Dead Mr. Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hey all update time!! installed my new harness in the car to start swapping over the pigtails for headlights, corners etc... http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton89.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton90.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton91.jpg Next will be installing the airbags (all wrx now so were adding in side airbags) and testing everything before installing the interior. From there I needed a brake so I jumped back over to the exhaust and finished the down-pipe and dump pipe.. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton92.jpg Then made a custom mount to hold the hight flow fuel filter. I modified the stock fuel rails so the lines could be ran more hidden. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton93.jpg Then I installed and BOV to get ready to do all the vacuum lines. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton94.jpg Got some parts comming in but I still have plenty to do so more updates soon to follow.

Dead Mr. Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hey all sorry for the delay I just haven't had time to upload and post the new pics. So still going on with the wiring I preped the headlights for the HID kits and new LED bulbs. There are 6000k in the headlights and 3000k in the fogs. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton95.jpg Then I made up a nice plate to hold all the ballasts so they were secure and clean. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton96.jpg Installed and wired driver's side.. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton97.jpg Passengers side.. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton98.jpg Then I just got sick of wiring so I decided to switch it up and start fabing the brackets to hold the rez tanks. Oil Catch Can: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton99.jpg P/S and coolant tank: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton100.jpg Radiator Overflow is mounted just under the Master cylinder. All the pieces just before grinding and paint.. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton101.jpg and finally I modified the the oil breather and coolant hardline to run better with all the relocated bits. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton102.jpg I finished the night off painting all the rez tanks and brakets black. Ill be starting final assy of the motor and finishing up the wiring for the next update.

Dead Mr. Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Lol. Sorry guys. I have been super busy trying to get this, the Foz and done and work onthe Corolla at the same time. I just haven't had time to get on the comp and post up pics. Got a good update for you today. Most of thats left is cleanup and finish work. Which as most of us know takes the longest and never looks like you've made enough progress.. Got the Down-pipe and Dump tube finished up. We ordered a turbo heat blanket and wrap for it so it cant quite go back in yet. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton103.jpg Next Up was cleaning up the interior. Installed some WRX seatbelts with the belt stopper charge thingy and the side airback sensors. Not very common in the GC8s.. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton104.jpg Plumbing and wiring in the engine bay finished up. Its a tucked bay but since this car has everything in it the hoses got to go somewhere. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton105.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton106.jpg Finished wireing. All of the engine connections are right here. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton107.jpg Filled the tranny with fluid and it started to leak out of the CVs so had to order those. Waiting for a few parts to come in, ABS cylinder was bad so had to get another one, Clock spring was no good so ordered another as well. We are at the final stages alright. Everything takes forever, parts are missing or broke and the cars starts fighting you every step of the way... Never fails. So more updates soon.

Dead Mr. Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hey all good update time. So back to flipping wiring and the first things was to finish up installing the ProDCCD. This is a universal unit to run the tranny DCCD independant from the stock harness. After a bit of work I figure out how to pull the wires from the pigtails so I pulled some from his stock GC cluster harness and pined them into the new WRX one. We I ended up with was a total integration of his DCCD using the OE switch and thumb wheel as well as full ingegration with the cluster. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton108.jpg Auto: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton109.jpg Manual: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton110.jpg Next up was something I have been wanting to try for a very long time. I never had the time or the extra throttle cable to do it but I can say now that I can shorten Throttle cables for reversed manifolds and replicate it for fiture projects. I think ots one of those little things that really goes a long way when doing a car like this or any other car that dosen't want to coil their long ass throttle cable in their engine bay. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton111.jpg Installed.. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton112.jpg One of the last things left was to wrap and installed the Downpipe so the car could come off the jackstands for the last time. Got 50" of black wrap and a T3 sized turbo blanket from Prosport and they look great. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton113.jpg So thats it... All the Fabrication work is done, all the Wiring and crap is finished. She heads off to paint now and then to have the interior installed to cover up all my hard work.. lol Pushed her outside one last time before the tow truck comes to take her away. Looks pretty sweet. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton114.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton115.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton116.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x223/badwagon/Brighton/Brighton117.jpg Once its painted it will go to the owners shop to have the last parts installed and then its off to Dom for a tune but I will be there for that so pics of this project finished will be coming. Now its time to put a dent in the "ForeSTAR" project so I can finsh that off and get started on the "Subreal Atom" project... More updates in a week or so.

Dead Mr. Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah sorry things have been super busy. Car left to paint and I didn't see it again till it was as the car show so I grabed a couple pics Armin took of it. Its currently at Doms getting a new ECU installed and tuned so it will still be a couple weeks before I know final numbers and have it back to do a good photo shoot. Hope these will hold you over untill then... http://www.nwmotiv.com/wp-content/gallery/big-nw-subaru-meet-2012/bignwsubarumeet2012-61.jpg http://www.nwmotiv.com/wp-content/gallery/big-nw-subaru-meet-2012/bignwsubarumeet2012-60.jpg Build Thread to my 3.0R Build Thread to my Super Crazy MR2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
