Lol, not yet mate. Glad youre excited too

 

That is a work of art!

 

You still dragging this out mate...attention seeking or what

 

Cheers Rick

Dragged it out for 2.5 years now... and im the king of attention seeking

 

Lol looks great mate
It'll defo be worth it looks great

 

Just checked the date this thread was started, nearly 2 years now.

How long has the car been off the road Frayz?

 

Frayz your attention to detail is outstanding keep up the good work! These projects spiral out of control both time/cost wise 400ish is relatevely easy in terms of time/cost when you start to build a subaru and want to acheive a reliable 500+ car you enter a whole new scenario as those on here that have achieved said objective will fully understand my car has been off the road for over a year now and i have spent some serious money and its still not finished but untill its right i will not even attempt to rush or overlook any part of the complexed build! Good luck with your stunning build and i'm sure the time and effort will be well worth it in the end!!! knibby

 

Oi Frayz....will you bloody hurry up! Give me a shout when it's up and running and fully run in....we'll test her out at the pod.....

 

Last driven in August 2008 Neil, so 2 years and 7 months.

Cheers mate, lets hope so.


Not long now mate, first day i get spare... things will happen

 

just had a catch up and your almost there now mate, engine looks great and can't wait to see it back in and running

when do you think it will be up and running fella ??

 

Jobs to do,

Wire air temp sensor for Syvecs
Fit ancillaries and plumb in motor.

Call Mr Roe to come and make it work

Hopefully I wanna turn the key at the end of April

 

It always amazes me how long the todo list is when you're nearly finished. How did you manage to get the crinkle finish on the manifold? The last I read you were talking to a chap who was doing them for Ferrari's but asking a fortune to do the work!

 

Yes mate, i found a chap in Scotland to do it for me.

Im away in Austria snowboarding next week so will put the motor in on my first free day when i return. In the meantime i got a nice little delivery from the guys at Forge Motorsport. Had them make me a custom fuel swirl pot and bracket.
Build quality is very nice, and will be powdercoated satin black to match once complete

 

What capacity and size AN fittings is that Frayz and do you have any contact details (I quite fancy one now you've done all the hard work ).

 

Call or text me tomorrow mate. I'll fill you in

 

Quality piece of kit as always, enjoy boarding and I hope there is enough snow as Europe is struggling this season.

 

looking real good frayz, hope to see it soon on the road.....

 

Off to Mayrhofen mate and they have decent coverage still.

Cheers dude, i'll get well stuck in on my return

FIRE

 

IT

 

UP!

 

Haha

 

Nice, now get to it and put that sucker in there!

 

That motor looks stunning chap !!

The best colour coordination I've seen to date. I don't normally like red in the bay but the balance is spot on mate.

 

Cheers fudgey, its hard striking a balance. Tried to make it look as OEM as possible

 

Make sure you post up a piccy of your engine when complete & I'll knock you up a desktop similar to this.

 

Mmmm pure engine ****!

 

Wow, fudgey thats pretty cool

I'll get some better pics before i drop it in and once its all complete

 

Great desk top
