Just wow...
It started out as me looking for prodrive fog light covers for a USDM 03 WRX...
2 Threads and a created account later I am at the edge of my seat to see this car finished.
I read from the beginnings of "I want to keep it OEM."
to
"This is my vinyl wrap and rally helmet holder and no back seats."
I read through the giddy first beginnings, to the sad trust breaking of friends.
There is a quote somewhere in there (paraphrasing) "I can get parts anywhere, but when a friend lets me down its irreplaceable"
I am following this car till it breathes its last breath. Then I will stalk the guy Frayz sells it to.
I was there for the
"Frayz-Engineering Prodrive Edition V7 STi. The T26 WRC build thread"
NEVER FORGET!

Wow man, just wow.
I never thought anyone would have followed the rollercoaster ride of my car from so far back. Im really touched that you have read all of it and followed the build.
I am helping a friend with some fuel rails at the moment and working all hours god sends with my day job. But a big update will be coming soon i promise you guys i wont let you go without.
Cheers for the post Bertio

One of the craziest part has been reading the...
"...Oh yeah guys picked up my X from the powdercoater"
"...Just picked up Y from the powdercoater"
"...Was able to get back Z from the powdercoater"
Meanwhile im in my head doing the $$$ calculations and its crazy!
Frayz you financially owe it to yourself to finish this car. Think of it as $20,000 of stress therapy.
(please do not make a joke about how far I am off at $20,000 it will scare me)
In all seriousness take your sweet time, life is about priorities and for all I know you are bouncing a child on your knee or rolling around in the hay with a GIRL! I am sure you are good at putting your priorities in order 8D

Lol, dont even start with how much this has cost me lol.
Im still only 27 and on a normal wage so its one of the main reasons its all taken so long. Oh and im a stickler for details lol.
It will be done soon though. Currently enjoying my new daily drive far more than i should. The new daily whip is a Clio 182 and i cant get enough of how much fun it is lol.
Dont fret guys, i will update you all soon

Fouls on so much Daz, i think its gonna be a complete new pipe. Also wasnt aware that i had to ditch the clutch hardlines for braided. Cheers to Steven for the heads up regarding that.
