I like living dangerously

 

Can you ask her to give you a clout, and get the Wagon fettled with.

 

Just showed her that, the response is fair enough.

"Too true, you will never finish the fukcing thing.".

 

He loves the D.

 

well I ain't marrying her for her money...she's a teacher

 

I can relate to that too ......... my missus is also a teacher

 

She knows you so well.

 

Ian quick question what are the issues fitting alloy arms to a Newage wagon? Lad over on Scottish Scoobies had a steel one snap and subaru are denying any responsibility despite the recall so the obvious route is to fit alloy arms but don't think they are a straight fit.

 

the same lad who has posted Bout 5000 times here too?!

I thought the chassis werr the same regardless of saloon/estate?

 

Alright Arch, yeah as above they are identical; so all the underpinnings are the same across four and five door chassis...iirc new age arms are different from classics though

 

yeah, bit worrying that eh


conservatory is now being fitted second week of Jan so I should be finished with the house early Feb. If I don't finish the blimming wagon before the wedding I'll never here the end of it

 

Delay the wedding....

 

Lordy that would go down well...any idea how expensive it all is

 

Cool thanks must admit I thought I Was going mad. There are slight differences in track between Newage and classic arms but nothing other than a wee bit more castor so actually a positive.

Anyway when you finishing this ?

 

Yeh probably the same not seen the posts on here

 

I learnt something new there, thanks Arch.


There's the million dollar question...spring for build then its gonna take some tie to get mapping sorted

 

Start a crowdfunding thing, and get a different ecu. I know why you'd rather not, but, if it's going to be that much of a pig to get mapped, then you may have to.

I started a crowdfunding thing in jest for a 6 speed box, it was massively unsuccessful.

 

Could do...still holding out for Richard Bulmer and I want to show people it does work instead of going down the easy option


Crowd funding...hmm, maybe for a 911R?

 

Happy NY. 2017; year of the wagon

Got to cross the first thing off my list today; air feed for oil cooler. Marked to cur, I wanted to keep as much of the pressed steel as possible to retain strength.


First cut with angle grinder.


Cleaned up with a file; radius on every edge and no burrs. Test fit with hose is spot on no pinch now.


Cleaned and primed. I have so rubber edge strip to glue to it once dry.


Feels good

 

Ian you feeling alright bud ?

 

lull in house building until I can get some steel in next week, so trying to be productive. I keep reading silly engine swap threads to moviate me

 

Holy shet he's actually fabbed something. Mind you cutting/grinding and finishing something doesn't take very long, must have been a slow day joking aside good to see an update again, moar.

 

 

Still going strong

 

it's a start...shame it pissing down tonight

 

It happened again

CAI hose in...lovely shade of orange but this is double skinned and satiless so won't go rusty like the last one You can just see it peaking through below.


Slapped bumper back on and trimmed both hoses.


Noticed a bit of rust so removed it and primed it.


Just need to stick the rubber strip on and both sides are done...I used impact adhesive last time and made a bloody mess, any recommendations anyone?

I've got to trim the flares of the fuel lines to add the -an adapter, <engage dumbass mode> can I use my Dremel and not blow myself up?! <disengage dumbass mode>

 

Yes just drain the line and give it 5 minutes. Fuel soon flashes off/evaporates.

 

Cheers Ciaran, I actually have a pipe cutter I bought for the job but then forgot about it...doh

 

Right, who's kidnapped the tattooed one?

2 updates in under a month is proof that something has happened to the real Ian.

 

If it wasn't pissing down I'd be out there now, hiatus is over Micky
