That is asolutely stunning, something like this could get me back in one myself at some stage

Good Job, and congrats for going against the norm :thumb:

If you like it, then that is all that matters :thumb:

beef-on-the-bone 14 February 2010 05:11 PM

Handles like crap cruising along on a straight bumpy road yes, but hard in the corners with the extra wide grip and camber it never lets go so its a mixed bag really,

The 225's are stretched a wee bit but if i ran wider tyres the wheels would rub like mad so its a compromise, little bit hurt by the pimp my ride remark not sure they have quite as much attention to detail but i understand its not to everyones taste, partly the reason i love my car so much :razz:


fair play m8 :thumb:

Cheers Ben Thanks for putting those up on your blog really appreciate it! :thumb: Forgot to say :luvlove: the HDR pic what camera are you fronting?

Should be attending Japfest event's either santa pod or castle combe, obviously not going on the track with my setup but would be good to meet some fellow scoob fans if any of you go! usually go to top fuelers at pod too was a right laugh last year.

The Dry carbon is 3M vinyl which i wrapped myself, went to Birmingham NEC car show not long ago they had a Lambo with real dry carbon panels and its literally identical to the vinyl, Wet look (glossy) vinyl is not yet available at least no decent stuff exists always ends up looking cheap imo, but i'm sure 3M will crack it soon.

Takes a lot of trial and error to get the right setup this low on these wheels so if anyone was planing on doing it then chat to me or bockett to avoid nasty hicups! Were always keen to see nice scoobies done properly, Not to say i don't like purist Subaru's fully race/rally spec they have a special place in my heart too but i don't have deep enough pockets or the skill to own/build something power mad lol

Im all about owning something unique that gets attention of any kind as long as it keeps me happy ill keep on truckin lol break the mould :hjtwofing :D

belliott69 14 February 2010 10:39 PM

Only using a Canon 350D, tripod, Adobe CS4 and Photomatix.

When i get down your way i'll make a day of it and bring the kit with me.

I'll also be at the above so will have a chat about stands etc

I like the dry carbon roof bit, how's that achieved?

was a superb set up before you lowered it pal... I'm a bit old fashioned but you've nailed the american "slammed" look well done.

EVILSTI 15 February 2010 07:18 PM

gorgeous looking car mate..:thumb::thumb:

Cunaide 15 February 2010 07:35 PM

Still need's some spacers on it to get it Flush as possible i wont be happy till it is! :P

Bockett 15 February 2010 08:41 PM

Once the spacers are fitted it'll be spot on.

RetroRacer 15 February 2010 08:53 PM

I still cant decide on what size, you'll have to eye it up with me when i do your wrap :) Btw are we ok with original studs up to 15mm?

Bockett 15 February 2010 09:00 PM

We can try my 5mm spacers but they will probably be to small.

Personally i'd want to see how many turns a nut would get on a 15mm spacer. You may want to run extended studs for added security
