2001 Subaru Impreza Rally

So what makes Rally cars better?



More lights!

5mm whites in the projectors
3mm yellow markers

Nothing at all in the back, not yet feeling up to making taillight lenses and buckets
(It might even get a special stage hood mounted light-pod before tail lights)

That lil thang looks AWESOME, Frizzy!

The one I have has been out as a static prop a couple times. Other than that she's sat on the shelf in the garage. Your stickers still look good, whereas mine are all starting to peel. Is your garage climate controlled? Mine isn't, that's why I inquire...........Perhaps the difference between being in a heated garage Vs. being in an unheated garage.

Thank you!
My stickers are peeling. It lives on a shelf or desk in the house. Shortly after arrival, i'd also gone heavy with rubdowns trying to get it to all stick, splitting at panel lines, rubber cement on the rear fender stickers... (i really like the factory team livery)

I'm not going to take pics / brag about it being cool without trying to get it all pressed flat. Even at that, some still lifted in that pic. Radiator vent got peeled and is sharpie. Intercooler scoop got sharpie until i decide it needs cut out. The star below side marker didn't have much sticky after i pulled it to drill light, so it's not back on either.

Eventually i'd like it to turn into paint, i'm just procrastinating a lot because that masking will suck so bad!

On the real WRC cars, the hood scoop is blocked off because front-mount intercooler. It looks wrong but should be solid front in blue.

You know when somethings been sitting on a shelf a while with most of the electronics pulled out 'temporarily' for some other project... but you happen to look at some parts in a broken thing you took apart just to see if it had anything good.

What could a guy do with a pcb of 4x 5mm low profile leds?



Some shoe-goo, and traffic cones from some bit-charg / zipzap / clone...

I always liked the look of a big ol' rack of PIAA or Hella lights hanging off a rally car.

LOL...here we go.....we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, and were wearing sunglasses at night.....

If you're the only guy at a meet that has a police car, the cops can't hassle you...
(Hoon responsibly.)

I don't have a retired Mount Prospect police car, and we're not on a mission from God.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

[jerry56]

That's what I meant

These are old reposts off the Matador adam-12 thread, but meh.





I'd like to come up with a magnet mounting system for the light pod, then probably tape the hood to prevent sticking and sculpt the fiberglass lightpod housing from jb weld putty

I really need to get better with an airbrush before the stickers completely fail on this
