very nice

 

Love that front end! Looks aggressive yet relatively understated

 

Car is currently having its bodywork sorted then booked into with Richard Henry for a couple of bits and hopefully for a remap next month with Andrew Carr. No longer for sale so will be enjoyed thoroughly over summer, hoping to do a few trackdays/rwybs

 

Banny car looks spot on mate you should be proud of the end result ............. if there is such a thing as an end result hahah

 

Good to hear you're going to keep it and enjoy it for a bit longer!

 

Cheers guys the aim is to get the wastegates piped optimally to allow a little more boost and aid spool. Few older pics I had saved

Some pics of the engine as it was built up in November 2013 (6 months use) after a strip down to change the headstuds

14/12 headstuds



Pinned block



Wire ringed 2.5 heads

 

Very nice!

 

Bodywork almost complete inc new rear bumper bar

Thanks for the info, sadly the original thread from the rexnet.come.au website is no longer alive. But thanks to the wonderful wayback machine, I have got all the info from the archive and restructured the thread and added to the thread here on ScoobyNet

I will have to find a climate control panel and get this done!

Only thing I am not clear on is the temperature side of things. I assume the temp readout is from the internal sensor in the dash. Would love to get an external temp reading from the climate control unit!

 

Never had you down as a "show & shine" kinda guy Banny. Guessing it's age related

Frank

 

Yep the temp is takien from the cabin sensor for the auto function on the unit but must be possible to locate a sensor somewhere to take the reading. The unit is from a forrester and come up on ebay from time to time.

Frank she needs to look tidy from the rear as thats the view everyone gets to see

 

Class mate

 

A tidy rear end and a rear wiper.... All sounds a bit gay to me
Could have been worse right enough... Could have been a P1!

Credit where credits due though Banny.. Me likely a lot!

 

Very interesting radiator and intercooler setup you have there. I like the fact that there is less pipework.

Whats involved with this, I see thats an Airtec RS500 intercooler. But what about the radiator, is it custom built or an off the shelf item?

Also, are you still running fans with that rad?

 

Hi Doz it is a mk3 golf vr6 radiator which had the bottom hose outlet modified and moved to to the original subaru position. I am running 2 12" spal fans and it hold temps perfectly even in traffic

 

Is it painted yet? Hurry up man!!!!!

 

Thanks for that info mate, I like the look of that setup. Do you mind if I copy it?!

So you had the bottom outlet moved from the other side of the rad? Trying to get this clear in my head. Top hose is on the left side of the rad if looking from the front, and bottom hose is on the right side if looking at the rad from the front?

Its just in your picture, it shows the two hose connectors on the left side of the rad. I assume you had the mod to the out let done after that pic was taken?

What about the smaller outlet right at the top? Ive looked at other VR6 rads online and cant see any with the small outlet at the top.

 

had to pull it away for a few days to have the gates repiped and a map check before a full map in a couple of weeks. Being finished this week will get some pics up soon

Its a good setup no issue with your copying it at all

That rad in the pic you posted is the wrong one, it was changed after that for a larger item.

This is the actual setup now with the correct rad, will get you more pics once I have it back

 

Glad you kept the car in the end Mr Banny

 

Me too Steve bodywork is pretty much done bar a few odd jobs

 

Yes

 

Looks great!
