Its much easier/quicker with thinners and a rag to remove the residue.

Finally finished off the sound deadening, Pauls work yesterday and I finished off the boot today. Also weighed the bag of deadening material that we actually managed to get in the bag anyway, it excludes the bulkhead matt material @ 9.6kg

Well I was back on it today as we had better weather.

Started with painting





Then moved under the bonnet, fitting a PAS pump, defi oil pressure sender & alternator belt





Then fitting the intercooler core and lower pipes and trial fitting the bumper, after a bit of cutting it goes on okay. Will fit properly at a later date.






And finally I started trial fitting the alloy rad, this was for a Legacy I think so a little bit of work to do with that

9.00am start today when Paul arrived and a good bit done, however we had 2 Impreza visitors toady, one for a change of ARB and another for a rear diff which slowed us down a little

Anyway a few more pics for you -

Paul likes the attention



On with the new boot we picked up yesterday



I made up some new brake pipe for the fronts as old ones had been cut



And Paul modded the fans on the rad to make sure they did not foul the headers



Rad in



Set of Lateral modded injectors in



And APS 3.5" downpipe on



And then it got dark

Didn't have a great deal of time on it today so just done a few little jobs. Thought I had better take out the fuel pump to make sure these was a Walbro in there, even though in it's previous life this car was running biggish power all I found was the standard pump ! Damn sold one not that long ago Then got on to doing some wiring under the dash to sort out the mess from a ripped out turbo timer.

Under the bonnet I connected a few things up and found I am missing an ignition amplifier

Fitted the fuel filter, there was no bracket so I whipped that off the car I am going to break Can't remember which pipes go where though on the fuel system.

Also sorted the holes to bolt the rear of the cage in, needs 2 people to get them bolted tight though

Few pics -

Cant believe you've painted the inside with a fecking brush!!!

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

lol method to my madness, brush first followed by rattle cans, will look fine

dazdavies

Thank gawd for that, disaster narrowly averted!!

Mad Hammer

I'm sure for what your building it for the brush on the interior will be just fine Its getting further forward now.

Mad Hammer

Yes mate, coming along. Finding time is the hard part tbh. It's the little jobs that take forever, spent ages making brake pipes for it Sat morning and fitting the rad. You think something is easy and it takes hours ! Still, I reckon on finishing it for end Feb ready to be mapped. Fingers crossed.

The jobsa may be easy but you don't work on the car often so getting motivated to work on something you rarely used is really hard

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

I have never used this one

Mad Hammer

Got the bumper on this afternoon

First popped crystal indicators in



Fitted a cold air feed pipe



Made the hole in the inner wing bigger and used some old door seal to finish



Bumper on ..... eventually



Cold air feed



And my mate popped round in my old Wagon for a new air vent to replace the nasty mini scoop he had on. Not only has this car had the facelift treatment it also now has a RCM400 Garrett turbo which I fitted before it went, was mapped by Zen recently and really goes exceptionally well May be for sale again soon as my mate has now decided to go travelling for a year !

And todays progress -

Bits of dash, instrument cluster and wheel





The new brakes, 6 pot compbrake set up from Paul at Zen. Discs are knackered but I have some AP's and compbrake bells already





Then I got the fast car out of the garage to prepare for a visit to Scoobyclinic on Thursday. I will be testing their new 35R Billet turbo back to back with my current 35R. So on with some road wheels ready for the dyno

stevebt

iTrader: (8)

Where is the fast car you mention as all I can see id your blue car ?

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

Perhaps I should refer to it as faster than stevebt's car

Had a day off today so got a little time on the car

AVC-R wired up





Bonnet vents on that I picked up this week




Rear wiper motor removed

stevebt

How did the mapping go today??? and is it a far better turbo?

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

Was yesterday mate, see the Billet thread https://www.scoobynet.com/trader-ann...-better-7.html

Headline number here though

stevebt

I see you have your figures in your profile already I doubt I will have a graph this month as I think mine is getting tweaked on the road. I have dynolicious on my iphone so me and you can compare figures thru that as I wil put it in both cars for a laugh if you want??

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

Sounds fun what is this new technology you speak of ? Not fallen in to the iphone trap as yet

stevebt

iTrader: (8)

It registers bhp,1/4 mile and a few other things. It's more of a laugh but we can compare them to proper figures. If paul maps on the dyno before 30-130 I will have a figure to go from as well Are you taking me for a passenger ride? I only have one harness in mine so if you want a passenger ride in mine you wear a seatbelt

Don't ever do it as they are crap, they are a good toy/gadget but a crap phone. My proper phone is an HTC and its as good as any house phone. We will swap the iphone between the cars for a laugh I want to put it in the bannana But there is a good chance steven will have done a vbox reading in my car before 30-130 as he has just bought one and its either mine or marks he is going to play with

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

Will get a passenger seat and harness in mine before the event mate, happy to take you for a run or two pal

stevebt

iTrader: (8)

Are you running track or road tyres??? I'm unsure as to fit my 17's with r888's Steven said take both but that means hassling him/others to changes the wheels as if I have to change them it will involve phoning the RAC

Mad Hammer

iTrader: (55)

Will run my track rubber if dry, I have some road rubber now if wet.
