Looks well that, I'd make a Couple of changes.... Detango and smoke the headlights, and change the rear lights and bumper for STI items.

Dave2207

Cheers fella want to detango the lights but not build up the courage yet lol incase i break them haha what would you use to tint them tinting spray??

The rear bumper an light are on the list i was originally a blue bug eye wrx and the last owner did the blob-eye conversion and sprayed it liquid yellow

Only just brought it payed 1700 fpr it but has a bottom end knock so getting it rebuilt next week

Love Renault Liquid Yellow I had a 182 in ,iquid yellow...so nice.
Really suits the Scooby mate. De-tangoed it will look spot on.

Dave2207

I think i may have to give this de-tangoing ago anybody done a thread on this??

Someone off here started a small group on Facebook where we openly mock cars with outrageous paint schemes and things that don't work or look wrong (and also each other).

You however sir, have created a stunner. I wouldn't have thought that worked if it were described to me but the clean lines, tasteful wheels and the bold paintjob really work. It draws attention without shouting "ricer".

Does she go as well as she looks?

Dave2207

Thank you mate i saw this car and it was one of those i had to dig into the savings and buy it and get rid of my ep3 typer.

As it stands now it has a bottom end failure but next week its having a full engine rebuild semi forged so fingers crossed all should be well start of november ish

thenewgalaxy

I'm from Warwick way originally, who have you got doing it? You're quite spoilt for choice with Thwaites, powerstation and litchfield all being around your area.

By the way what is the car? It's hard to tell narrow track WRXs and STis apart in pics sometimes!

Dave2207

A local garage a friend of my dads he has a scoob himself so i trust him with it.

I rang power-station £3500 just to rebuild it standard i nearly fell over lo!!!!

Well to your surprise mate the car used to be a bug eye wrx U.K. model wide track

Then when i was sprayed it had the blobeye front end put on

thenewgalaxy

That's a lovely front end conversion. It won't have a wide track if it's a bug of any variety, and won't if it's a WRX as they have narrow track suspension. However that can be sorted out, not that it makes much difference on the road.

Get some forged bearings and pistons in there, with a decent fuel and oil pump, injectors turbo and remap it'll fly!

Dave2207

Ow thats interesting im new to this impreza scene been on Hondas alot.

Going for csl race shells
Manly rods
Forged pistons
Vf34 turbo
Some yellow 550cc injectors
The going for a simtek ecu with antilag

Class, brave but I love it.

It's also similar to a yellow which is available on the Porsche Cayman if I recall.

Dave2207

It was very brave i must confess i never got it done the lad who owned it before did it but then he had to sell it as was stuck for cash. I just finished it it was just so unique i had to buy it

And yes Porsche did a similar colour i think but this is defo clio liquid yellow as i still have the left over paint just incase :/

LordG

thenewgalaxy

But he ruined that Bugeye front end!

Don't know if it is the same on Bugeyes as on Classics, but the cut-out is for the rear number plate lights to illuminate the plate at night when the lights are switched on.
