EBay USA bud. Type in impreza titanium key.

 

Cars looking great Jake keep it up loved the read just.

Ps once finnished drop it off to mine got a bag of cash waiting for it )

 

This is how cars should be done. Proper!

 

Cheers guys, don't worry fud. You have first refusals lol

Jake

For the first time doing one for the pair of us it took about 4hrs,

All in all very happy, and best of all the Boise has gone so it was one of the tensioners

Jake

 

Get that header tank sorted Jake, it's disgraceful

Fantastic work, keep going

 

I know, that will teach me for cleaning it, I left it fresh metal after soda blasting it and used a supposed alloy cleaner from auto smart and it did that !! Next week its coming off and once clean I'll seal it with a light dust of clear coat! That stuff from auto smart is terrible stuff.

 

Autosmart Ali shine isnt meant for bare metal though Jake

 

He gave me an Ali cleaner. Said it's fine for putting on ans it's made a right mess

 

What was it called?

 

Coming along nicely Not much more to do now surely?


Excuse my ignorance, but what is it with the key? Is it just 'cool'? You still use your immobiliser, then use this to start the engine...

 

It's not just cool it's uber cool lol
It's the titanium key.

My car being jap import doesn't have a chipped key , the original key is literally a piece of thin metal, the car a Clifford alarm and blackjax too.

Can't remember the stuff Chris, but not using it again.

 

It is uber cool! haha.

So mine being a UK wide track blob can't have one? or it can but it would only work to turn the engine on and not imobilise obviously.

 

I'd say so yes bud

 

After the auto smart stuff destroying y header tank I took it off again and sand blasted then this time gave it a lick of silver, I'm not sure wether to try a have black plastic header tank to rid the bay of the corroded thing.

Also blacked some other pipes and brackets aswell as fitting some stainless bolts to rid the old Subaru ones, then I added silver indicator bulbs aswell as changing the head light bulbs for some more powerful ones.

Next up need to find the hose clips.

 

Beautiful.

 

Fitted a new pollen filter to the car, then had the dash in bits 3 times trying to find the dash vibration.

Turned out its the metal rods from the heater dials to the motor flaps, there in plastic cases and these along with loose ish motor flap screws rattles. In the end. Quick ish fix.

Secondly. Decided the miltek is too boomy for me, so I've bought a genuine sti back box, the one with writing on the tip to go on the car, oem plus style.

 

You should have kept that Prodrive back box, they are a good compromise, the std STI box is very quiet

Tony

 

Yeah I know,

I'm trying to make it look as factory as poss, bar the splitter I suppose.

Plus I'm good at changing back box sounds, haha. Surgery

 

Well today, a bit unplanned we decided to get the spec c on the ramp,

We marked out any dents or flaws before stripping

IMAG2176 by cuprajake1, on Flickr


The sills have little dimples in them from the factory pressing, presume these are for we're skirt holes would go, these will be retained too

Spec c bumper bar, with added subaru rust

This stage is a spray filler, this will be blocked down, then we will add three coats of primer,

Also got this, in my quest for oem-ness


IMAG2187 by cuprajake1, on Flickr

Ill prob do some surgery on it for some more noise

And a bit more oem-ness


IMAG2189 by cuprajake1, on Flickr
