We are indeed

Yep looking forward to actually meeting up with you as well Frayz

Bring a mug with you I'll have the tea pot ready to pour

 

Just "do it" when I'm not looking

 

About time you made the tea, just because we have guests

 

Ha ha,

You dont have to make the tea, i'll bring the Jack Daniels.

Besides, im just a pup remember

 

Come on Kev, I'd would'nt worry about having mine done

 

Yeah, come on Kev. Its not like ive not done one before

 

Yeah, come on Kev.

 

just read this thread all the way through
great car mate, cant wait to see the finished product!

 

Cheers Webster.

Looking forward to getting her done

 

Just waiting for Si to pull his finger out and get TWO ordered.

You can run through the process with me on Sat over a cup of tea, bring the JD and we call all have a splash

 

I'm not worried But I just might go for a little walk while Frayz drops the cutter in the roof

 

I can bring the JD or the Dremel.


I wouldnt advise both if you want ithe hole cut straight

 

Now thats a thought!!

 

Well as you know, im kinda stopped waiting on my turbo and some pipework.

Ive spoken with the guys in the US and im assured the turbo is coming out to me within the next few days so i should see it in about 10 days or so. I hope lol. So im not too worried about it, its here when its here ya know.

Ive been sorting other things too, i'll post some more when i receive the parts.

In the meantime. Somthing ive always wanted was a white "Delrin" gearknob. You know the ones you see on the WRC cars. I couldnt find anyone in the UK that made these but found a company in the US that make gearboxes and they agreed to make me one to fit my 6 speed.

Here it is. Dead chuffed with the quality and look. I think it really complements the interior theme well.

 

Looks like a light bulb Better in the flesh I guess.

 

Hi frayz, just joined this forum... OMG! What a stunning bug eye! You have completley changed my view on this shape impreza.. Keep up the good work and I wish I could have the time and patience that you have for a project as large as this!! Would love to see this in the flesh sometime. So far this has been 30 full pages of awesomeness lol!

 

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the read.

Hopefully it will be pretty cool once she's done. And yes maybe one day you'll get to have a look in the metal

 

nice looking motor frayz been reading and watching this thread for a while now.

Just a quick question where did you get your glass beeds from for the blasting of some of your engine parts?

 

What seats are in the car?

Got any pics as they look pretty cool.

 

My drivers seat is a Recaro Pro Racer SPA.

My passenger seat is a stock STI version 7

 

I aquired mine from a mate who had some, but if you google search then you will find plenty of places that sell blast media

 

I am really lovin' the gear ****. They looks very kool.

Just an idea, why not change the passenger seat for an spec c version - the black version - to match the interior as I think the oem blue item looks a little out of place. Unless you have plans, which I am sure you do. Anyway keep up the brilliant work.

 

If i could buy a black version 7 seat mate i would.

However if you compare the version 7 seats to all the other newage seat you will see that all the later seats were the ones designed for the american market and are thus cut much much wider that that of my seats. My seats are similar in cut to that of the classic seats and are quite snug.

The later seats are useles, sloppy and dont look anywhere near as nice mate

Shame, as it would be a nice look.

 

Ohh. I did not know that. That is a real shame sounds like a good excuse for another bucket seat

 

Heres a spec C seat, notice how wide it is

 

I see what you mean. That is a really shame.

But why would Subaru make those spec c seats wider when technically they are only for Japan and, the last time I saw a Japanese they where not fat.

 

Indeed mate i totally agree. I think mine were the last JDM seats they made.

I guess it must be down to cost. Why make 2 seats when they can get away with one. IMO the spec c especially should have snugger seats. For the record, the version 7 spec c had the same seats as mine, also trimmed in blue.

Version 8 onwards all had the wideboy ones

 

Just to throw a seat suggestion in how about a basic wrx passenger seat ? They are bucket and IIRC black in colour... I remember Kev's from his old bugeye wrx and they were quite comfortable in the front.
May be worth a quick look at ?

 

Well you learn something every day.

I suppose you could get them re trimmed in black/grey alcantra?

 

C'mon lads stop spending my money i dont have lol.

Ive an engine to pay for.

If my girlfriend wants her seat black, she can pay for it her bleeding self!
