On a 97 sti 3, i had to trim the fan on the passenger side so the pipe would clear it and the back of the bumper needs trimming down too.

If your fitting it to a pre96 car then you will probably have to cut the pipe to the throttle body and rejoin using a piece of silicon hose(basically making it longer) and also the pipe to the turbo may need to be shortend(turbo end) to stop it fouling on the throttle body....thats the only mods i done to my 95wrx to make it fit as well as the usual bumper and front panel cutting

I removed the right hand fan because i had the same problem and like i said before the pipe to the turbo needs to be shortend because it will foul on the throttle body....i found that when that pipe was cut i couldnt use a straight piece of hose to join the pipe to the turbo so used a 45 elbow which worked perfectly
