My 3rd saloon this one was a gem find.
1 owner I purchased at 3230 miles!!!! She is stunning original and still had original tyres with dates on plus all paperwork original invoices and brochures.
In my eyes worth every penny and over the moon is an understatement.
A Big thank you to Cambridge Subaru and in particular Derek. He was a legend in sorting fantastic price and making sure everything was 100% I must have been a very difficult customer yet he was faultless Also Don Clark thanks for help with part numbers

A big thank you to Nationwide in Harlow And particularly Dan the estimater and Max the painter one did an amazing price for me and the other is a wizard with a paint gun. I have been told about him finally used him and he's work is amazing.
With this pair there is 6 shades of pearl white and 4 shades of laquer... It is perfect it was only ment to be lost in rear quarter but Max insisted for it to be seamless it needed to be lost in doors. The fantastic original price never changed A massive thank you to those guys.
Also a rally car never had reverse sensors if anyone wondered why rear bumper. For the cost That Derek at Cambridge subaru did it for me. I would rather a professional job.

Wow I would have thought they would be a lot more than that.
Maybe I'll keep and put some winter tyres on.
Genuinely shocked at how little they are selling at.
So had a spare hour earlier and decided to put in the RCM340 fuel pump I purchased just before xmas
I thought they were aeromotive 340's but the sizes compared to what I found online are different. The impellers inside are that of aeromotive (or looks the same) but size of pump is much smaller.
Compared to unit removed unsure if part of the 340 upgrade is a pump I will investigate but it's same size and looks like the same type of impeller!
So all in all genuinely unsure what I've fitted I doubt RCM would sell **** or lie but come remap time we shall see what's what.
Very simple to fit if anyone wishes to attempt there's
2 tips release pressure from tank before releasing pipes and with the Orings I used a bit of wd40 on fingers just so they slide in easily without damaging.
Whiteline rear cradle inserts and rear diff support inserts.
Reason for this despite my car will be used mainly on road, my new wheels are 19x9 inch wide with a 35mm off set.
I am hoping with camber and a neat little trick (will be revealed when I install), I can get away with coming down to a reasonable height and without modding my arches! It's gonna be tight so need to lock the rear end in zero movement if possible!!!!
I noticed the tail pipes got extremely hot this was on std boost! So took precautions this time, some expensive tape!
Also on the old car I noticed the right sat higher than the left! I fitted to this car and yes identical, I have uprated torque solutions exhaust rubbers. I swapped one on the right to a std one and hey presto perfect
I ran out of light so no finished product pics sorry, hopefully tomorrow ��

Also installed but not before painting in Matt black
Summit racing strut brace perfect fit very light comes in an awful colour std... Halfords stepped in oh and the amazing Ryan put the final coat on after I rubbed down prepped primered and put initial coats on! So all glory goes to him.... Apparently!
And genuine hella horns..... The pathetic excuse of a thing they issue from new isn't even fit for a mobility scooter. At least now I push the button it has meaning!!!
Again I was wiring in the dark so no finished pictures sorry. I have left both in std locations 1 in grill the other in std inner wing. Reasoning if I go the route I feel I'm gonna! I will use the other side of the grill for fuel cooler!
As promised engine bay.
Looks shocking I know sorry but slowly getting sorted! Will update as I go.
Regarding breather pipes I have a RCM track attack catch tank. But I don't want it just screwed to the chassis rail. I'm in talks with 2 "companys" to make me a custom bracket to sit on.
I imported a kstech true 3" CAI what an amazing finish but zero boost when I drive it until mapped!
Which I'm decided if on that route too as we speak! Simple map or syvecs!!!!!
A little teaser..
The ISC suspension arms if anyone wants let me know
WORK OF ART!
not cheap but amazing quality! They came from the states and 1 rubbed very slightly which is expected tbh! They weigh a fair bit tbh!!
Worth every penny
If anyone want drop me a pm I build a really good relationship with the owner Andrew he assist in shipping shall we say.
So BIG thanks to him at ISC in America.
White line stuff I ordered though Alyn at As performance absolute star and real pleasure to deal with.
Ohlins wow this is a dream build for me. Best all round suspension for my little beast...
I searched haggled and bartered for the best price on these!
Rosssport come in trumps over £200 cheaper than ANYONE!! Despite sumo power being the same company even they we're slightly more!
Thank you.
This car is my everything. When I had my last P1 I went to slip end and in the show room was one. I just couldn't afford it at all, no matter how I looked at getting the finance I just couldn't do it.
I have my own business now and when I got my old grey one in the sun she was amazing but a gloomy day like today it didn't do it for me. Every day no matter the weather "snowdrop" my late dad named her that sorry.... I tried to talk him to calling it something else but it wasn't! She looks amazing
I haven't just gone and spent a load of money remember I purchased a lot of this with the old one.
But this car came up with hardly any miles it may as well of been new. It was my blank canvass. Create My dream car.
