Marvick08GT's Ridiculous Build!


Recommended Posts

Don't come in here with all that common sense.. :lol:

 

Agreed, trying to save money where I can!... :spin:

 

Voices in the wilderness. Sometimes they aren't trying to lure you...

 

Take out the scoop, cover the hole with racer tape (gorilla, duct, duck, packing, aluminum, scotch, paper, etc), and wait. After a couple hours looking at the mess, you'll be at the junkyard buying a hood and dropping it off at maaco for a respray. Or if you get a close color match, leave it on for weeks. ahem.

 

amazon says $40 for a large sheet in your hood color - VViViD Meteorite Dark Grey True R Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap Roll with Air Release Technology (6ft x 5ft) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L9JBJTW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_6BGHBF6FQ7TSKTYQ913S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I still have the scoop, everything i tried (tape,, cardboard etc) blew out, so I made a plug from the front bumper foam.... almost the same color as the car lmao and fits flush so it's not that noticeable.

 

Chase bays bracket for my coolant reservior was backordered a few days so they sent me a coupon. Ended up getting the P/S reservior and line kit as well and they will ship together for the same price.

Got the Killer B pipe finally along with the ChaseBays coolant reservior. Hoping the inlet pipe adds some character to the sound, this turbo should be sucking!

 

Agile had me drop the car off! Shouldn't be too much longer now!

There is more space with the plastic manifold than the STI metal manifold, shouldn't be an issue. Most kits differentiate for ease of install (plug and play) and most of my connections are not factory lol. Definitely excited as the pipe has some serious flow capability, would definitely benefit the Blouch as well.

 

Will update when they update me!

This is how you go over the top building a Subaru vehicle! WE recommend that no one out there ever builds a Subaru this extreme. The investment is in the $100,000's with the special parts and custom everything. However, we are currently working on our new engine that we are very hopeful will produce 1200whp. We have built this vehicle to be used for track days or at the drag strip with mild changes. The problem when drag racing is the transmission is too difficult to shift between 2nd and 3rd and we waste a lot of time. We have reduced the tune to 754whp and 644ft.lbs when doing track days. Our 0-60 times are 2.1 seconds and then we have to shift to 3rd. So, we are looking at using a Lenco 4 speed in conjunction with a custom light weight torque converter as the solution. If they ever have the Legacy meet in San Jose in the future this vehicle will be their on display. This vehicle is a race only vehicle and not to be driven on the streets!

The prodrive GC-010E setup and STI front strut bar arrived from InfoSecDad! Thanks again!

Still waiting on the rev D mesh grille and grampus folding mirrors!

 

Can't wait for her to be ready..

 

Did the packaging hold up for the wheels?

Those can be a challenge to ship.

Sure did, now I'm on the hunt for 1 center cap. Found 1 in Russia, but still looking! Also found a place that sells the carbon fiber overlay that says prodrive, so once I find a good one I will probably powdercoat and then throw new emblems on.

 

Can't wait to put these on, should be night and day with my factory 18"s and Michelins...

Yeah, those center caps are almost impossible to find any more. I've seen only one on Yahoo Japan (through Buyee.jp) before, and finding one in good condition is even harder. I'm trying to do the same for my P1s now since they were plastic and 3/4 are shot. There is a guy in the UK on eBay that has a number of overlay stickers that seem to be decent.

? I don't have a carbon fiber driveshaft. I have a brand new subaru driveshaft per my builders recommendations. I have had CF and Aluminum before on different vehicles, you can tell the difference but there is almost always vibration at high speed

Nice! I want to see how they got the Killer B inlet installed!

 

There were a few posts on IG recently with the inlet used with our plastic manifolds. The front mounting position was retained which is nice but some slight modification was needed where the EBCS bracket sits. Hoping you can share some detailed photos.

Got a call today, they asked me why I only got a timing belt and not water pump and pulleys etc. I literally replaced the avcs components etc for no reason. I asked them why they forgot it on the build? ROFL

 

 

Don't use old f'ng parts! TF....
