Its a 30 degree fixed angle, snow will slide off to the right. Doesn't show in that pic to well. Since I'm just looking for something better then a shovel for my own driveway I decided right side works best.

A part of me was really hoping the plow was for your BRZ.

The bolt on the bottom mount on the blade can be adjusted to change the attack angle of the blade.

Ok... Someone needs to photoshop that.

Its handy, I've been doing my best to use only materials I have on hand. After buying the hardware and paint I think Im into this thing $300, the winch I already had for pulling cars onto trailers.

All this needs to do is be better then shoveling.

In more turbo related fabrication news, I had a T3 billet merge made up. Should open up turbo selection. The housing shown is from a 50 Trim T04E, maybe I'll give that a try. Element Tuning seems to like there T04E be it the slightly bigger 60 trim.

Might as well replace the known flawed OEM manifolds while it's out, if you haven't already.

This car has a pretty solid service history, I'm not sure if these are the originals or not.

T04E 50 Trim for the T3 manifold, solid performing journal bearing turbo. Little more flow capacity then the 28RS.
