Read the write up in Banzi today but it really does not do this car justice pal, maybe they should give you a job as editor there Neil

And a shame SNET is not mentioned either.....

Still, cracking build mate, keep us all updated with the never ending additions to this motor!!

EMB - you've saved me from a dull day at work, fantastic thread on all your hard work and an outstanding result. Possibly the best modded Impreza i've ever seen

Correct SNET wasn't mentioned, but not left out intentionally, just forgot. As I also forgot to thank the wife, which she reminds me of constantly..


Will be in another mag early next year, along with a few upgrades.

Quick update chaps...

I have a few plans upgrades for over the following months, nothing too fancy, just think wheels, suspension, turbo, exhaust...


Unless anybody wishes to buy the car that is, in any specification, all dependant on price of course..

I have no idea...


One of those 'how long is a peice of string' questions.

I reall don't want to sell it, but I have plans for another project car which I really want to fulfill.

I would not sell for a poor price just to get rid, but if I was offered £xxxxx I could work out a spec and go from there..

But then again, I have more that I want to do to the car..

What I really need is a large free cash injection into my bank account, and thenI could do both..

Any offers...

Next project for me is indeed another Scoob, although I have a few more plans for this car for 2009

In the meantime, I thought I would share a few more shots I have..

Front cover of Banzai, which incidentaly have put my car up for voting for car of the year 2008..



Random shots..

















Hope you like...
