Gutted you have to sell mate I saw it a few times mid build and it looked awesome! Good luck with the sale

 

gutted myself mate..... car is sold already, new owner picks it up tomorrow

 

Glad you have managed to sell quickly as you wanted, shame it isnt to me.

 

Come on JD that car you would have to drive all year round.....

Surely you would miss the civic in the winter !!

 

i'm sure its going to a very good home.

 

i'm sure it is too arf

steve, thanks mate....am sure alan and martyn could make urs the same no problem, just hand him a blank cheque

 

And your first born son...

 

well what a drive home that was,i must say the car drives nothing like i thought it would.i was expecting it to be a right handfull but its so smooth and easy to drive its like it just rolled out of the showroom.to make a car with that much power and drive as it does is an achievement in its self.just want to say a very big thanks to scott for his cooperation over the last few days,top bloke.

 

how much in fuel??? bet you couldn't resist booting it

 

just spotted this

Tim

 

cost me £90 in fuel to get her home but it was worth every penny.70mph all the way mate.

 

after your lttle sideways action the other week at the side of me tim i thought i needed i car with a bit more power to get out of your way.

 

how true

 

good to meet you today mate, and i have to say although i was gutted to see the car go, i am pleased it has gone to a good home where it will be driven as its intended

cant agree more with you on how it drives, and to be fair, all the credit for that has to go to alan and the team at enginetuner for bringing it all together,especially martyn for the job on mapping....top blokes and if i ever venture back into subaru waters again in the future, it is the only place my car will be heading.....

enjoy the new toy mate, remember u can flick the switch and use the 2bar map as well, although wont be much will touch it with the 1.5 bar map

 

dont worry matey it dint take me long to have that switch flicked over to 2 bar.

 

scott, glad to see your motors found a good home. id have loved it should i have found the money

bigarf....giz a go

 

 

Very happy to see the car with another real enthusiast!
The project was certainly an interesting one, starting out with a bare block and finishing with a major rebuild. Amongst the highlights were working out which parts were missing when it arrived, and sourcing a whole stack of the little bits that someone had previously discarded, like the engine loom, sensors, brackets all over and a whole box of fittings and bolts. The details would fill several pages! There is half of the Cosworth parts catalogue in there as well.
Plus of course I had to learn a new language to figure out what Scott actually wanted. It turns out he wanted a new rear mirror, a bumper respray and a service, but got a 630 bhp make over instead. Oh well...

 

haha i know what you mean about the language differance,me being broad yorkshire i was struggling myself but we got there in the end.i have spent the morning swapping over a few of my bits from mine,wheels,splitter and so on and i'm just loving it more and more everytime i use it.this car is a real credit to alan jeffreys and whoever has worked on it.i took my brother for a little spin in it last night and he went all pail faced for some reason.just out of interest,what do you think the difference would be running a 20% meth map.?

 

lucky sod is all I can say.

 

I dare say Martyn would know better than I would, but I'd say 650bhp straight off. Go steady now!

 

after a power increase already?? lol

if u are getting it mapped again, it would be worth getting the car down to let martyn do the business once again, or pay for him to have a hol up to yorkshire mate

 

ru sure it was just half the cosworth catalogue alan must have missed the other half or that would have been on there too once u'd done ur sales pitch on me

 

I thought it was actually like persuading an alcoholic into a bar !

 

 

no,not doing nothing to it power wise yet mate,a few cosmetic changes but other than that just enjoying every minute of it.

 

Like it! lol

 

Edited for accuracy!



Scott sorry to see you sold it mate but needs must and i saw your good news on facebook mate.

 

cheers mate.....

alan, u r indeed right...hardly a difficult customer for u, was more like the churchill dog nodding in agreement to every suggested mod
