Screen... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

I need a screen for my STi's hood scoop as it just about sucks up everything on the road.. my poor intercooler is taking a beating since I drive from Sparks to S. Carson 5 days a week... any ideas on who makes one or where I can get one?

I made one, it's easy. We were gonna make one for eric's Sti next...Would you like one? Let me know, Cheap$

Dean · 2004-06-07, 11:13 PM

I need one as well. Sounds like a good project day.

LetItRev · 2004-06-07, 11:58 PM

Me too--picked a bunch of bugs from mine today.

MikeSTI · 2004-06-08, 12:18 AM

when and where? before thursday works for me

sperry · 2004-06-08, 10:07 AM

Lemme put together a HOWTO for ya'll:

1- buy some aluminum or stainless steel screen at Home Depot / Lowes
2- bend screen over intercooler
3- get a milkshake

BTW: you don't need to remove the IC, that's just a picture from when I had it off for some other reason. Also, you'll note that I doubled the screen over itself to get twice the protection.

fantastic scott

LetItRev · 2004-06-08, 06:36 PM

I purchased some mesh while at Lowes today. The smallest hole stuff they had was 1/4". Does yours have smaller holes Scott? I can take this stuff back if better is available.

Sounds about right.... just fold it over on itself to get 1/8".

Nope, just take 2 layers of 1/4" and off set it by 1/8"....

MikeSTI · 2004-06-09, 09:38 AM

At 1/8", there's prolly a little bit of a flow reduction... but it's nothing a quick spray from the water bottle won't cure between runs.

IheartSTI · 2004-06-09, 01:30 PM

can you put the screen neer the hood scoop?

Well, this weekend is a race weekend... so we'll probably all be busy. Maybe Sunday night if we're not all too tired... or prehaps Monday afternoon, I'm off work at about 6... what about everyone else?

MikeSTI · 2004-06-11, 07:39 PM
