new udate 21st october
right been back in the garage and managed to progress the project on. then got a big set back.all will be revealed.
waiting for parts thought i would find something to do. take the old decals off the front bumper which is getting painted.
the front bumper
needs preparing for paint will be getting done by neil at elcilpse motor bodies
got the new perrin anti roll bar 25mm fitted
starting fitting the new intercooler pipework the rampod induction kit
that fitted ok intercooler fitted ok no problems yet
the pipe work was tight and a bit of a battle but no problems yet!
still going ok wasnt blown away on the finish on the pipework but still carried on fitting the kit.
things were starting to get difflecult rubbing issues that wont resolve etc
starting fitting drivers side when the problems started, there was no way that the pipework would fit tried every combination you could think of, but no way would it fit.
contacted andy taylor MD of AET turbos and he said he would come over with another kit on saturday and give me a hand swoping them over. i was grateful i was dealing with a company that does treat their customers right. but had something on so i went over to andys on the monday.
we checked every piece of the kit. andy had got it touch with hyperflow the makers. all the pipework was exactly the same in the new kit. i was looking at andys show stand and noticed that the end pieces on the intercooler were bigger and slightly angled this was the only difference. so he swopped everything all the pipework and the intercooler. i also got the CHESS chassis enhancement and strength subframe which is for the 06 onwards but fits the 05 a treat.
got back home and fitted the new intercooler and pipework in twenty minutes.
what a differce the angles on the intercooler were the difference and the fit is great.
the chess unit inplace
adds a lot of strength up front but is not standard on the 05
all the cooler pipework fitted this the side that would not fit
no rub issues
the full intercooler fitted
as you can see from the picks it looks the dogs the only issue is the pipework its supposed to be handpolished but if i showed this car i would be laughed at
so all the pipework is off and in the hands of r+s electroplating in manchester who are doing the polishing for me. andy from AET turbos is taking it up with hyperflow. right short break to upload some more pics.

thanks andy for your symphany.
right part 2
front suspension
got all the suspesion from the powder coaters. so im cracking on
as the picture shows the perrin PSRS kit has simple instructions on it
well pleased with the powder coating from CBC at banbury
starting to put the front suspension together
easy job fits very well
the new perrin front endlinks look the business
the kits are very good and look well.
this is what you should see underneath.
the silver bushes are for the subframe. i could of fit the perrin one but my pockets are not bottomless and its something easy done in the future.
a couple of pics of the a frame/swing arm or whatever you like to call it.
the next side to go on
right thats it with pics for know
to do list to follow

Thanks. It was the spacers I was most interested in. Must find the Perrin site to check.
I have a 'rubber-free' chassis bar the engine and box mounts. Sure does stiffen things up nicely.

hi frayz not keen on the blue flocking ? bit of a marmite effect. looks a lot better in the flesh, flash on the camera lightens it up . also think when all finished it will look better. i actually like it now lots of sleepless nights over it, but was smart enough to be able to change it easy if needed to. the projects going well tons to do so much.

put bottom of suspesion on nearside side
using the perrin stuff
started to get the tein mono flex on offside. dropping the front 20mm at the moment because of the road outside bit off a ramp
got this lot from john at TSL motorsport
started building the hubs up will have come apart again. because parts still need painting. but i need to get the car out of the garage to steam clean the engine and detail it
at least it will fly apart
the hubs need doing
god i feel like progress is starting to come
not using stud lock or copper slip at the moment will do that at final install
now looking like a car again
love it when a plan comes together
should be getting the other side done sunday and the wheels on
when the wheels are on. i can clean the engine and my poor garage. get all me tools sorted out. bloody great

hubs
it sort off didnt work out if you know what i mean. got the frames done scooby blue or close. and it went all right with the red. but i had forgot about the suspension being green. the hubs and the calipers are getting done red. and the disc bell will be red as well. the wheels are getting powder coated white. so hopefuly it should work out allright. it shows on big projects things slip through. but i will get there. i can always do the suspension blue or red. or yellow

i have been working my but off in the garage. its bloody freezing but i acheived what i wanted the car back on wheels

love the tein stuff real quality
got the wheel on the drivers side then realised it was the wrong side wheel. but im only pushing the car out of the garage for now.
feels good to see the wheels back on
top pic of the mono flex
still struggling in a small untidy garage
reassemble of the hub only temp for now
got the front strut brace on nice bit of kit. tip on 05 sti scoobys. you dont need the bracket they send you. just take out the 2 bolts holding the servo pipe on pull the pipe out of the way. fit the strut brace slip the pipe back under it and replace the 2 10mm bolts.
really nice kit
hubs going together well. nice and colourful
fronk links perrin
backplate looks better
passenger side built up wheel on
drivers side
on its wheels dropped the front 25mm
lots and lots to do under here yet
first time to see the flocked door panels outside
looks really good in normal light
still loads to do but i can really crack on now
another shot of half done interior
the beast emerges
rights thats me for now freezing cold. but really pleased with the car 25mm drop. beast.

As for my stuff mate. i have a 2.5 build ongoing at the moment. Its too much to run as a thread due to parts not all arriving at once due to the massive cost of such a setup. Not to mention my FMIC, TMOC, carbon Recaro etc etc.
Should be good once its all done and mapped

Mick.......do you not know.........blue and green should never be seen unless there's a colour in between!!
You'd best get something pink (cerise) slipped in there!!!
Well done on the project so far mate, it's looking like it will be a superb looking motor when it's finished. I'm sure every part will not be to everyone's tastes, but so what eh?
You can't please all of the people all of the time, but you can please some of them, some of the time.
Looking forward to your next installment. By the way...........I want your intercooler!!!

Hi Mick. hope your well my friend.
Was down at AET today trying to find some time to fit my shabby in comparison 3 Door cosworth project in, As you Say Andy is a top bloke indeed, he put me onto this thread.
What can I say mate, absolutely stunning, the powder coating really is superb, without going into the flock, really does look like a fantastic job mate., just settled down with a cup of coffee to catch up on this.
Hope all is well, and again superb thread mate.
