Im finding out my problems are running deeper than first thought.

I cant say on here for now.

 

Doesn't sound good mate!

(It's Sirfozz by the way....on my brothers pc )

 

Whats up Frayz

Your not usually backwards in coming forwards

 

Frayz, I cant quite believe what I'm reading here

Your close to having completed one mighty fine impreza, stick at it.

If its getting you down take some time out, chill for a bit and put it to the back of your mind then come back to it all later when the mind set is refreshed

Take care buddy

 

Its not the car guys, its other people that are letting me down. Its got to the point where i dont know if i want to carry on or not.

Phil, its personal stuff id rather not say on here yet.

 

Hey Frayz, if you need cheering up I will drive over and let you press my anti-lag button. Hope you're ok

 

Is that what u call it nowadays Stu

 

Actually I lied it's a fog light button

 

Chin up Buddy


2 Mins away if ya wanna chat

 

Ok mate

Chin up mate life is toooooo short to worry

 

Hang in there frayz,

Your car is what I'd love mine to be. Head up. It will be worth it.

 

It does sound very much like your mind is made up. I've been there done that...not as huge project as yours but....and I did end up breaking mine.....still regret and wonder what it would be like on the road....

Haroon.

 

Hi frayz, only just read about your project on the thread, have been away for a while since owning a VW, back now with another Scoob so its Scoobynet again in my lunch hour! Stick with the project, youve got this far, to turn back now would be crazy, youve bulit an absolutely stunning Scoob and have kept us lot entertained with updates of the project from the beginning. Id love to have the time and money to do a project like yours, alot of people would think whats the point but you can tell from reading this entire thread that you get a buzz from doing this build. Yeah, you have had a set back from parts being unavailable (over a year for a set of coilovers is a sick joke) but your get there in the end. Take a bit of time out and crack on with it when the parts turn up.

Keep us updated.

M.

 

As others have said, chin up. Don't let other people get to you, it not worth it and life is too dam short to worry about things like that.

 

Well ive sorted a few things and hopefully it will be sticking around. Ive swapped some things about and located a crank elsewhere. I should have a brand new EJ257 crank at my door first thing in the morning.

So with that said it looks like i'll be at least starting the bottom end assembly as soon as i get a spare minute.

Also got a few other parts today, i'll post some pics later.

This is a somewhat happier me

 

Glad to hear it mate. Keep up the good work, many on here love to read what's the latest mod.

 

I'll second that

 

I'll third it.

Hang in there, it'll all come together in the end.

 

OMG this thread has read like a novel, sweat, tears a near break up at the end and what looks like a happy ending! \o/
Hats off to you m8, fantastic work throughout.

 

I am intrigued with the suspension mate

Are you going for something bespoke?

 

Yes mate it was a bespoke setup, with an all new design.

 

I guess these things do take their time then

 

Indeed mate, blood, sweat, tears by the bucketload...

Ive been to hell and back with this project and 99% of it as been alone

 

Drama queen....

My car took 12 months to get to where I am now, with numerous delays for parts...

It's just the way it is, and modifying cars whatever the marque, can be frustrating..

 

It wasnt the parts so much mate.. it was people letting me down that was getting to me.

Parts i can get anywhere... friends dont come by so easy.

 

Also got a few other parts today,

ARP stud/nut kit


New clutch release and spigot bearings


RCM Modified oil pump


Fuelab billet fuel filter with -6an fittings


Genuine Subaru piston rings


Power Enterprises kevlar timing belt


Also picked up some new rocker cover gaskets today too. Still waiting on a fair few more parts but at least the list of "things to buy" is slowly getting smaller lol.

glad to hear it is all coming together frayz you got a great car an would have been ashame to see you get rid mate

 

Fair enough m8.

I can guarantee though, that once you get on the road in forged 2.5 power, you'll be grinning like the proverbial cheshire cat..

 

I hope so mate... the green has an optional larger exhaust housing that is bigger than the largest currently available for the 321T so should make a bit more power than the T.

We all know that the T is pretty damn good too
