Ive got 100pcd Tein Circuit master's and I've already just purchased brand new 100pcd hubs, using spec c frame and spec c arms though to give me more castor. Maybe 1 day when the tein's die and I buy some AST's

going to keep as is for the moment, I think 350-360 will be enough to keep me ticking over and need to stop firing loads of cash at it.

Considered selling the whole lot to be honest as I'm getting that little bit closer to finally buying a house, my daily is a 335d and although an awesome car it just doesn't give you same buzz as the Type R and that will be getting sold instead much to the miss's disappointment lol

You can't sell now, you'd never forgive yourself

What ECU are you planning on using?

I couldn't let somebody else finish it.

Alcatek, although I have a Tomei ecu that I just cant shift. Might use that to get it up and running to begin with.

Rear coilovers all rebuilt





Pulled out the corner of the garage





Went to realign doors and realised how grose the original door hinges looked, so doors off and back down the powder coaters





Can't wait to start putting it back together 😊

Best Impreza combination Glad you've dragged it out of the corner, I see this every time I'm at Car and Custom and it looks lovely.
