Very Nice hawkeye..p.s. loved the bugeye ..

Looks an absolute peach, good luck with it :-)

very nice martin! loved your bug so much and this one looks a cracker too.

Looks mint mate, lucky guy.
Take it your staying away from wide wheels?
What happened to your build?

BEAUTIFUL and you have nice taste!
The sound of the decatted twin scroll mated to the Genome will be something else!
Not jealous at all :D
Who are you getting to map it?
How many miles does it have?

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Still getting used to the the car and already have a few plans in mind... More cosmetic really.

The build stopped as the bug went mate, luckily it was Alyn building the engine at ASP he was very understanding as Alyn is

Martin

Cheers mate :thumb: can't wait to have some noise from the car, the standard Sti system fully catted is extremely quiet :lol1:

Did I mention I have a genuine jdm roof flap in the house ready for Frayz to fit :norty:

Andrew Carr will be seeing the car on Monday afternoon

Martin

Very nice indeed:thumb:

Very very nice :)


Welcome to the JDM club

Cheers buddy :thumb:

Thanks mate, can't get over how different the jdm drives compared to the uk :notworthy looking forward to getting to know the car better :D

Martin

They are mega, I love the noise ;)

That reminds me I need to drive mine more

Lovely motor. :thumb:

Awesome motor and looks mint as :D

Thanks guys :thumb:

Martin

Looking great Mart. Hope you're enjoying it. :D

Very nice Martin, JDM`s are not too bad are they ;)

Nice choice and well-chosen first refinements.

Very nice car indeed, I've no doubt you're going to love it and the twin scroll engine and Genome exhaust are a great combination. :)

very nice

where you buy the gear nob from ??

Loved this car on hurst cars site awsome ,nice mods your doing .A nice splitter would finish it off

That's awesome! Glad you've got another one.
The gearnob I'm not too sure on, search for subaru duracon gearknob, mine was $88 but it's pure awesomeness - it's the genuine version of what you have, it feels like glass and has an awesome shine.

Loving it Frayz, after the convo we had before I bought I think I made the right choice :thumb:

Oh we need to make a date :norty:

It's defo won me over Gaz, smile at it like a little kid... :lol1::thumb:

Cheers buddy, like I said keeping to the oe jdm theme :D

Martin

Cheers mate, Yep can't wait to get them on and mapped :thumb:

This one was given to me by max at Hurst Cars as a gift :D they can be bought though, little pricey I think though

That's next on the list Glenn, have to address the suspension soon then take the sunny tyres off the bbs :cuckoo:

Martin

Cheers mate, like the feel of this one... The oe is a little bulky for me :thumb:

Thanks to all for the kind comments when time and funds allow the car will be awsome... Not getting rid of this one anytime soon that's for sure :D

Martin

:D very nice choice there mate and liking the touches your making :thumb:

Out of interest what is the approx cost to fit the roof vent? they aren't to cheap to buy either.

Whoop whoop , engine bay looks mint clean , always a good sign ... Enjoy :)

Thankyou mate :thumb: best pm frayz mate he'll give you details ;)

Engine bay is über clean mate :D never seen a tmic in as good shape :luvlove:
One things for sure it's just going to be cherished :thumb:

Martin

Beautiful mate :luvlove: :notworthy

Im interested to see how much hp you can get out of the standard turbo, etc. I think you can get circa 400hp with the VF37 iirc.

Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

Thanks mate, I read the vf37 should produce around 350-360hp... I will update when it's been mapped but anything around there should make for a nice road car
