And here's what wasn't used...

Are you planning to have ABS? Are you going to use the stock instruments?

Yes to the ABS. I have no intentions of removing the ABS system and atleast in the Subaru engine management, the ECU does not control the ABS system... although it does control the cruise control (which I obviously won't have in this car)

How's the project coming? That wiring harness makes my head hurt.....amazing how much stuff isn't needed to make a car run.

I'm working on the custom fiberglass roof scoop that will feed air to the intercooler in the rear trunk. Should have some pictures to share in a few days.

I got the first round of primer sprayed on the prototype fiberglass roof scoop. Once I'm happy with the shape and finish, I'll make a mold off of this part. The plan is to make the scoop removable so I can get to the rear trunk and remove the fiberglass hard top to get to the top of the engine. Also, now that most of the rear window will be blocked, I will probably just fill it in and mount a rear facing camera somewhere and an LCD display where the rear view mirror would go.

I know the shape of the scoop may not be the most attractive, but it will definetly serve it's purpose of getting a lot of cool air to the intercooler which will be in the rear trunk and will vent down over the transaxle and through the license plate are in the rear bumper.
