Sorry to have interrupted your creative juices earlier, but I'm sure you didn't mind taking my car for a much needed test drive.

I've never seen so much attention to detail, I think it's fair to say that there won't be another Impreza or any other car out there that'll be able to compare to your car once it's completed.

The project is coming on very well indeed and the finishing line is getting nearer all the time.

Today I got the Prodrive diff guard installed along with swapping out the current trailing arms for the adjustable one's.
Next I started making up the pipe work for the fuel temp sensor I'm now going to run seeing as Tim's Toucan has the option for it I figured why not have it running,this has been fitted in the return from swirl pot to tank so it gives the best reading of the actual fuel in the tank after being run through the system,next was making pipe work for the FPR to manifold,Manifold to map sensor,Oil way to oil pressure sensors,Turbo compressor housing to boost solenoid at which point I run out of AN3 pipe so the wastegate to boost solenoid which will have to wait.
I did put the converter onto the wastegate for AN fitting ready though.
It's damn near ready for Tim to come do the wiring,once we get the mil spec connector and I get the hole cut into the bulkhead for it and Tim then does the inside connections at his place it will be systems go for the bling loom !

And on that note I now have to go to a family get together/meal

Bit pf Pro-bolt action on the diff guard,I had to re-make the retaining bracket as the old fixed nuts were M6 not M8 for the pro-bolts.

Nice to see that your making good progress, I do like the Prodrive guard I'll have to see about of one of them for me now.

It won't be too much longer now until your car will be ready for action and can take pride of place behind my car at Rallyday at Castle Combe.

Went down the workshop for a couple of hours this afternoon after half a day in the garden.
Got the down pipe wrapped in DEI titanium being careful to keep all the lockwire coils at the top of the down pipe so they are out of the way for when I'm working under the car,nothing worse than a lockwire stab in the head lol,re-done the turbo to header tank hose as I wasn't happy with how it looked coming over top of the fuel lines,also finished up the wastegate adapter for AN fittings.
Swapped out the throttle body bolts for some pro-bolt action and then fitted the JTInnovations throttle body silicone hose with inbuilt adapter for air temp sensor plus cutting the samco's for the IC ready for the metal master to make the custom IC pipes.

Just keeps getting better, embarrassed that my car will be in the same garage this time next week as yours makes mine seem amateur in comparison
