Lol! Deffo no engine mods on the cards 'yet'

You have a JDM aswell mate? Supposed to be a cracking weekend, perfect for a spot of cleaning

 

Looking lovely mate, a nice set of defis in an ati pod would finish off the interior nicely.

 

Nice and Clean

 

That's some nice attention to details mate. Liking this project.

Keep em coming.

 

Nah mate mines just a common as muck type uk lol, I just meant looks in general, wr blue, black rims, black front lower lip and the blue flaps.

Mick

 

Cheers again guys!

Got a couple more bits today....

Set of McGuard locking wheel nuts (not cheap but well worth it.) unfortunately the wheel nut recess on the pro races don't allow access for the standard subaru locking nuts, so I had to change!

Pair of front pioneer TS-G1322I speakers, plus the adapters. I'm sure your all aware of how poor the standard speakers are in subarus. I'm not after anything mega high-end, but any improvement on the standard setup has got to be good. Will have full pics of the fitting tomorrow for anyone that's thinking of upgrading and is after a 'how to' type guide!!

 

Hi mate. I have a jdm sti and have the same problem with the stereo losing signal. Which wires did you join. Also what size are your wheels and what et are they. Thanks

 

Loving the OCD attention to detail! Threads like this are great as they deal with simpler aspects of modifying that we can undertake at home.

 

Hi mate. If you take a look on page 1 of the thread, theres a close up pic of the wires that you need to join together. They should already have the joiners on, you simply just push them together! The wire is blue / white striped.

Thanks! I'm trying to keep the thread simple / realistic to the majority of people. Nowt wrong with big-power build threads etc, but I think a lot of the time, normal, everyday bits and bobs and issues aren't covered in a project thread.

 

What did you use to get the engine bay so clean?

 

Hey guys,

Not too much progress lately as I've been busy at work this week. Got home today and had a new set of number plates waiting for. Wanted some nice custom plates! Will put some fitted pics up tomorrow.......

 

Hi. Your car is lookIng very nice. What et/offset are your wheels.

 

Loving this still so fresh and clean. What would have looked better just my opinion the rear fog surround would have looked more Jdm painted the wrblue . It dose look good there like .

 

Cheers mate. Alloys are 18". ET45. 8" wide. 5x100

I thought about going for the wr blue, but there was a good chance I would have messed up the spraying, so I went for black purely as a safety precaution lol!!

 

Hey guys,

Got a long weekend off work and its been a beautiful day so I cracked on with a few bits.

Main one was getting the new speakers in. Door cards were extremely easy to remove, just a couple of easily accessible screws and then prise the doorcard off. fitting the speakers was a Pretty simple job but I had to drill the adapters for them to fit. Once I had drilled the holes, I realised that bolting them on would be a bit of an issue as the new holes were very close to the wall of the adapter.




Once the bolt had gone through the door and then through the new hole, it was impossible to turn the nut because of the clearance issue. So, the solution was to place the nut over the hole, and then screw the bolt from the inside of the door panel outwards. The end result.....






I also done a few menial jobs. Big meet tomorrow night for the ESOC. The scoob will be lined up facing evos, so its gotta look its best lol!!! Took the wheels off and gave the inside a once over!



Also cleaned the inside. Tomorrow will be spent cleaning the car. I have been recommended 'Mer' products by a few folk now, so purchased some today. Anyone used it before? By the way, I haven't got a thumb missing, it's just the angle of the photo lol!!

 

Have a good one tomorrow night. Don't forget some pictures of the event.

By the way, any pictures of the original speakers? There was no way to fit the uprated speakers to the original adaptors? If there were any adaptors in the first place?

 

Hey folks, been pretty busy at work over the last few months so haven't had much done to the scoob, however, I've recently added a few small bits and had the car lowered. There's a pic below that I took quickly today, but the car will be getting properly cleaned tomorrow. Here's what's been done......

Richbrook black 6-speed gearknob (very OEM looking. Pics to follow)
Black wheel nuts (the chrome ones didn't look right)
Finally had it lowered! I think the car sits perfectly and it hasn't ruined the ride!

 

Very very clean!

Are you happy with the speakers? I looked at those but my bugeye has tweeters near the door handles so I was thinking of getting something to replace those along with larger 16.5cm speakers.

 

Speakers made a world of difference in quality mate (although that's not difficult when comparing them to the standard items!). Would deffo recommend them to anyone, plus they weren't too expensive either.

 

I have same speakers too and they are loads better than standard and not too expensive, on another note I thought after the bugs jdms weren't forged? Looks really good mate I'm going to up my game on the cleaning front!

 

The pistons in the twin scrolls are hypereutectic. Not true forged items but more than adequate for biggish power.

 

Quick update,

New richbrook gearknob fitted, spec c black dash on the way, hopefully be here before the weekend!

 

Some lovely details on this Pete. Nice work

 

I've just bought the same **** for my S202 to replace the gash JDM one someone put on my car

Has a lovely weight and feel, can't wait to stir the box with it

 

Cheers Frayz. Looking forward to getting the roof vent in!

Yep agreed. Looks pretty OEM too In my opinion. Some pretty horrid gearknobs out there mate! I don't know what possesses some folk to put certain gearknobs on!

 

Nice motor mate its giving me inspiration tomsort myne out with a few niggles ive got! What sort of quality are those ht auto splitters btw cheers

Chris

 

I'm loving the attention to detail

Looking excellent

Quick update!

I've decided that I fancy going back to a classic so I'm looking to swap my JDM. Please see the 'for sale' section for more details

 

Really good looking car mate, you're keeping it very clean!
