OK to be honest. The fiddly bit was the adaptor for the crank case/oil drain. The rest is just plumbing in routing the pipe work ext. The only thing that took a bit of figuring out was the pcv/outlet but only because the instructions cover different years. Basically the outlet of the aos and pcv go to a Y connector with the other end going to the turbo intake.

This week I have been ticking things off my list on the new car.

Full service
Re-sprayed the whole HTA bottom line kit in satin black
New genuine STI high pressure header tank cap
Rear badges removed
Rear fog lamp tinted (may go 1 shade darker on this again)

Today I have done:

Another oil change with 10-60 Mobil 1 race oil
Rear cluster clear sections light tinted
Full H&S exhaust system fitted (sounds so much better now) Already had decat downpipe.

Before:



After:



Also ordered, received and tried some 20mm wheel spacers but turns out the seller sent me the wrong spigot size so they have now gone back. Now looking at 9.5" wide wheels instead.

Oh I nearly forgot, I've also now got a FMIC kit coming for this car and an induction kit so I can get a bigger turbo and make the most of the forged engine!

I must start a project thread.

Thanks mate. Yep, gutted about the Foz but having the new one is making things a little more bearable!

Looks like the Foz MAY be going to someone we know from here who will be putting it back on the road, which will be great. Will let you know if it happens on my project thread.

It would be a real shame to break it mate.

Fingers crossed someone takes it on and shows it the tlc it deserves

Stunning car mate.

How is this on a 2010 reg plate though?

And should it not have the hawkeye square boot lock? Or did they fit the older boot looks to the Spec C models?

There are a number on various plates due to being unregistered in Japan and imported direct to UK.

from another scoobynet thread


JDM cars didn't get the square lock.
