Speedline 2013C 18x8 et11 https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...1813b3a5c.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...02124dcb5.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f55ffc793.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...70907b837.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...10ed69c38.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...c433b33a8.jpegThen as usual got carried away. Offered up the prodrive alcons just for photos. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...15f522fc6.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...41bbc21f8.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...deab69d8d.jpegThen got even more carried away and offered up the bonnet vents and spoiler to see if what i picture in my head will work. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ced08aa5c.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b3796ab74.jpeg Very happy with them. Always loved these style wheels since having revolution milleniums before. Cheers |
That's slot of masking ,must of taken ages :thumb:
|
This has to be up there with some of the best builds.
|
Thanks for the kind words people, there was
2 of us masking and took us just over half an hour. Never expected to be going so over the top but i am my own worst enemy and just keep pushing.. anyway got a few photos and bits to add up now, got the teins cleaned up and refitted along with brake pipe clips and grommits etc https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...406b9dcb2.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...deb61ea5b.jpeg Then the new rear brake pipes turned up from ICP https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...6a2aa72a7.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ed844ea1d.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...381a91f21.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...bab6dd8cc.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...3a2b245db.jpeg fuel tank wiped down, rust chased out on the seams and flaking sealer removed, then rust killed and coated with raptor. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9a253f1c8.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...add841e11.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...c468316f8.jpeg Tubular rear subframe turned up to but unfortunatly fouls on a gusset bracket for the spare wheel on the top tube so the guy is making a modified one to hopefully clear it. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...5c408b2aa.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...da9a28982.jpeg thats all for now everyone, cheers again. |
Whats the weight difference for the two subframes. Are you going to keep it clear or paint it?
|
who's subframe??
|
|
So figured i best bring this upto date again, had some bits powdercoatedhttps://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...2900ba240.jpeg
Sti Group N trailing arm fitted with new bracket and hardware https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...1d8422bf5.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...0966c05a4.jpeg Rear diff outrigger has new oem bushes in, new oem mounting plates with bolts (2 main mounting bolts are on order - due september) also 2 new dampers with nuts and U brace diff mounts https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...02d0e5bae.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...22763cb5e.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...60027bd1e.jpeg Picked up this off a friend of mine, just need to order the adapter for 5 speed on the linkage https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e41655a86.jpegHad a little issue with the tubular subframe on clearance but turned out i got sent the wrong one, so 3-4 weeks later we have a new one which fits. Thats currently at the powdercoaters as we speak https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...757b182eb.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...304bd2674.jpeg another care package from ICP new filler neck, rear shocker to hub bolts and 2 new rear Hubs https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e4cbdbc26.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e832f6eba.jpeg Thats all for now, have a few brackets and subframe at powdercoat, have a few bits on order at subaru, then can get the fuel filler neck fitted back up, rear subframe on and both trailing arms bolted up. cheers people.

Hi Simon,
As Nossy says, there's a lot to show for it. Most of the hard, dirty work is done already so now you can start looking forward to installing the fun parts! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one completed! :thumb: |
Cheers fellas, probably being a little harsh on myself saying that, but an itch for a porsche 996 is really getting under my skin and coming between me and finishing this car.
|
Please get the Porsche, stop building this and Pm me with the price you want for the carbon firewall and seat delete and the rear subframe.
:) prrty please. |
looks great! looking forward to seeing it with the wheels on. what mountain bike have you got hanging up in the garage ?

haha sorry but i can point you in the right direction for these bits. Carbon firewall/parcel shelf/seat delete is available from rallytech for £1300 and the tubular subframe came from a chap on facebook
Thanks mate, in the very early photos it was a 24" identiti dr jekyll but i got rid of that and now theres a 26" orange 5 lurking in some of the photos https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...c9dc4b8bc.jpeg |

https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b1a0226e5.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...04d97c38f.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...365b2d67c.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d0fd4e7ac.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...2c5fc0e27.jpeg as you can see by the photos i have got all new bolts for the rear casing and the drain plugs, but then 3 bolts snapped on the bearing covers. Luckily managed to heat them up and get them out but the covers broke off parts of the lugs so i need to order both side covers+bolts and a gasket for the rear casing. Otherwise i got it wire wheeled and cleaned up and then sprayed matt black. End casing will be going silver. Then ordered all the rear anti roll bar components from whiteline for the 24mm, 2 parts showed up still waiting for the actual arb, and need to order the new bolts for the mounting brackets https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f3b7d79fd.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b66561671.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4fb95292d.jpeg Then next couple of jobs ive being doing are cavity protection, using bilthamber products, and then to address some bare metal and surface rust on the outer sill areas before winter. Removed front wings and bumper just to check behind them, as i did underneath i havent bare metal'd everything as its crystal clear there isnt rust other than the areas obvious https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...327449027.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...db6abbe7a.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...033c30608.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...3d45f565a.jpeg The sills have had 2 coats of bilthamber on and left to cure will then put some paint over the top just to seal it all in for now. Exterior will eventually have a full respray so these areas will be covered properly at a later date. Then all i have left is just a couple of random photos ive taken, got a list of bits to order from subaru/icp and waiting on next payday. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...77a007cc6.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...3127f252c.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...0890bcbf7.jpeg cheers everyone. |
Hi.
Going back to the rear arches. Do you have any tips for removing the underseal to take it back too metal? did you use just a grinder with twisted cups on ? |

Well some of you might have seen a few weeks ago i decided to break the project car, i sold some big pieces off like the tubular subframe, cae shifter, carbon firewall delete, rcm exhaust and then regretted it all. So now done a massive U turn on the car and carrying on with it.
got all new rear hub assemblies built uphttps://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f690c604f.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ff037f47f.jpeg Bought some recently refurbished rear brembo's and Sti rear diff mount brace https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...08a506cee.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9dd8b2994.jpeg Then onto some photos of standard subframe powdercoated, new mounting bolts and hardware for diff brace, Heatshields have been vapour blasted like new and fitted back on, whiteline rear arm set with all new bolt kit https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...e1cc12758.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...0f6508013.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...659c1389a.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f8b1659b4.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...3c93797a6.jpeg Next job is to get rear driveshafts all cleaned rust killed and painted up, refit them and get some diff oil in. Then find a new manifold and uppipe and try get exhaust all mated up ready to fire it back up |
Wow! I was amazed to see you were breaking it Simon, then equally surprised you’re back on it again. It’s good to see you’ve got your mojo back. It’ll be worth it when it’s done.
