I thought that it would work well, just a pity the badge won't come off.

Yes and no, yes they've been removed for now as they interfere with the upper grille due to pins at the back of the Dr S202 badge touching one of the horn outer grilles.

No as I was going to sell them but then it occured to me that I only have to use the spacers and bolts that the OE horns mount with, why it didn't occur to me at the time I don't know - it only struck me after I'd left Ryan's garage and was nearly home.

Experience is a great learning tool.

 

Grill looks great

 

That hurts when you skin your knuckles with it!

 

Cheers Glenn.

Ian, there's enough of my DNA left on the car that I'd never have a problem proving it's mine.

The amount of scrapes, marks and cuts I've got on my hands it looks like I've been bare knuckle fighting with the gypsies.

Is that your daaaag?

 

Hi Tyron

I've just read this entire thread, enjoyed your excitement in owning another S202, to then thinking about selling it and back to the enthusiasm of owning one again! Glad you decided to keep it! :-)

I've never been a fan of the Bug Eye, but once I had a test drive in mine I knew I was buying it!

There is something fitted in your car that shouldn't be there. As you have already owned one before you are excluded from providing the answer! :-)


Buck

S202's becoming quite common these days eh?!

 

Thanks Buck, how's Tweeky?

Yes it's been a little bit of a roller coaster ride with this car that's for sure, the car should be ready for remapping before too long and then it'll be time to enjoy it just in time for the show season.

The Bugeye looks certainly grow on you, I think that they are a great car and they are starting to become quite sort after especially the STi models - I'd love an STi wagon as well.

Yes there are a few S202's in the UK now, I'd love a yellow one but I could only find one in Japan but it had all the unique S202 goodies taken off it, it was up for sale for £17k before all the other costs, so it would be at least £25k into the UK.

Plus there was the £8k it needed spending in order to bring it back to standard.

I'll not divulge the discrepancy either.

 

Ive guessed it, the japaneese owner knew tys car was going to a fanny of a driver, so they removed the foam underneath the drivers seat, fitted a fighter pilot style ejector mechanism, but instead with a spare pair of Y-fronts and some moustureising wipes, all powered off the go faster pedal when the ar reaches sub zero speeds in excess of 45mph?!

 

Rob, I've read it twice and I'm still confused.

Keep away from the keyboard when you've been on the shandy tops is all I can say.

 

Just a little addition, really good quality and looks the mutts nuts.



Bargain of the year I found by mistake on eBay.

 

Sniffing sheep dip again?

 

This is looking rather nice now Ty, is she on the road as yet or still in progess

 

Still work in progress Dave, she needs the minor paintwork issues addressed, some minor mechanical jobs and of course a remap for UK fuel.

 

You must earn some wedge matey, you do love a good spend!!!!!!!

 

You can't rush perfection Dave, I will never earn as much as you though.

 

Sheeped! Just bought one too

 

One of the final pieces of the jigsaw arrived today, namely an RCM 340lph fuel pump up replace the Walbro 255lph pump I previously bought.



As you can see they are supplied beautifully packaged, it's almost a shame to open the box.



RCM is like Stella Artois in some respects - reassuringly expensive.

 

What? It drives you nuts, it's expensive and makes you want to fight!

 

Ner ner I got one!

 

Mines already on the car ,been there for 3 months only in pink to match my eyes ner ner ne ner ner.

 

Errr that's Cerise Andy.

 

Knew it wasn,t pink but was dammed if I could think of what colour it really was.Actually why did Subaru ever use cerise on the cars in the first place seems a strange colour for a (mascular) car?

 

Must be having a bad day I mean,t masculine,Think I need a beer

 

Another big job out of the way.

 

That's it, although if you've ever sampled the 'proper' continental Stella Artois you'd never drink the rubbish we're forced to endure over here.

For one thing the real Stella doesn't give you a stinking chemically fuelled hangover.

 

Apologies ty, god only knowes what i was wabbling on about, and youve guessed it, i had a few jars on board, and on a pool night, never drinking brecon brewerys "six nations ale" again, effin' strong tack especially on an empty stomach :-/

 

No problem Rob, you're only a little one and a sniff of the barmaids apron would have you slurring your words.

 

I have, I think, well I think that's what it was. It's a blur really.

 

Because real men can get away with pink and it takes a real man to own an Sti.........

 

Or have one lol.

 

Oh dear! Ha ha ha
