looks good bud , very different from the first pic lol

 

Thanks mags, thought I was happy with the look but now ive got other ideas in my head

 

Just received it back in the post from Ryan all painted and ready to go see frayz to fit in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again Ryan will be using your services again buddy 😉




Martin

 

Looks like a good job. Looking forward to seeing it myself.

 

No worries at all Martin,theses vents are awkward little buggers to paint given its inside and out so it hard to mount stable to stop it blowing around but it turned out nice.

 

Hope you boys had a great time today at Prodrive. After finishing work this is what I did

Gone from this



To this which should be the winter look although I'm not convinced on the look now





Thoughts again welcome guys

Martin

 

I think it looks a lot better with them gold ones on it.

 

Grown on me since yesterday mate but still not convinced. Must add though that the ride quality and handling seems to feel so so much better with the 17's on then the 18's no more crashing over pot holes now

Martin

 

Looks great mate. Good effort.

 

This pic in the light gives a better look as I say they're growing on me and are only going to be used through the winter to preserve the new ones that are coming next week



Martin

 

Black and gold is always a great combo.

 

Cheers frayz same combo as yours? Lol we still on for this Saturday mate?

Martin

 

Flap finally went on yesterday well worth the 9 hour round trip to go see frayz and his mate on my knackered gear box. Must say the lads made me feel so welcome and made the experience of having my roof cut an enjoyable one

Few pics of frayz doing his thing I'm very very pleased now and already the best mod on the car.










Love it frayz, very professional service from frayz and his mate both are true gentlemen

Cheers for looking I will give the car a good scrub and upload fresh pics

Martin

 

You should have put this in the projects section mate so it stays up there .
Car looks great black/black , and as you say the handling is far better on 17" wheels as Subaru intended.
That's why I stayed with my oe alloys but just got them powder coated gloss black.
That's what I think you should do with those gold alloys.

I have the same sickspeed horns but in white,wind deflectors too.

I think the roof flap is awesome mate, well done to Frayz for making the fitment look stock.
I couldn't justify the price @ the moment.

Looks great mate.

 

Love it Martin !

 

Thanks Marty mate, I know what you mean about the cost of the flap although already its the best mod I've got.

This thread was never intended to be a project lol although its defo heading that way. Could a mod move it in the project section? If so who do I contact?

Cheers again for the comments mate

Martin

 

Glad you're happy with it Mart, deffo get it in a project thread. Maybe start a new thread with some recent pics of your mods and just add a link back to this thread for those that want to read it.
That's what I did.

 

Cheers Ryan

Now my gearbox has gone absolutely gutted

Need a 6 speed box a lot sooner then I wanted

Martin

 

looking sweet now mate good work

 

Thanks frayz and thanks again to you two had a good time yesterday and the hospitality was great from you both. Loads of banter

Got the kids so no time to clean it but snapped a few pics

Martin

 

Not cleaned the car but the flap is awsome






Can't thank you enough frayz and Ryan for the paint

Martin

 

looks amazing, cant seem to find a flap for mine

wiley

 

Cheers Wiley bought mine from japanparts mate. Was thinking about a hawk conversion like yours but decided against it. Leaving it a bug but will have the whole front end refreshed

Your car looks

Martin

 

Next will be a jdm 6speed box going in with a few goodies still waiting in the garage to go on

Watch this space......

Martin

 

Guys moved this over to the project section so I can carry on showing the changes my bugs going through

Next up is the jdm 6speed box which should be in tomorrow ill keep the thread up to date to show the new bits that have arrived.

Thanks for all the comments again and thanks to those who have been involved

Martin

 

what clutch are you fitting??

 

Staying with the same 5speed pink box for now mate, funds won't allow to upgrade to the 6speed clutch. Have no plans as yet to break the 400 barrier so will no doubt change it again next year.

Martin

 

Watching

 

Good stuff Martin.

I'd put up a current spec of the as it stands now so we can see it develop as this thread continues

 

I'll ask Lisa to move this into projects and merge the 2 threads.
