to be honest alot sooner than i thought but im out of work at the mow and with a new baby so it has slowed down abit now and will have to wait for some parts and use some old ones eg exhaust till i can afford new ect... hopfully fit my 6 speed box soon but want to get new mounts first for engine and box
been looking at the one's that zen sell which are the sti group n spec

 

Shame you're not neary by as I'm looking for someone to do my upgrades on the brakes and poss suspension.
Re the 6 speed - you going for the ones found say on the wr1s or ones in the forester which have the long gears?

 

my sump and baffle came today so few more pics
torqued cam sprockets to spec and added a few little bits like magnetic bolt, plus i ended up spraying a thin layer of silver which will make it more easy to see if any leaks also remembered to change o rings on pick up and sump

You put the bloody sump on top you nutter......





























Joking.... well ahead now bud

 

the six speed i have is STI V8 03-06 with matching rear diff which i was told done only 20,000 miles

 

just waiting on my idler pulleys and i can get my timing belt on then
and then on to manifold

 

How much was the sump mate?

 

These seem to be quite popular on those upgrading from 5 speed boxes. Good side is short ratios but sacrificing top end.

 

it cost me £ 293.00

 

 

Pricey but needed I guess.

 

not really fella, had a quote off the guy that made one for carl davey and he wanted around 400 + and my sump exchange

 

fark any idea how much a standard one is?

 

around £70 new

 

That sump does look the business though.

 

Its really coming along now Lee

 

cheers kev

 

That looks like it's coming along nicely Lee Looking forward to seeing it up and running

 

Wont be long now Lee

 

Great project mate. It reminds me when I did my first one a few years back.
Don't suppose you'd divulge where you got that lovely sump from would you?

 

This is a quality thread
Gona be one awsome scoob

 

hi fella following you threads too was your first one the white classic by any chance

 

hi mate glad you like it and will be getting more pics and progress up very soon

 

Chop chop then get it done in the next 2 weeks then we can pop the box in when i come home from hols.

Seem to be getting the bug for upgrading myself now.... car ready for remap which i had a good price off western performance, just ordered goodridge brake lines, gotta pick up ( i hope ) new discs from godspeed tomorrow..... avc-r was a peice of golden shower when explained to me in monkey terms got it holding at 1.1bar at the mo until remap.

All fun..

went down the garage for an hour tonight and fitted timing belt and all new idler pulleys and new belt tensioner and went to take pics and my camera battery run out also fitted the belt covers and done something a little different and fitted my crank pulley and a few other parts my other half said i could use her cam so managed to take pics of it now everything is turning sweet hope you like
