I'll have a look on Wednesday.

 

God your a picture *****...... No prob m8 you got my number if need.

 

looking really good lee, iv been watching the thread all the way through you have done some work. love the spilter
when u get it all back to gether will u need to have it remapped straight away

 

hi how's things ? yes car will need to be mapped straight away and will be done by jgm as all my maps have been done by him in the past hows the other half still tinkering with his scoob ?? or have you got him working on yours all the time now

 

bit of an up date as last two days have been a bit of a mission
fitted the 6 speed prop and rear diff and went to fit driveshafts and would not fit so done abit of reseach and some help of the guys on the 22b site and found that the dif that came with the 6 speed was a 180 diff and my old diff is 160 so shafts are different so had to take it off but to fined out if my old diff would work i had to find out what ratio the 6 speed diff was first so took the plate of the back of the six speed diff and had to count the teeth on the cw and pinion to work out the ratio which the guys helped on the 22b site again so all sorted now

the other problem is the braided fuel line i bought will not work in my fixings and have been told that the only one that will be best for the fixings will be the goodridge stuff and it's like £20 + a meter and i need about 2 and half of it

 

im great thanks, hows the little one doing
i wish he would do some work on mine got a big list of stuff for him to do he's been busy doing his scoob and doing a few of the boy's cars. im having mine mapped soon, been getting it ready for the shows
will yours be ready for the first show

 

seren is doing great and keeping kerri and me very busy bet your looking forward to getting it mapped have you got alot to do before the shows as it's looking great now and one of the best red classics on sn
mine will hopfully be done by end of summer i hope as there is still so much to do and still somethings to get but hoping to get it done soon as

 

Lee,
Can I just say that after our little chat and look at your project, I think I have never seen anyone so enthusiastic about a car and what needs doing to it

Your attention to detail is fantastic and you should be working for a race team somewhere. When you started talking about diff ratios you lost me completely but when I left I realised I understood because of your explanation

Awesome work mate and keep it up

 

thanks lee
getting my engine looking nice really and a good wax and polish. paul got to do a few mods for me befor the re-map hoping to get it done a week befor the fist show
bet you cant wait to get back behind the wheel of the scoob, it's going to be a beast cant wait to see it

 

thanks ian I'm glad you like the project and a sneek look at some idea's and parts i have to go on
think the diff and gearbox ratios lost me too
now sorted tho
any job would do me at the moment and your welcome to call up anytime you like fella be it for a look at the project or enything else

 

no i can't wait to get it back on the road as i miss taking it for a run on the weekends and going to shows
lets hope the weather is better for all the shows this year or all that cleaning that you will be for nothing
hope i will bump in to you and paul in one of the shows and have a chat

 

we will both be at perfomance car action day hope to see you there if you are going

 

Lee i've told you open up your garage to the public either as a museum or a show and tell Ill get the business you do the work

 

 

goodridge braided fuel line came today and cost £ 70+ for 2 1/2 meters but i can say that you pay for what you get and it is top stuff
also i have my header tank heat spacers and injector adapter kit from Carl Davey which are top stuff
hopefully get my to rear diffs down to my mate in the morning to get the plates swapped over as the six speed prop is larger than the five and the holes are out
i know i could turn the shaft mark new holes and then drill but want to do it this way by swapping plates instead
hopefully get pics and more progress asap

 

Its all coming together now Lee

 

Was great to pop up yesterday Lee, VERY impressed with how the engine's coming along. Can't wait to see the car back on the road, it'll be back better than ever. Was really impressed by the attention to detail you've gone to. Research definately pays off, you've built up a wealth of Subaru knowledge.
Thanks to Kerry for the coffee and biscuits too.

 

Saw the engine friday. Damn thats a big turbo Build looks fantastic and with quality parts aswell Hope you get the clutch sorted soon bud

 

hi lee

wow what a build you have there ...

tell you wat lol

its a long shot but ...if you dont try you never know

when you come to part with her ,,,iam you man

love you

alan ps hope you anit eating all that egg yr self ....

 

thanks guys for all calling in for a look and thanks again alan for the egg for seren hope to see you soon at a meet

 

Get some more pictures up that's an order

 

starting to lose interest in it abit as i have no more funds and never seem to have the time to spend on it plus things are not selling so no funds that way would love to keep going but reality is hitting home with the lack of money and time and just no motivation to get the job done so think this will be it for a few weeks

 

Could this be the end of catalunya 172 Find out next week on scoobynet
You'll get there Lee just don't lose interest i wont learn anything at the meets otherwise

 

 

I know exactly how youre feeling mate... I had to take a 5 month "time out" because it was all getting too much. Just sit on it for a while and youre enthusiasm will come back. The better weather helps change your mood along with the lighter evenings.

If you need anything i can help you with, dont hesitate to ask. I know how trying it can be and it seems we're both at similar waypoints in our builds.

Chin up chap

 

Stick them on the bay.

 

Hang in there Lee....you've done a fantastic job to date on this thread . I handed mine in today ......though will be reunited with her in 3 weeks time. Whilst there, I got a chance to see some of the parts up and close...all the ceramic coating had me head spinning! pmsl!

 

Losing interest is not permitted

GET ON WITH IT!!!




I dint blame you for taking 'time out' its enough to make your head spin!!

 

managed to finish off putting rear diff back and cleaned and painted under the arches and done a little bit on the engine got my injectors with carl davey adaptors fitted and also cleaned polished the carb

pic of the carb before cleaning and to show that there are two screws that are sticking out so cut them down pic shows one cut

pic of the manifold i painted blue / silver with black speckles just to be a little different and it almost looks like a flip paint job from different angles





pick of carb on with coil pack and bits here and there





when i get five mins will see if i can get my altonator clean and make a bracket to fit it some how will keep you posted

 

Looks great! Nice and clean, for now!
