ive always fancied one of these but was worried about deflecting air away from the bonnet scoop?? any one had any experience.

Looks really smart mate, where did you get the deflector?

 

Need a bigger scoop then :biggrin:

 

I never thought of the TMIC not getting enough air ..oh well bigger scoop then lol.
And got it from here.

Car's looking good and that bonnet protector, even that seems to add to the look in a weird sort of way.

Surprised if it makes any difference to your air flow to the IC, as it looks like the IC still sits quite a bit above the protector

 

Cheers bud and I haven't noticed any probs with it yet ,was just Gouldy mentioned it.

The deflector does scoop up a wee bit at the top ,maybe resulting in the air flow swooping over the top of the IC scoop but I'm not to bothered unless I get high temps then I'll have to invest in a taller scoop , however the deflector doesn't sit flush on top of the bonnet , there's about a 6mm gap so the air flow I assume would flow under and more directly to the IC scoop.

 

I like the look.

Wouldn't have normally been something I would have expected to float my boat, but it looks cool.

 

I would love one of these. I've always liked the look of them on the JDM 4x4's

 

Cheers lads , I've wanted one for a while and when I noticed Coopster had one on his beast I asked him for a link and the rest is history .

Just waiting on the paint for the side skirts and guess I'll be kinda bored as don't wana do much more to her , but as I'm an honorable member of the £60 club , I'll have no choice.:biggrin:

Iam looking for a rear number plate holder with light for the 11" x 8" plate as was going to move it to the tail gate ,only because I have a hooky (tow bar) and the plate wont fit .

So If anyone has any ideas apart from a gaylander one then please let me know

 

I have just bought one of these wind deflectors for my 05 XT . Managed to find one in the UK delivered for £60

Will see what happens with intake temps and post them up

 

Nice one and I've noticed no altered temps with mine.

 

had one on a disco we had at work, took it off as a stone broke it, and the car had 2 windscreens in a few months due to stone hits, they do work. ive seen some on yank sites with a sort of cut out where the scoop sits.
been after one for a while, but being a na I would like taller lol
looking good my man.
had

 

A wee bit of mods to her rear

Cheers bud .

Have done a wee bit of alteration to the rear as hated the chrome emblems so removed them ,sprayed the SUBARU logo ,fitted an 'F' badge in vinyl ,replaced the logo on top , shifted the number plate and fog light ( will get another in maybe a Maltese cross or something more suited ) and had a pressed metal plate with FORESTER printed on it from an old mate in Norwich to cover the old plate holes etc. Have also fitted LED number plate lights on the SS JDM plate relocator .

Oh and couldn't resist the WRX badge as she has the running gear and interior :icon_biggrin:

 

I like it, the forester plate is a nice touch as well

 

Cheers ratboy1 .

So eventually my paint arrived from Paints4u (great company but extra postage fees to the Highlands) after ordering from 2 other companies ;the paint was destroyed as they posted via RoyalMail and it's counted as a prohibited item apparently .
This morning before work I gave the skirts and spats a prime and lunch time started the long arduous job of spraying and sanding with silicon carbide paper (wet n dry) . Left until home at 2 o'clock :biggrin: then done a few more coats and finally a few coats of lacquer, left to dry for an hour or so in the baking heat then fitted them and this is how she looks now.

Oh why does my dog Tank always get in the shot without me realising :shake:

Just got to find something for the rear now.
Oh yeah I took a leaf out of Coopster's book and redone the moon roof wind deflector and added some vinyl's...Ferocious in Japanese and made in Japan perfected in my garage ( should have said perfected in my spare time).

 

love the contrast

 

Cheers dude , takes me back to the 80's :icon_cool:

 

ahh I got my licences [car and bike] in the 80's

eee when I where a lad lol

 

Aha I got mine in 89 when I were just 17 , oh to be 17 again but would have to have the knowledge I have now .

 

I would tell myself to get a few old ford parts in my moms loft lol
could be rich buy now

 

I had nearly all Star Wars figures and loads of vehicles and ships but my mum gave them all away :icon_evil: gutted...Still got my AT-AT walker though :icon_cool:

 

I sold my Star Wars figures about 8 years ago now , got 180 quid for em. They are worth a fair bit of coin if they have the original weapons etc.

If I could go back in time I would have held onto my R32 GTR . Never really got over that lol

 

All of mine went to cousins who strangely don't know where it went.... A millennium falcon, an x wing, 2 tie fighters, lots and lots of figures, speeder bikes, snow speeder, at at stalker, (always wanted and never got the at at walker). I still mourn their loss. Remember the little light saber training module hanging on a thread in the back of the falcon...?

I'm going to cry in a bit as do love to reminisce of the good old days , did't have a tie fighter per say but Darths tie fighter with the half hexagon wings.
You can still get the Vintage imperial AT-AT walker now for around a 100 notes , I'm missing the head canopy from mine and have seen them on fleabay for £16-£20 but can't justify that atm.

Most of mine were figures and the two legged at at
Thing, had a Yak Face figure which was worth about 80 notes on its own !!

I had Yak face too and also the rebel pilot Nien Nunb who you could only get from the US with some sort of tokens etc AFAIR.
Also had the AT-ST scout walker too (the two legged walker in Ewok village)
In fact I think I was spoilt with the amount of Star Wars toys I had :icon_redface:

ahhh the good old days before joysticks and screens where your imagination was the game.

 

Like sex then?

 

Really like this 8) out of interest how did you stick the Subaru letters back on? I only got my sf5 Friday and I hate chrome too I was considering spraying them black or carbon wrapping them and just so happens you've done it lol.

 

Bought some 3M double sided trip tape...3m *10mm Foam Tape Car Auto Truck Acrylic Attachment Double Side Adhesive 300cm | eBay cheap as chips.

not a fan of carbon wrap but must admit it looks cool on letters l

Me neither but true dat, I think it would be hard as freak to wrap the letters though C6RWN.

Nice

Black Mirrors and Black Scoop needed

Cheers and lol just done the mirrors , well actually changed them for the WRX ones and was thinking of a black scoop .....May buy a taller one in black though. Most likely I'd get the wrong one and have to fabricate .

and as for sex forestergump. you never get to old to enjoy being imaginative lolololol

 

not a fan of carbon wrap but must admit it looks cool on letters

Lets see if I can even do it first haha. probably will be a right ball ache to do it >.< Got a feeling it wont go well but I've got a load of 3M carbon wrap in the shed that is a shame to just leave sitting there lol. I'm not gonna be going overboard with the carbon wrap. I haven't got any intensions at the moment for wrapping anything else lol.
