very nice

 

looks cracking especially the bloated arches from the top view

 

Don't want to highjack your thread but here are a few pics of mine. New wheels on now though.





All the stuff I have done is underneath so can't see it but it makes a big difference.

 

We just done a mates roof on a white classic at the weekend and looked great! Got the material from Carbon Vinyl

 

Took half a day hol today as my friends garage was quiet si got to use the ramp and power tools so thought I might aswell get the coilovers on!....



Not sat as low as I hoped but still needs adjusting...





Plus fitted the new facelift grill and type ra badge...



Drew

 

looking good!!

 

Front arches finally fitted today, along with the p1 lip and home made splitter! Wasn't too sure re the splitter but really like it now it's fitted...

 

Liking that Drew,good work mate

 

Thats well nice m8, good job.

 

liking the pinstripe in the grille

 

looks really purposeful...will you have to add support ties for the splitter...I can imagine it will deform at speed?

 

Thats my worry too, am hoping not as held with 12 10mm bolts and washers all the way round but will find out soon!

 

Finally got all the arches fitted today and managed to get the tyres fitted to the new wheels and couldn't resist getting them on the car...

Pic to show how wide they are with arches off...





With all arches on...



Quickly sat the spoiler on and rear lights in to see how it will look as still waiting on the light trims from the paint shop...



Drew

 

perhaps worth looking at the TA cars alot of them have similar splitters...i hope it holds

 

looking good, but is the front arch on the right side?

 

After a set of Alcon callipers with 2 peice Godspeed discs and ferrodo pads fell into my lap for a very very reasonable amount, I decided to sell the ap's and put the difference back into the project as am trying to keep costs minimal.

Calipers and bells were looking a bit sorry for them selves...





I decided to have a go at giving them a make over. Now I know these may not be to everybodys liking but love the look of red calipers just as my ap's where, so out came the red paint...



And the rotors done in silver...



Then re did the prodrive logos in white with a blue line...





I really like them!...

Drew

 

brakes are looking good

 

Bonnet pins fitted tonight...





Plus lads came to carbon wrap the roof...



All done, rubbish pics sorry...







Also had the lip of the v6 spoiler done aka P1 style, but not sure if it will stay...



Drew

 

Should stay as long as they used 3m primer (which they probably didn't)... How much did they charge you out of curiosity?

 

Sorry, I meant stay as in can't decide if I like it or not so may be coming off.

 

Ahh i get ya... think it looks quite good

 

Looks excellent ! Keep up the good work

How did you do the pin stripe in grille ?

 

What a turn around, well done.

 

The cheap wrc style seats I got turned out to not be suitable and when I was offered this cobra seat for £40, I snapped his hand off. It will put me on till I order a new pair of cobras.

To keep costs down again I decided to knock up a pair if subframes to suit myself and just utilise the existing subaru sliders, after some measuring, drilling, cutting and swearing it's in plus the harness ...



Then the brakes, added some braided lines all round too and changed the fluid...



With wheels back on...



Also got the front and rear whiteline arbs fitted and rear drop links.

Tomorrows job, RCM headers and uppipe, spoiler on, then just the door cards and dash to rebuild!

Drew

 

you got any good pics of the roof? got the wrap ready to do mine just wondering if i'll like it.

 

Will post some once the cars finished, hard to get a good photo in my unit.

 

cool. car looks awsome by the way

 

Good progress today...

RCM headers and uppipe on, 22b bonnet vents fitted, ominous directional splitter tie bars installed, plus even had time to service it.

Here's some teaser pics...









I am really pleased with it, looks so menacing!

Drew

 

Looking v. nice Drew any side pics

 

They must be, mine looks the same and ABW fitted them for me.
