So after searching for a prodrive bumper for my bugeye, 112 pages and 3335 posts later I must say that's one fine machine you have built frayz. Probably the best project thread I've read due to the level of detail and how you've chronicled your car over the years.

Good job

As you know the bombers been tucked away for winter for the last few months. She'll be back out next spring. Hopefully going to be doing more of the Pistonheads and Petrolhead Nirvana stuff next year.

Hope you all have a great Xmas break and a happy new year.

I know I've always recommended Alyn @ AS Performance but it seriously always amazes me at the level of service I get.

I call him last knockings yesterday for some oil. I hadn't spoken to him for some time as the Bombers been wrapped up all winter so I've not needed anything.
I get the same old friendly chat and helpful Alyn as always.

9:30am this morning the oil arrives!
Just amazing levels of customer service that has never faltered once in 9 years of Subaru ownership.

This is the BEST customer service in the automotive industry bar none!

Frayz, what did that exhaust set you back (specifically the backbox if you know)?

Cheers

Turbo back system custom made by Simpson Race Exhaust was £1600.
Sure they would make you a back box for about £500

Mega lightweight thinwall stainless system with 2 repackable race boxes and only 91.5db @ 4500rpm. It's very quiet.

She's in desperate need of a serious paint correction but I'll be going to the Prodrive day next weekend if any of you are heading that way.
