Too me this car, for 30yr old + design Subaru as it is now for track use = aspirational
For a street car = exceptional!

Awesome results there

with the ohlins and thoses bushings this thing is smooth as butter and on the track i shaved off 5sec on my time which I could not believe lol... so far so good i think..

so since I was on the track and all most lost a motor to a faulty oil pressure sensor leaking I decided to get some proper equipment to finish the system off and new sensors.

Radium fuel rails and Bosch FPR adapter to keep it nice and simple and in series on my spare Spec-c V8 STi intake manifold.

I can build the proper lines now then swap them on to my Leone

also finally finished my new front bumper... JDM/USDM mixed with Canada top trim and impact beam.. fully mutt now lol.

all done no more accidents please !!!... next to my favourite year Subaru 2015 got to get one of these

no cheap thats for sure lol

I guess I should update this build thread since new parts are being piled up for my Subaru Leone RX TURBO STi, as of now its in storage for winter but was building the Subaru Leone TURBO WRX NB-R Wagon version which can be found here --> http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthr ... ?t=2687011

or insta gram https://www.instagram.com/big_bad_wolf_xo/

so I just ordered these EJ22T oil jets brand new from the dealership which if I remember right they couldn't be sold at the dealership which is a myth !.. also got the JDM STi quick steering sticker for my Leone.

out of japan I finally found one of these rare STi 6mt Short shifters which was a task and has the serial number right on it from STi factory.

Being magnesium I'd be very careful having them blasted - you don't want to damage them!!

I've heard stories about magnesium and polishing. I don't know how true they are but be careful none the less!

so been really slacking on updates but lets try and catch up

I add a new turbo the old version died from Anti lag fun lol, new borg warner s300sx-e has better oiling and updated cover

nico leone · Post by **nico leone** » Fri Jul 07, 2017 6:29 am

I also swapped out the turbo blanket for the PTP Turbo Blanket, so much better design and construction then the DEI ones that fall apart

I also swapped the Sparco Grid seat for a MOMO racing seat with higher bolsters to keep me snug while I'm on the track, the sparco grid is in my wagon version.

new tires, refreshed the paint on the Enkei ES tarmac 16x8j 5x100 et45

nico leone · Post by **nico leone** » Sat Jul 08, 2017 3:36 am

i add DBA 2 piece rotors for better stopping on the track, the stoptec ones cracked

I also add Forged Billet shifter forks, i was sick of the plastic tab suabru used for the stock STi 6MT transmission.

Mate sweet updates as always!

The pic of the pulled down 6 speed is very interesting!

Reverse top front?
First and second lower front followed by third and forth in the middle of the main shaft and fifth and sixth hanging out back?

Looks solid.

Now to work out how to fit a traditional dual range transfer out the back for a stronger setup that would allow easy swapping of the low range...

Personally after seeing your leone with the gold rims the white rims just don't cut it the same for me :/

Keep up the good work - and the pics!!

Cheers
