am sure you have seen this:

Presume the card will be charged when the product ships correct?

 

My understanding is that you are making payment now to secure your spot in line (in regards to shipping priority). You can pay as late as January 16th, if you want.

Ummmm , wat . This was just announced.

I just got an email confirmation from PW that they do plan on doing an Outback version "but it will be some months away".

This isn't mine wish it was. I stole the pictures off tigwerks facebook for reference. I can not wait.

 

I got so excited by the pics that my reading comprehension crapped out on me and I missed that comment...

Kelly (TigWerks) does insane quality work and yours is one of the nicest I've seen!

My OBXT with a Pioneer AVIC-8000NEX:

I see current bid at 52000Yen (~$500 based on current exchange rates). Shipping for me to California via UPS was 31097Yen on a new BTS-5056J (~$300 based on current exchange rates).

For anyone looking, here is a slightly used complete BTS kit on Yahoo Japan Auctions with a "buy it now" of $970, based on current exchange rates, not included fees and shipping. I have seen these on there for a couple weeks and it looks like the seller is trying to get rid of them because it is now the highest bid that wins, with no reserve. I am sure they will go up from the 20 cents they are at now but probably top out less than $800.

^ So I know the answer now. The correct part is 20326AG000, as 20320AG000 is not a dust cap but another top hat. Would be nice if the OP were updated with the correct information...

Schneider can you confirm or deny this:

Edit to the BTS-5056J parts install list:

 

2ea. USDM SpecB top hats, 20320AG01A. local.

2ea. USDM SpecB dust cap 20326AG000. local. (NOT 20320AG000)

2ea. JDM rear shock perch 20370AG010. http://www.japanparts.com

Okay, I have a 2009 OBXT should I have the first or second of the bold parts above?
