Moore Performance Parts

Work in progress - EJ25 INTAKE MANIFOLD – work in progress

We’re excited to give our Subaru brethren a first look at what has been going on in the Moore Performance skunkworks!

This render shows what is known internally as project: Mothership — a no-compromise approach to EJ25 intake manifold design.

Built-in liquid intercooling, TGV-less runners, and a large plenum volume are some of the current Mothership concepts being developed in conjunction with the airflow experts at Carbotron.

We will have many more updates on PROJECT: Mothership as things progress. Until then, tell us what you think!

For some Subaru nerds this may not be a news but for the rest of us - did you know that subaru leone gl had a model with center ''third eye'' headlight:

ubaru has always been a quirky automaker, but the funkiest feature in a pantheon of funkiness has got to be the Passing Lamp. Basically, it’s a third headlight hidden in the center of the car’s grille. When closed, the light’s door looks just like any Subaru constellation logo. Flip a switch on the turn signal stalk and BAM — the door swings up to reveal a glorious beacon of Fuji Heavy radiance commanding the darkness retreat!
Offered on 1980-82 GL and BRAT models, it’s sometimes called the Center Headlight, Third Eye or Cyclops (although the mythological Greek monsters had just one eye, if you want to be pedantic about it). Apparently though, it only worked with low beams. The Passing Lamp would automatically shut off if high beams were activated while the door was still open. It might have been a handy feature if you if you sprang for the turbocharged EA81.

It's Official: Vauxhall And Opel Have Been Bought By PSA

The owners of Peugeot, Citroen and DS have agreed to buy the Opel and Vauxhall brands from General Motors.

The €2.2 billion move for brands that are currently losing around £200 million every year means that GM now has no official presence in Europe, and Group PSA becomes Europe’s second-largest automotive manufacturer after the Volkswagen Group.

"BETWEEN THE LINES" - A Community's Love For Their Subaru

https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-a-communitys-love-for-their-suba/description

This documentary highlights how a car is more than a vehicle; it is an extension of self, identity, community and culture.
"Between The Lines" is greater than just a car documentary. It is the belief that there is more than what is seen on the surface. It is the everyday struggle that we all live through and how we can turn that around into something greater. It is the belief in ourselves that we can do anything we set our minds to and this documentary is a testament to that belief. As we navigate through this life, keep in mind that there is more between the lines.

Cat or no cat this was going to happen if there was a gap between engine and manifold.
Sad news for the families rip
 
Dmitrij Sribnyj:

ANNOUNCEMENT! - THATS A BIG ONE!

I am very pleased to share with you my new project, which is currently in progress and due for completion in very short time!
Since Subaru still have not confirmed the STI version of BRZ to go in to production, I could not wait any longer and decided to bring my dream car in to this world myself.
BRZ / GT86 / FRS - whatever you want to call it! This is already an exciting car to start with! Small, low and light, but whats most interesting about this build, is that it will be the ALL WHEEL DRIVE race car! YES! - AWD / 4WD / 4x4 - again whatever you want to call it, but yes it will have all wheels in action!

This idea been for long time in my mind and with some spare time, which became available after putting on pause my Rallycross program, I finally could get this project rolling!
I decided to call it BRZ86 because its a shared chassis between Subaru and Toyota. However it will be fitted exclusively with Subaru running gear and all wheel drive 6 speed transmission, while the new race boxer engine will be built by Scoobyclinic and will produce over 500bhp of pure happiness and 500 ft/lb of torque pulling it carrier to the finish line.

I had to keep this project as a secrete until today, because I wasn't sure, that its be happening the way it was planned, especially with a lot of work needed to adopt the AWD system to this RWD chassis. But with great help from people in business the ideas became reality and at current stage the car undergoing modifications to chassis and safety features being added on for extra rigidity.

All major metal work being done by Roll cage designs. This guys can truly transform thing from plans on paper in to awesome builds, they been specialising in all sort of race preparation on cars for many years and have high reputation and approval in the industry!

Apart from chassis, most of important components from this puzzle already been prepared or arranged and will be ready to be bolted on once the chassis collected from Roll cage designs in less time, than it actually took me to believe that this project is becoming so much of the actual thing!
The purpose of the car and the spec was pointed to target the needs to compete in Gymkhana and Barrel Sprint races, but was I ever limited with my current SCR GC8 race car? - Sprints, drag racing and anything to do, where I got to beat the time, thats what all this build is about! I am confident, that with back up by Scoobyclinic and all my sponsors and partners this new car will be just another one off in it kind! Strong, attractive and very competitive!

I guess thats it for now, but you are more than welcome to like, share and follow this build on the page which I have created a while ago, it is dedicated specifically on updates with the build - Subaru BRZ / Toyota GT86 - AWD conversion
Like, Share and follow! - it be a change of the history when finished!

Special thanks to Donny, Barry and John from Roll cage designs for accepting this challenge and helping my dream to start to come through!

Also many thanks to all my sponsors, who always behind my back and give the so much needed support!

Doesn’t she look amazing? My new Volkswagen Polo GTI sitting pretty on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for today’s World RX Media Day. Less than 48 hours to go until the action gets underway – who’s joining us in Barcelona?
