Update time.
I've paused work on the car for the last few months as I've been focussing on finishing my other Impreza for this summer - I utilised the original 4-door Classic bodyshell for this, which is like new with very little mileage (3270km from new). That'll be predominantly a road car (as much as a road car can be with a dog-box) but the focus will be on a street-sleeper. I'll also be aiming for a ten-second quarter in it, but more on that soon.
Before I stopped work I got the track car shell to a stage where it's pretty much ready to paint so I can pick up the project again soon. All the panels are in primer, as is the rest of it. Pics...
Inner rear arch fabrication
Arch bonded on
Shell in primer
I've also been gathering bits for it over the past few months - EJ22T blocks and Ric Wood CNC ported AVCS heads with Cosworth +1mm inlet and exhaust valves, double valve springs and ti retainers

Looks a cracking project
got to love this though.......
"It's not an open wallet project...."
first post:
"The car came with a broken dog 'box so I bought a 5-speed PPG straight-cut dog 'box from Paul at Zen, complete with Modena centre diff and straight-cut billet drop gears. So far so good."
Hahaha....makes me feel very poor

Hello mate, I never got your email - I wasn't being rude I promise! Got it sorted now thanks though fella, decided on flipping the intercooler so made a new pipe-run.

Few pics of the four-door sleeper...it's nearing completion. Had it running last night, got to sort a water leak from what looks like the turbo area which I'll look into tonight.
Will be ready for mapping in a few weeks, got the boost pipes welded by Forge since this pic was taken, managed to squeeze 3" pipes under the headlights...all fitted properly now. Good times.
Should stop hopefully too

Big thanks to Tiley Developments in Bristol for bolting the engine together and being a general source of advice!
Mapping not too far off...then time to run it in quickly and go smoke some Lambos. Will be getting it mapped with meth and will be looking for something starting with a six power-wise if I'm lucky!

You may require either some Lateral Performance modified and flowmatched 900cc injectors, or a top feed rail conversion and some Injector Dynamics 1100cc injectors.
Best of luck with the builds, they both look very interesting.

Just a small observation Rich, you may find you run out of injectors long before you get to 600bhp with your current fuel system, even more so when you add meth.

SimTek fitting and running-in map booked for the 6th July, then it'll be time to cover 1000 miles before going back for a final map on 10% meth
