Great looking project, been following this on DW too.

Why did you position the hand brake angled towards the driver? Won't that be a bit awkward to use?

fabianGTR34 · 9th December 2006, 10:25 AM

Seems your addicted to metal working and welding :P

This just came up for sale in Korea - I think yours is going to turn out better though! The wheels are totally ridiculous in the first pic:

Because believe it or not it makes much more sense! Think about it, swing your arm out to grab the handbrake, pull it and notice how you're arm is pulling it...its awkward. I've turned the handbrake so that it acts in line with my arm which makes it much more comfortable. Its something I picked up from a project that was done at Prodrive on the GroupN Impreza's. Its so logical I don't know why it isn't done more often.

I reckon that Blue R234 kismetcapitan posted would look alright if they just had some pods or had an aftermarket rear on the car.. doesnt flop with the rest of the car.

Doesnt look like the Bee*R 324 kit that.

[j]Desing · 19th December 2006, 06:34 AM

Aphid · 19th December 2006, 02:51 PM

sideways.taff · 19th December 2006, 08:15 PM

Sorry lads, been busy fabricating the mounts for the intercooler and cutting the tension rod braces up to make room for the tilted rad. At least everything is mounted in now!

Looking fantastic Bryn - going to be a great spring for you at this rate

Joeingo · 21st December 2006, 01:09 AM

is the intercooler going to stay in that up position? because it looks like it might not get any air flow to it that way.

neil c · 21st December 2006, 01:15 AM

course it will, the air will pass through the front bumper and then through the intercooler and then the warmed air will then pass out of the vents in the bonnet.

fabianGTR34 · 21st December 2006, 06:19 AM

it seems like the angle angle of the IC restricts the IC airflow, but I think the that the bad effects will be minimal. Cause the air flows more easily in the " mouth" of the system than throught the radiator and IC. so the air is forced trough both the radiator and the IC. and cooling will remain. Also the flat mounted IC's heat will want to flow upwarts due to the heat that wants to rise. From a thermical point of view V-mount is about optimal. I had a v-mount setup, and I never had a hot IC also didn't with slow speeds.
