Lovely car, friend of mine mentioned it to me when he was at Zen recently
|
Lovely car
What spec engine you go? |
Looks cracking - good on you for not giving up after your run of 'bad luck' :thumb:
Looks like you have had your AP's colour coded to match Brembos - where did you get that done bud? Paul |
Who did your flocking, would love to get mine done
|
Cheers guys,
brief spec.. forged 2.5 closed deck, cossie pistons, farndon billet crank, arrow rods with Stock STi heads, I would have fully built the heads but that’s all the budget would allow at the time. I did the brakes myself Paul, it’s not a perfect match but not far off at all, it’s honda Inca gold, took me about 4/5 evenings after work to fully prep and paint them. Thomas and Vine (flocking.co.uk) did my flocking and did an awesome job can’t recommend them enough and reasonably priced too, think it was about £270 for the dash,glove box and centre console etc. |
Looks great, nice one!
|
Very nice:):):thumb::thumb: really like it.
By the way what radiator over flow can are you using? |
I love this. Very nice indeed.
|
Thanks again guys :)
I’m using a custom one Mike, its riveted on and holds just over half a litre I’d say.. here’s a more up to date pic.. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...cf3ab8efa.jpeg |

Very nice car
Hard work payed off , love the gold calipers , well done lol |
Ps , lateral never seem to honour a blown turbo , always this or that from my experience. Glad it didn’t phase you tho :)
|
Cheers mate, thank you for the information:thumb:
|
Nice built car.
Well another lateral drama........ hence I stay away from md turbos as I was going to get the v motorsports one but I've heard too many dramas. Is that a 7670 efr you're running ? |
Cheers Jazzy !
Thanks Busta, yea it’s a 7670 efr with a garret v band exhaust housing, had the rcm headers v banded to suit custom uppipe |
I think this could be my perfect impreza now. You've done everything I'd want to do and it just looks perfect.
What's next on the cards for this then? Gotta be there now surely ? |

Everyone has to have something to keep them sane during difficult times. I can totally relate to that. I have a 63 beetle sat in the garage that I never get to drive and the modified Foz STI which is my daily. Gotta have toys and projects!
Great work. Good luck at Snetterton. You'll have to let us know how you get on. |
Awesome I love the old beetles, and the forester STi, id definitely have one for a daily. Cheers I will do.. Iv got myself a tyre pressure gauge and a temp gun to monitor things throughout the day.. il probably look like a right tool but it’ll be fun haha

Been a while since updated etc. Not used the car much, got out to japfest a couple of weeks ago. Now planning on having a cage fitted along with loom done and whatever weight saving possible at the time. When will it all stop:cry::lol1:

insanely jealous.... very nice

I love your car mate, looks awesome in white.
Very special, a very nice car to drive I bet...… :thumb: |
Love a white hawk nice build.
Do you have a turbo oil feed filter? I have seen quite a few turbos on other people cars fail due to small peices of liquid gasket blocking the oil feed to there turbos usually fairly soon after a build! I have run a filter for years and have never had a turbo issue been running my GT35 for over ten years now. I always recommend one on all the cars i am involved with. |
What an amazing build!
