I adored the Volks mate and still do, but the GT look never really sat with me. I've always been WRC.
After talking with Dave and seeing what he was capable of, it was an opportunity not to be missed. I've found someone that completely understands my attention to detail and obsession to do things right.
He's properly OCD at things being just right and his skills and WRC knowledge is just amazing.
I've always wanted to build it like a real WRC car, so I'll try and get as close as my budget will allow.
Good things are coming.

Volks have now sold so I'm officially "wheel less".
However the APS cooler is still available and can be had with either pipework to suit stock location or rotated turbochargers.

All gone quiet in here for a while. Dave has been in the process of moving premises so the car won't be worked on for a couple of weeks.
Not worried as I'm in no rush.
Lots of cool stuff coming though.

Massive thanks to Damien Bradley and Steven Darley for helping me source probably one o the rarest WRC parts out there for a bugeye.
Genuine Prodrive S8 Tarmac splitter/skid pan in autoclave carbon.
This is the real deal and will suit the car perfectly as it fits right up to the underside of the WRC front bumper. They only made the S8 cars for a year in 2002, then they only had this particular splitter on tarmac events, so there can't be that many of them around.

Pmsl, it certainly wasn't free. If I discussed the money I spent doing the things I enjoy, I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.
Besides, you think I've past worrying about it.

Top man.
As you can see I'm not exactly desperate for it, but do need one. Put it to one side for me please mate and I'll bell you with some monies.

Cheers Mart.
Got a hell of a long way to go on it yet. Hopefully work on it will resume next week after a short period on the back burner while Dave moves units.

There are so many build threads on Subaru forums that start "WRC inspired", but a only a handful out there that really deliver on that promise: this is one of them.
I loved what you did with the car the first time round and this looks to be better still. If I had the money (and the ***** to hack up my car!) this is exactly what I would like to do with my Scoob: I look forward to seeing the finished product!
