yeah those would definitely help too

 

So waiting for some bits ti turn up and again.... I haven't been about to just leave the old girl alone.

Started playing with the intercooler pipe work. Because of the blue fittings on the fuel lines and headers tank I decided to accent them with titanium pipe work.

All chopped and a test fit once it's all tacked up.





Then a bit of heat before welding to colour it...





Oh.....

And this happened.

 

The pipe work really Look's Very High Quality,both your projects really make for a good read.SJ.

 

Cheers chap.

Finally got pipe one done. Started work on the bigger rims too.

One down, one to go...






Wheels. 18x10 ET12 with a future 25mm added on for good measure.

New colour; but first a big mess!



Then it started raining so had to bring them in for a bit



Woop done.

 

Nice colour!

 

Subscribed

 

Cheers guys,

Just a quick few of the other pipe now all done. I have to say now the ti is blue like the fittings the red wastegate is really bugging me....







So started getting the shape together for the rear arches. A teaser of things to come....

 

That pipework is a work of art

 

Agreed, that titanium looks stunning!!!

 

Impressive work

 

Right. Scoob is leaving the workshop tomorrow to go home as I'm taking some time off work for a bit and it will give me something to keep me occupied

I have started really chomping away at the inner arches now to suite new wide arches. I've also a ordered a couple of bits off ABW that will need to be modded a bit to suite the wide arch width. Becuase everyone needs wide body impreza in their lives.

Also ordered a few guages that turned up this morning.

Oil pressure
Boost pressure
Air/fuel
Oil temp
Water temp
Exhaust temp

Also a dash pod to suite. Once these bits are in and body is done I'm going to do the loom and get it mapped.

 

Well. Can went on a transporter yesterday and found its way home so I could get cracking with the body. I hadn't finished the 2nd two wheel yet hence the yellow ones

On the transporter and off she goes:



Hour later and the old girl is home; lots to do:



That was yesterday. Being off today I started setting about the arch work. There is a bit of shaping to do and I'm. Waiting on some bits from ABW.

First off. 18x10s all round.



The some arches

 

 

Is there anything you can't do.. looks great!

 

Thanks dude. I did try and cook a chicken once with my mind..... that didn't work out too well

 

Looks great mate, what are your plans for the bottoms of the front arches?

 

Got some ABW bits on route that will be modded accordingly to suite the arches.

 

I look forward to seeing it come together mate, very impressed with it all so far

 

Chipping away at the tasks left to do. Test fitted the guages to make sure I can see them all from the old drivers seat. Good news yes I can. So once the body is completed I'll plumb all these in when I do the Syvecs.



Got the ABW bits. Front splitter and skirts. Both had to be modified to suite the wide arches on the car.

The test fit of the splitter. I can't elaborate enough how well it fitted. Shame to have to mod it.



Part way through being modded and also the skirts added. These had to be extended out to suit the arches.





A lot of flatting down and finishing to do. Hopefully all wrapped up tomorrow. Then just paint and I can concentrate on the electrics

 

Looking good mate love how wide it is

 

I have loved everything you have done on this car to date, but I have to say I'm really not sure about the front bumper and how it meets the arches.

You run a very high risk of recreating the famous snet Plough that was the laughing stock of this site for so many years. I just don't think it looks quite right IMO.

"THE" Plough. Reat in pieces (with any luck).

 

Ha ha yes that is a grim impreza. But have no fear. It's not done yet waiting for a clear day in the weather again.

I did however wack the sti8 scoob on...

 

lol i hope thats for humour

 

What's that then?

 

i think the standard scoop would look better than the ver 8 one

 

oh dear you're serious about the sti8 scoop? That just ruins the whole thing imo, each to their own :s

 

I don't disagree. But the 8 offers bigger intake and taller catchment. It's not going to please everyone. Then nothing about this car will

 

Righty ordered some more toys this morning to sort the chassis a bit....

Whiteline 24mm front roll bar
Whiteline 24mm rear roll bar - adjustable
Whiteline anti lift kit
Whiteline front and rear ally drop link set

New coilovers. Because the BC are knocky and leaky..... agian. For the second time. On the same car.

I've gone for XYZ adjustable jobbies. Racing logic where the first choice to be honest for the alotted budget. Which ruled out Nirton/KW/Ohlins/Aragosta etc etc. HSD was an option as where the Buddyclub units but I had XYZ units on an old rx7. Along with their big brakes. And I have to say was mega impressed. They offer bigger more sturdy bodies and a more robust top mount than bc/apex type units for the same money. And they also didn't corrode half as fast as the others. One of the big things is that they actually soaked up the bump as opposed to just hitting then so you got a good level of damping even with a firm ride. Pair that with the roll bars so you can run the damping a little softer and they where properly mint (again for the budget).

 

Got the coilovers through today from Tim @ Scoobyparts. Cannot praise them enough for their service. Parts turning up promptly. Second box tomorrow with the Whiteline parts. They've kept me up to date all the way through. Very very happy.

And over the moon with the coilovers too. Will get them on as soon as I get half a chance. Few of pics.

 

TOYS....

Roll bars:



Drop links.



Anti lift....
