wiley

 

looking good wiley, job done well!

Ricey

now some of those pics ;0)

 

Expensive, but worth every penny!

Loved it as a Bug, now even better as a Hawk!

 

Soooo much nicer looks the nuts!

 

Great job

 

i'll be doing this conversion soon to, did you run into any problems, other than wiring?

 

i think any decent garage will be able to cut and fit all the new parts. no problems really bud

wiley

 

Wiley,

Did you remove the whole front end or just get a Hawk slam panel?

 

looks good mate job well done

 

Stunning Wiley Another Top Job you've done

I can't afford what you've done but I have just got the STI v10 Centre Console With Hand Brake. Fancy a change on the inside.

Was considering getting the STI Sweeping clocks like in yours but I've heard it's nearly Impossible to get the Mileage Changed! Eprom Programmer or something is needed

Well worth what you spent on yours buddy

Got to keep her now

 

i know a guy breaking his uk sti10. and hes selling his speedo, mileage is around the 50k mark if you are interested

wiley

 

ive got a sti10 centre console too. just need to save up some money to get my whole dash flocked at the same time
and some version 9-10 STi arches


wiley

 

Cheers buddy. Seen afew on here and eBay etc. I'd have one but only if I could change the mileage to what mine is now! I'm aBit of sad ken in that respect. Thanks anyway Wiley! Don't get me wrong, of I saw some going cheap enough and in excellent condition I prob would get em

Phil (oh flock) on here does the flocking. Lives near me in Manchester, he's really good. Nowhere near you like, but good

 

I never even thought about the arches on yours mate. Love your attention to detail n that. Like matching your calipers to your toe hook. Quality

 

Are the dials a straight swap??

 

Kind of mate! The abs light, hand brake and diff lights stay on all the time unless you sort the wiring out with relays etc. that's on the STI Sweeping clocks. V9-10!

 

do you no you need the v9-v10 rear bumper aswel, so the rear arch extensions fit correctly.

andy

 

^^^
You can fit the arch extensions without the bumper, but I will get the ver 9-10 bumper in time.

Wiley

 

I posted a pic of mine like that in the members thread ;0)

Ricey

ps - got your FB message thanks

 

new project in progress as this happened on saturday



the damage





wiley

 

Look bad and very costly Wiley. Hope it's not to bad.

 

S### mate. Hope you get it sorted for not crazy money!

 

I've got a spec made up and will hopefully be completed within 2 weeks (Im impatient lol)

EJ207 semi closed block
JE forged pistons
Carrillo forged conrods
RCM uprated oil pump
ACL Race bearings
V3/4 STi crank
Cosworth timing belt
Cosworth 1.1mm head gaskets
Cosworth head bolts
GT spec headers - heat wrapped
New STi oil cooler modine
CC stage 4 clutch
Apexi AVCR boost controller
Eclipse performance turbo inlet hose
new crank pulleys
exedy lightweight flywheel
NGK iridium spark plugs

That's what I have ready and ordered

I've already got VF34
Hybrid front mount intercooler

550 injectors
Full De-cat exhaust
Simtek

I'm planning to run my turbo/injector setup until I have funds for a bigger turbo
Should be running a safe 350bhp on 1.5 bar boost
Engine will be good for 450-500bhp

I'll keep you guys updated

Wiley

 

Not hanging around are you mate, sold some more dodgy phones

That'll be a stonker when she's run-in

 

That sounds like it will be even more of a beast than before

 

^^^
will be hopefully

first piece of the puzzle
Apexi AVC-R



wiley

 

Are you planning to run to the 450-500 mark on the standard 5-speed

If not is it worth doing the clutch upgrade ahead of a gearbox change, and it's worth speaking to Ricky about Competition Clutch - no end of trouble unless you bend-over and by their full package including the flywheel apparently

 

thanks jon, im not going over 400bhp with my turbo so my 5 speed should handle that.
when i upgrade turbo/injectors, then i will have to probably upgrade to 6 speed

thanks for the advice on clutch, i'll have to speak to ricky soon
