right now i just set some gorilla clue on the balsa wood to attach the two that i cut.

[Robk0000]

Finished sanding and laid down a few layers of CF. Wrapped it in duct tape, My vac broke so whatever...will see how it comes out in a few hours.

its baking in the sun at the moment :)

[Murphy2012]

Dude all the stuff you do it awesome. That is where this forum came from. Nasioc ******s pissed off too many of us.

[Robk0000]

well i unwrapped the tape and somehow it managed to be tighter in one spot, and theres a big dip...looks like **** :(


disappointing

NASIOC = the suck

post some pics still

[Robk0000]

I will im going to try it again and make it out of fiberglass layered on layers,that way it will weigh the least amount and i wont be wrapping anything so this will come out Much better.

[morbidgorilla]

NASCOCK......
dude I wish I had your Patience and extra time....but then thats probably why the haters hate. Its easier to go out and spend daddy's war bucks on parts than to DIY. threads like this remind me of Cali in the early 90's. people thought it was stupid to bolt a dustbuster and some dryer hose on an intake, now turbo kits are kewl. if you ever want to earn extra cash you know how

[2mprzya]

please keep us posted. very interested!!!

[Robk0000]

Okay, laid glass on the wing about 6 hours ago, its dried! now going to buy jigsaw bladezzz. and Cut some Stuff. maybe this will be finished by Friday? Who would you recommend for car painting around COncord area?

[Skidder]

I used Guimonds auto body on Manchester street... they didn't mind it when I took in just my trunk lid to get painted.

But at the time I did know someone who worked there... still they did a good job and the color match was right on

[2mprzya]

davis auto body in boscawen. they've done all my paint work.

[Robk0000]

im just going to have to get my front lights painted, hood scoop and the side pieces for this wing.

little paint and time required, i hope.

[Robk0000]

update: i went to take the fiberglass off the balsa wood that it was attached to, and i didnt spray it with pva release prior to laying it down...Duh. So its stuck on there lol. I just repeated what i did yesterday and did spray prior to applying the glass. So ill update you again tomorrow.


:)

[Nate8409]

Guranteed to fit. Mike has 15" steel wheels on his 2.5i which is like a newer WRX.

Nate

[Robk0000]

[mdungelman]

~ 2 weeks for winter wheels Rob? Keep the gold till first snow!

[Robk0000]

first snow = first accident on those tires :)

alrgight when it drops below 40 for the first week.

[DrewSTi]

The only problem with this Forum is you guys can't stay on topic. How is this Spoiler coming Rob? how did you come up with the demesions? Did you measure out a real rear spoiler?

[Robk0000]

It should be coming along great, only i ran into a similar problem like before. Apparently, you have to stain or finish wood prior to applying the PVA release, otherwise, you get no release...This sucks major balls. I just wasted a good chunk of Cf and fiberglass...But im going to peel it off by blasting it with Co2, and then a crowbar. It wont break, but it may have a scratch or two. Anyways, ill have it pried off in about 2 hours or however long its going to take.

As far as diemesions, The oringal Sti wing is about 4"s wider, so if i really wanted to. i could buy one on ebay and cut it down and walla. But i like DIY because then theres one of a kind. I measured it out using a cardboard template right off the back of the car. I made it so its 1" off the window, and follows the curvature of the rear window, meeting the side pieces which go with the body lines of the door window. In the end, it Should come out looking awesome!

ill post up when i rip it up with the jigsaw.

[2mprzya]

sweet. cant wait to see how this looks!

[Robk0000]

I got the wing portion out, the top piece needs a good chunk of sanding, cause te pva release is stuck to it, it actually came out pretty easily, But here are some pics, of the after rough cut.

I used the clips to hold it together as i cut so, dont mind them. You get the idea anyways.

[Nate8409]

Looks great Rob!!!

[Robk0000]

yeah...so the side peices are, lets say ****ed. they wont come out of the mold. lol, im going to try and chisel away the wood then sand down the rest.

[Nate8409]

That is too bad. You can rebuild it though.

[Robk0000]

I peeled all that rubber **** off and just layed another layer of Cf so it will be done tomorrow, although im gone for the weekend, so i wont update you tomorrow.

but give me 1 more week and it will be done




:)

[2mprzya]

sounds, and looks, good!

[Nate8409]

Pimp!

[DrewSTi]

thats pretty cool man, deff want to see it when its finished

[Robk0000]

going to finish up now, attempt to chisel out the wood on the side pieces, and finally do a trim job on the wing and sides. Will post up when im Done!

[2mprzya]

can't wait to see some more pics of this!

[Robk0000]

not coming out to well, I just trimmed one side off the wing itself, and looks like one side is just not curved enough, i attempted to fix this by making it a little less wider, but still doesnt work out well. Dont really like it at the moment...I think im going to have to reattempt...this sucks. :(

ill get some pics anyways.

[Robk0000]

Ill try and do this once more, Just not now, probably Sat my day off, so i can **** around all day, as for now im going to the range and releasing some of my daily anger at some paper targets.

[R-raid]

so what ended up happening with this project

[Robk0000]

i dunno, it didnt look right when it was done. The bow matched the rear window, but there was something that i just didnt like about it. :(
