Hi,

Thought i would post a few piccies of me mota..

Goes from when i bought it, did the gauges, did the brakes, and today did the front bumper and wheels and had a semi decent crack at the paint. Lots more to come.

2 months ago when i go it.














After Brakes:



After Bumper, Clear Lights & Evo









































Couple with a little blur. Im not very good at photoshop!



Gave it a bit of a clean including a clay for the first time with some nxt gen polish

 

I did intend on leaving it standards and going big horse power sleeper (ish) but these bits came up i had to buy them .

Here is a general guide for the next mods im going to be doing.

Styling.
Sti6 Rearl Spoiler
New front driver side wing
P1 Front slitter (with removable toeing eye)
Respray a couple of bits, and get someone good to straighten the rest of it out.
Possibly some anthracite p1 style wheels. or paint these

The rest (fun stuff).
Firstly this thing needs stiffening up. Its a track/fast road machine for fun so i want it handling real well.

24mm Rear Arb
22mm Front Arb
Droplinks
camber adjust bolts/topmounts
Coilovers
f1 asyms and r888 on my 16's
AWD alignment and corner wheel weighting.

FMIC
Fuel Pump
induction
Dual port DV
3" turbo back decat wrapped (gnome or something not too loud)
Wrap turbo
Cleaning engine bay.
ECU & Remap.

Hope you like the pics

Looks a lot better just needs a new style front grill to finish it off.

 

What would one of them look like? Tbh i think the grill on it now looks fine.

 

Def needs p1 splitter, nice spoiler and dropping. That will be done when i sort the handling out tho. almost looking as i want.

Cant decide whether to stip it, cage it, and graphic it or not :S

 

This grill is fitted to all facelift cars with the late style bumper.

 

Yea splitter would be good ive gone for a sti6 one a bit more subtle than the P1 one.

 

yeah cool. also different badge. Tbh i think i can live with the grill. However i do like the p1 splitters so will be doing that i think

 

sorry. bats in keyboard ran out!

Yeah i think a spoiler and splitter will really finish it off.

Then i can pour all my money into making it track honed. It really does lack in the handling department. And i could do with a few more horsies to keep up with the porker turbos on the straights.

 

looks really good, sounds like you got a plan!!

 

nice car mate . from another silver scoob owner check mine out , i have the pf77 rims but not the p1 front end , has been lowered since these pics and it sits nice .

 

ahaa you got the flat out slogan.

I was thinking of buying a numberplate like Fl.XXX OUT

 

my plate is my user name lol the flat out slogan always makes people behind smile lol


got my winter rims on now and went a bit mad with some stickers lol

comin off soon and gold rims goin back on with new tyres








u can see the difference in suspension in these pics . it runnig sti shocks with eibach red springs and handles like a fooking ******* . quite soild though . had coilovers on my last scoob and had no end of trouble wit em leaking ect . i got the springs n shocks for 250 quid in good nic and it had dramatically changeed the car . looks miles better to .

heres a few before the lowereage and before the gold rims came off for the winter . they are to good to be exposed to these sh*t conditions lol .








run the gold on the new suspension but they were rubbing due to the tyre profile , so i had to get new 35 profile tyres to fit em under the car with the new suspension .

and help needed just give me a shout


mags

 

they 18's then i take it? Think im gonna stick with 215 40 r17's untill i get me some AP's.

There is plent of 2nd hand coilover kits going for about 200-400 quid so i think im gonna get one of them. As its going to be track fully adjustable would be nice, get some camber on the front

So much left to do! I think i need to take a month off spending on the car.

 

New pics added

 

2min in photoshop HDR. Its not the best picture, ill have to take some more. First time ove done this, really makes the bonnet/lights look good

before

after hdr.


If anyone else can do better id like to see what i should be aiming for

 

I prefer Photomatix for HDR processing, I then cloned out the cracks n leaves/stones n put a highpass filter on it in Pshop,

 

A slightly better 1;

 

you have a really clean example there and I like what you've done to it.....

Also that photoshopping at the end is brilliant
