Is that VHT crinkle paint? As looks a nicer brighter colour than the last time I used it. Looking good the only thing missing is a bigger turbo.

A bigger turbo is definitely being considered
but I don't know yet if it will be fitted just prior to mapping or after the engine has had some miles put on it after the summer.

Ty, you are going to end up with one very special Subaru. Top class effort to you and the engine pixie/stig.

She Lives
I arrived just in time this evening to hear the engine running for the first time and it sounds as sweet as a nut.
Just some final finishing touches and a clean, then I can begin running her in.
I can't wait to get the running in process over and then...

Cheers Merv, I've decided on which turbo - the question is when do I get it?

I'm planning a run down to West Wales, up the coast to Aberystwyth and back through Mid Wales so I'll pop in on my way back.

That's the plan Calvin, but not sure yet if funds will allow it yet.
