Frayz's V7 Prodrive Edition Impreza STi - "The Bomber"
I was looking at the solar panel chargers that plug into the cigarette lighter iirc. Trouble was, the battery instructions specify the charging voltage tolerancs and all the solar chargers I could find were too high voltage.frayz wrote:Would like to make up a small charging loom so i can just leave it on a battery conditioner when the cars not in use mate.
I have a mate that did thid and had a charging jack mounted out of sight under the front number plate
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away!
Some of you may remember me making the billet fire extingusher bracket that mounted on the front of my passenger seat.
Well at a Time Attack event a few weeks back i gave the bracket away to someone who needed it to pass scruteneering, i let em keep it.
So ive just made a new one, with a few nicer details, i'll fit it tomorrow.

[quote="dynamix"]Great work but it still needs a retaining strap around the actual bottle ]

No real updates today...
Although i fitted a brand new set of wheel arch liners today of which i reinforced with 3M fibreglass fabric on the back of the weak areas.
Im also still not happy with how the filter on the APS intake fouls on the charge pipe. After comparing the filter with my previous AEM dryflow ive decided im gonna go back to the dryflow element. Its better constructed than the APS and is dry and not oiled. I much prefer the dry setup to the oiled APS element. Helps prevent MAF failure too.
So i contacted a guy i know that manufactures silicone hoses for the prototype car industry and he is going to make me a bespoke hose for me to connect the AEM filter to the APS intake.
The hose will also bend at 45 degrees and mount the filter in a nice big cavity behind the foglight port hole.
Sweet

Frayz, How much did you pay for wheel arch liners and were they from Subaru stealership or do you have another source for them, and did they come with all the relevant new fastners.
Interested because both liners on mine are knackered and one of them has a big tear in it from having been caught on the tyre and pulled down. I've had to repair it with glass fibre but i would rather have some new ones

Buggers cancelled my op just a couple of days before it was due. Inconsiderate barstewards!! 
Waiting now for another execution date!!:headhack:
