Hi everyone. Andrews right I'm hopeless on these   forums but I thought id share that I have the car running now and have driven it. It is off to get tuned and dyno on Monday. rearJust need to do some finishings and that side of its done.Just waiting for the rear lips to come back and then we will tackle the tubs.

You ruined it... nah sounds cool, B4's are great cars but the TT system sucks.

Appears you removed brake booster & ABS and have a different (subaru?) MC/proportioning valve, Any issues with the steering?

Good spotting. Yes i have removed the ABS and brake booster but replaced it all with the non ABS system from a 1996 Subaru. (there is a brake booster in there still just hard to see) 

I have also swapped the complete steering column out of an earlier Subaru aswell. 

Steering rack is from the B4, all other parts are OEM except the steering universal shaft thats been lengthened due  to the xmember being spaced down 75mm.

Interesting setup man! Will be a bit of fun,

What was it in before the subaru?

Cheers. The engine and trans came out of my old Subaru that i built around 5 years ago. 

I kinda crashed it and the body was not worth repairing.

hah nice now for another shameless Plug : hop on www.ClubSUB.org.nz & ruin a few Subaru Enthusiasts day there too

 

(nice effort btw)
