Frayz fair play to you mate, when i started reading this post about 694 million hours ago and saw a pic of a cossie and ....

"Well at the tender age of 21 after owning my Ford sierra sapphire cosworth for 2 years it was time to move on"

I thought oh here we go some little chav whose giving it large, the cossie was probably his mates or something and this thread is going to be about him f**king up a scoob but oh how i was wrong!

I can see all the hard work and determination you've put in and can imagine how hard you've been working at work to finance the project!

Cant wait to see the final project and see all the vids, keep up the hard work mate

Jonny

p.s can i have a go on your jet-ski

Lol, probably the first time ive been called a chav , but hey theres a first for everything ha ha.
Cheers for the props fella, it has been a mamoth amount of work and its still ongoing. I still find myself lusting over cossies and the like but this is my project and its this that i have thrown so much blood, sweat and tears into its untrue.

The jetski took me just under a year to spec, and build. Nothing compared to doing and financing this bleedin thing though lol.

Get down to Essex and im sure we could hook you up a go on the ski

The cosworth must carry some sort of bug with it too, my mate had one and spent a fortune on it, everything was replaced and upgraded on it and the engine bay was immaculate he sold it and bought a bugeye same as you. That was modified and messed about with then he got bored of it and sold that.

He just has a run around for work now but all he goes on about is cosworths and how he wants another one, i think it's only a matter of time before one appears on his drive!

Anyway, i think we all need another update on your Impreza gx

they do have some dubious pricing levels don't they? i'm sure they pick a number at random, double it, put a nought on the end and then tag on some other charges for the hell of it. *****.

sorry, went into rant mode there! you wouldn't guess i've just been stung myself would you?

so there's a lorry somewhere missing a whacking great turbo is there frayz?

I think they were pretty limited to how much and what they could declare it as.

Still not enjoying the £186 size opening in my anus at the moment

Because unlike some, i am affected massively by the global economic situation and £180 is better spent elsewhere mate.

If you have that down the back of your sofa then feel free to contribute to the cause

Well consignment one is here, another should be here tomorrow.

Pleased with this and am now aware of the huge job in hand in order to make it fit and fit properly. The carbon cone fits beautifully, couldnt help but rest it in place

I have a dummy uppipe fitted and a dummy downpipe coming that will need to be modifed to fit the RHD setup. Its gonna be a pain but worth it in the end i hope.

One all the bits are here i can make a start at getting it bolted up to teh existing 2ltr, where i can check, check and check again that everything fits properly. This assembly will then be dropped back into the car so i can again check that it all fits as perfectly as possible, along with the external wastegate setup.

Once im happy, and only then will it all be taken off and sent for making properly and ceramic coating. Then the 2.5 will be put together.

But heres some long overdue pics guys, i know ive deprived you all recently.
