Good grief, a treasure trove!
Hope you are moving to a big garage (with flat attached!)

 

i'll just dump it all at my parents

 

You should see my parents place, and 'my' garage down there...I've three cars in and around it in various states of decoposition including the Scoob, plus loads of bits...probably have two complete sets of Impreza running gear in fact!

Now I've got my own garage to design...oh and another vehicle on it's way

 

''The more space I have, the more rubbish I keep'' comes to mind, except Kev's Rays of course.

I'm sure their buyer will be very happy with them

 

well, Autosports was useful, spent 4 days with the Yokohama tyre development team, the things i could tell you anyway, next day or so i'll let the cat out the bag for the car's new spec, also probably start a new thread

 

Looking forward to seeing whats new on the car Kevin, get that spec list up

Joe.....

 

Excellent!
Graham

 

*cough*

Yes please

 

sod the car and new thread detailing it's thread... where are the yoko girls pictures?

Simon

 

all in good time

 

200 photos and only 3 good ones

 

not my words, hers!!

 

*keeps looking at watch*

 

Any updates Kev??

Joe.....

 

new engine & heads are underway, i would start the new thread but too many variables are in the spec atm, might just do it anyway


not so DIY anymore

 

Kev, he was on about the photos

 

Well, 3 years ago almost to the day i started this thread but it's time i started a brand new thread for the latest evolution of the car, so farewell thread, it's been nice knowing you

 

I'm sure many many would agree Kev, the best thread in projects ever.
Look forwards to the next chapter.
Graham.

 

Right, as promised, parts are now becoming available and i'll offer them here for a week or so before sticking them in the for sale section for you to fight over

First off, wheels & tyre package, i'd like to think this is one of the lightest and stickiest wheel/tyre combo you can get in 16", wheels are around 400 quid each new so all im asking is that for all four bearing in mind that the back two have been repaired and balance up perfectly. I'd like to think my tyres are worth 250 having done next to no mileage whatsoever, ideally want to sell the wheels & tyres as a set for obvious reasons.

 

Next up is the suspension, 4x inverted Strut adjustable Ohlins for sale, cost new is 1.2k i believe, same diameter strut as the bilsteins that come off the 22B (so feckin huge compared to most stuff out there) but these are adjustable, they're fairly corroded as you'd imagine but the stuff that matters is in fully working condition (i will inspect them when they come off this week to make sure everythig is in working order) i'll throw in the springs that are on them for free looking at 350ish

 

Also got the Cusco pillow ball front top mounts, these have been converted so you can run them as either castor or camber plates, best offers secures

 

Engine & gearbox etc. won't be out for a while yet, but the Apexi PowerFC is provisionally sold already

 

Hmmmm, maybe i'll just stick it in the for sale section straight away

 

*cough*

Headers Kev

 

What gearbox is it Kev?

 

It's a freshly rebuilt STi 6 with 3.9 diffs to lengthen the ratios and DCCD centre (also got a standard viscous 1:1 centre too), tops out at 140 if i remember




Andy, headers will come off in a week or so

 

 

What model years will these fit? Saloon and wagon?
Are they adjustable height or just bump rebound?

Mine is a wagon with STi 4 saloon dampers / springs, want to lower it but not stiffen it any more!

Cheers

 

They're these Ohlins fixed perch struts for '02-'06 WRX and '04 STi - Car Part Reviews - NASIOC but for classics (not sure if they'd fit a wagon tbh, quick search on here should sort that question out) adjustment is all in one so does bump & rebound together and obviously they're not height adjustable being a fixed platform strut, so not sure you'd get it any lower with these without like you say, using lowering springs which will stiffen it
