Just collected the car,I had forgot how well it goes .
Quality workmanship from Ryan as usual.
Thanks to Alyn at AS Performance for sorting all the parts needed and always giving sound advice.

 

 

The last 6 miles up to where i live are short straights + one long joined by a series of
S bends. Always puts a smile on my face by the time i get home.
Next on the list
All 4 Bilsteins need attn which is dissapointing considering the low mileage i do.
Front brakes need sharpening up.
Rear suspension needs refurb.
Onwards and upwards !!

 

power steering pump has gone noisy now, Happy Days

 

Yeh, it's about time the car came off the road again for a bit more work!


Is it that you don't have driveway space and find it easier to park in Ryans workshop the entire time you own the car?

 

You don't own a Subaru, it owns you.


Like the advert for that ridiculously expensive watch says: you're just looking after it for the next generation.

 

Who are you going to get to do the tracking, Dave?


I've just had Simon at Chevron Motorsport attend to mine following the under body reburb that Ryan did over Christmas. It has totally transformed the car: steering, ride and handling. Top guy!

 

How much is an average tracking set up with a garage?

 

I will probably take it to Chevron. The rear suspension needs a refurb first.

 

You don't want just an average tracking set up,you want a proper geometry set up.

I'm booked in with Peter Cambridge from PCA Dynamics,thats coming in at just shy of £160

 

 

That was what I meant to say, Geometry set up. Many thanks.

 

PCA is a lot closer for me.

 

I have bought some Alcon 365mm brakes to go on the car

 

 

That’s it for a while my moneybox is empty.

 

Cool. Nice brake choice. Heard good things about those.


Your moneybox must be larger than mine! I'd be divorced by now if I'd have spent that much on my Foz!

 

She is very understanding

 

She sounds like a keeper!

 

The Mrs or the car

 

BOTH

 

I am very tempted to get it all done
Bilstein refurb
Brakes fitted
Rear suspension refurb.
Once they are all done that will be it !!

 

You reckon

Only time when you’ll stop is when it’s sold or god forbid buried Dave

I say that'll be it every month but can’t stop doing Sumat or another to the scooby

 

it will never be sold.
Have a read from page 1 see if i have missed doing anything. I will then add it to the list

 

Can't decide whether to go for it or wait?
Here are some teaser shots of what Ryan did on mine to help you decide...

 

Quality workmanship as usual

 

Making a list of what i need to refurb the rear suspension.

adjustable lateral arms.
diff support brace
arb stout mounts.
arb links
hub lower bushes.
outrigger plates and bushes.
the rear subframe will be sandblasted and painted.
rear brake calipers will be painted to match the fronts.
Bilsteins will be refurbished.

what have i missed off ?

 

paint other way, -alcons to match rears,not sure what You have on the rear
im thinking to paint mine or sell them and put ap's

 

The Alcons will be on the front the 2 pot rears are red at the moment .

 

Rear subframe locking bolts? Fitted them to mine, certainly worth doing.

Lower strut bracing bars?
Have you already got updated steering rack mounting bushes fitted? I've got the superpro ones fitted to my FSTI and they are really good.
