The wrx bonnot scoop looks ghey, although, sti motor, looks like a version V(my99)
No reversed intake manifold :P. If your going to loose your a/c, atleast loose it for an advantage
I don't see the filter getting much cold air from that location either
he also lost his cruise control

Awesome.
Almost as nice as Speshals. :D
Looks like it has a very late model WRX motor in it.

The car is from NZ from this site...
http://www.visualconcepts.co.nz/Chosen%20Few/feature.html

Its a little over done... I mean who goes to that extent with a car.. to NOT fit a front bumper ? its in his To do list..

Its motor is definitely the goods though it has everything done to it.. so should be a bit of a shit storm :)

Evade.. do you have any other front on pics of your car you could either email me or post.. I wouldn't mind seeing how some other people have done their front bars ??

gees who needs CAI when you've got an intercooler that big.
thats as big as my dinning room table

"STi VERSION 5 (DOG BOX) imported from Australia. "

Hrmm since when have STi's have dog box's?

Karupt - evade cut his bumper similar to how mine was, there aint really many options eh!

Looks very well done that car, not a fan of the chameleon colours though..

And I think my intercooler might be a little bigger 8) hehhe

Good to see other people doing some things to em, there a decent amount that get done up over in NZ I think.

Karupt
5th February 2003, 12:25 AM
Sadly there isn't too many options.. mine looks stealthy as at the moment.. but fk stealth.. if I wanted stealth I would have painted it black :)

The guys pipe work is a mess bigtime..

The intercooler is a stocko r33 gtr cooler... they're 600x300 speshal.. so the same size as yours or bigger ? but not as thick..

any bigger than 600x300x75mm you're asking for problems..

[SPESHAL]
5th February 2003, 12:31 AM
Yer?
Just doesnt look like it comes up as high or goes out towards the lights as far :)

Yer stealth just AINT the way :lol:

Karupt
5th February 2003, 12:41 AM
Sadly liberty's have a big overhang from the point of where the cooler sits... so it doesn't look right where some dudes can just cut away their bumper and have the cooler sitting level..

I loved driving without a bumper... but the cops gave me a little too much attention :)

george|rst|
5th February 2003, 12:56 AM
So can u fit a cooler 600x300x75 behind the bar, and not cut away the front of the bar??

Karupt
5th February 2003, 01:06 AM
Yep !

http://www.karupt.com/fside.jpg

Isn't that good'a pic but it shows how stealthy it is.. and yet still gets terrific air flow.. !

Karupt
5th February 2003, 01:14 AM
And here's another better shot from front on...

Yes the bar does need re spraying... I didn't want to re spray it until I knew how much I was going to hack away from it..

owww yeah!!.. thats just the way i like it... so u removed the the front water intercooler and the aircon cooler is sitting behind the front mount yeah??

Karupt
5th February 2003, 01:33 AM
George,

The air con condenser sits behind there with no problems... all is good..

Only downside is.. the passenger side foglight had to be removed.. so I have some smaller foglights that I am going to throw in there.. similar sized globe and all.. just the backing of the liberty' ones is HUGE !

george|rst|
5th February 2003, 01:50 AM
Is that cause u used the piping off a MY01 rex.. or just casue the cooler so wide?

[SPESHAL]
5th February 2003, 01:51 AM
Looks very stealthy Karupt.

Why not run with no foglights? It'd be a bit of a task to get lights that fit good.

George - if you ran with the piping at the top of the cooler, you might be able to keep the foglights. I ran with it at the bottom, but the shiney piping looks tougher than the fogliths, depends what look your going for I spose :)

Karupt
5th February 2003, 01:52 AM
The piping was off a 00 :)

and no.. its just because the outlet.. is at the bottom to make it into the inner quarter... so the pipe has to have a 45 degree bend on it..

even SPESHAL's piping doesn't allow him to have foggies..

I wanna front mount, cant afford one and wont get one for years, but shit they fucking look beef!

Anyone got any pics of a front mount set up with the intake manafold rotated as this sound's like a good option, my a/c doesn't work anyway.

regacy
6th February 2003, 01:19 AM
karupt

it looks the shiz stealthly :) . Have you thought about the series one front bar? It looks to have a bigger opening and plus you should be able to mount the series two foggies in the bigger OEM holes..

rigoli likes to rotate his manifolds, try looking up his rexies

Is it just me, or does anyone else reckon that NZ RS with the chameleon paintjob & STi wanker-paint on the cooler looks absolutely awful?
The wheels look like they came out of a 20 cent lucky dip, the front is hideous & the paint job is questionable at best.
The engine bay looks good & i'm sure the car goes hard, but how much money did he waste on turning a good looking RS into a jokemobile?????
Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth (2.6 cents in NZ) :wink:

I have to admint it's not exactly my idea of a good looking car. Sweet ride due to all it's mods, but ugly to boot!

whitey
7th February 2003, 09:57 PM
actually thats only 2.17 cents at the moment as our doller is kicking ass :P , but I agree on the car it's way overdone it would look better with a regular paint job and simpler wheels.

Too much money not enough brains, you can go too far with some shite, and thats a perfect example.

Hi guys this is my first post so u all will probly think im a nooby twat but i got mad reading this post on the show rs.I feel u guys should quit dissing this dude for what he has achieved with his rs when really it is probly the phattest example i have seen and what all u guys should respect.If u saw this car cruising down the road towards u your heads would snap round so fast u would get whip lash and your jaw would drop and all your woman in ur sad ride would get all wet.As a kiwi rs owner i look up to this ride and rekon u cats should as well instead of bagging what u covert :oops:

As you may know Capa used to make a superchager kit for the 2.2. The superchager would take the place of the alt and that was a problem for the aircon. What they done was made a braket that was beside the aircon next to or in place of the battery that kept the air con in its place but moved the alt.

I did enquire about the bracket but the kit was cancel due to the lack of interest. I have the mag article if anyone is interested in seeing it and the pics. I will personally email it unless someone would be kind enough to put it up here.
