Just read from start to finish what a journey you been on mate car looks awesome can't wait to see the finished result hope everything goes well mapping you deserve a bit of luck
thanks mate, cheers for taking the time and going all the way through the thread. first track day is hopefully cadwell on the 8th april then Anglesey on the 24th. time for some fun finally
Another quick update. having to buy 2 new front wings, the caster mods i have done have pushed the wheels rite forward. so the wheels are catching the arches when i turn. bit of a nightmare but one of those things i guess
So Andy split the old engine today and found why it blew or a possible cause. The guy who built it for me before fitted a huge 15mm oil pump on which is to big and the relief valve stuck. Also I was told the heads were spec c and had been ported and polished. In fact they were standard UK heads. And are fooked! So luckily andy has a set of UK heads which will have to go on for now
Stripped out 1.3 turbo.. haha.. it is very good on fuel a lot better than the blob will be that's for sure. And so much fun factor soon as it comes on boost it just goes mental all the way to 8k
Looks like a nice little motor. Did you get a good deal on it?
Yeah needs a bit of tlc and paint. Couldn't believe how much these have gone up in value. One of this spec is 6-7k now. It has not one bit of rust on it and 148km on clock. Was going to do it up a bit then sell on. But after this weekend may keep it so much fun
Yeah mate Td04 turbo. Cooked the brakes at the weekend
That's not difficult to do though!
You need a levin 111 set up on there tbh. I was chasing my mate in his 500hp impreza in mine, all going well until the last few corners when. I hit the brakes and nothing happened! The discs were glowing lol

Yeah mate I was chasing my mate in his 320bhp jdm blob. Straights wernt a problem. In the corners back end is so loose cant keep up
They never did a turbo 4wd version. A few conversions rolling around now though....
Ahh didn't know that. What have you done to help with the back end? I'm thinking of taking it to Cadwell on 4th of April as Scooby won't be mapped by then

I fitted trd anti roll bars and anti lift kits. You will always struggle with the back end due to the weight of it! I can lift the back end up by hand lol.
