It looks like the valve will be right where the shifter goes. No?

The valve is in front of the shifter, I am making a firewall between the tank and engine .
Finished seat mounts and transaxle torque strut. I think that's about it for welding on the chassis, but we'll see.818 seat mounts 001.JPG818 seat mounts 002.JPG818 seat mounts 003.JPG
Everything is looking great!!! Interesting idea but what makes you think you need a transaxle torque strut?
Probably don't need it. I saw a video on the forum, I have forgotten which one, you could see a lot of movement from torque at the rear of the transaxle. They do have a strut on the Subaru so why not.
Finished my coolant plumbing for the awic and radiator. Painted the seat mounts. I tried to get the paint that Rasmus used but they wont sell it in CA. I ended up using ACE appliance paint, don't think it has any uv protection but that shouldn't matter under the seat.818 cooling 001.JPG818 cooling 002.JPG818 cooling 003.JPG818 cooling 004.JPG818 cooling 005.JPG818 cooling 007.JPG
I had to recess my heat exchanger back closer to the radiator. The front bumper will hit it where you have it now. Might want to do a quick test fit of the front bumper
Hard to see from this, but where it as at here i still had to cutout quite a bit for it.
I also ended up putting 90 degree barbs on the exchanger to keep the hoses running away from the wheels but it looks like you already figured that one out

What part of the bumper are you talking about? The front wrap around?
Youre right I need to reposition a little., might be able to trim the nose a little as well. I don't want it sticking below the frame and I would like to get the cap off. It seemed like with the original brackets that it would stick down and the cap would be inaccessible. Back to the drawing board
You're right my cap is inaccessible. I only need to remove 2 mounting screws to shift it enough to remove it, plus removing isn't something I do that often.
You should have enough room to pull the cap and fill with a funnel.

I need you and Brando to hurry up and finish. I would like to see some datalogs of your intake temps during your track sessions with the AWIC.

Where did you get that aluminum tube for the HE? Does it come with ridges on the ends of the tubes to fit the heater hose over?
Thanks- Chad

I bought the tubing from mc Master Carr. I welded a bead around the ends to hold the hose on. It kind of looks like you would have to fill the system from the rear to get the air out of the intercooler.
Great pictures showing your work. I'll be sure to revisit this when I'm ready to plumb the AWIC.
Finished the exhaust, Just tacked together, will weld up later. Just bought a cheap ebay muffler and down pipe, cutup the doun pipe and presto! It is stainless but very thin.818 exhaust 001.JPG818 exhaust 002.JPG
Still procrastinating on the wiring so I finished the drivers foot box. The 'R' kit doesn't have any way to seal off the coolant hoses. A fire suit wont help a steam bath.818 foot box 001.JPG
finished installing gauges in dash can continue wiring project until I can procrastinate more8i8 dash cluster 002.JPG

It is a 6003 street dash, no telemetry, does lap times and has almost all the gauges I need. My ecu can do any data that I really need
Are you using the OEM ECU or a aftermarket unit?
I am using aftermarket from VCP.
Finished the filler in front of the dash. I moved the dash back a couple inches so I could reach the switches while buckled in. Also got an Early Christmas present. I told the wife it was from her.dash filler 001.JPGtrailer 001.JPG
That looks nice! Looks like it might be low enough that you could just drive it up the trailer's ramp? AC too... it'll be more equipped than your car.
I came with 5 foot aluminum ramp extensions, it is a very easy grade into the trailer. If I had bought it new I probably wouldn't have gotten the a/c, but summertime at Thunder Hill It might see some use.
Still wiring, almost done a little clean up and then a few thing on the motor. I bought some aluminum channel for Osh and ran the wiring harness and battery cable inside so it wouldn't be draped around everything. Wheels came yesterday Thanks Wayne!dec update 001.JPGdec update 002.JPGdec update 003.JPG
Looking great ! Whose fire system did you use ? What type ?

It is a Safecraft halon from Summit
I like the way this is coming together.

Nice wiring configuration! I wish I could do as good as that, but I doubt...

Dan, looks great! You're going to want to go from the bottom of the heat exchanger under the radiator to the pump as it is a centrifugal and will not prime itself. There is room between the radiator support and the splitter.
