I bought a Blobeye type uk widetrack a couple of months ago. In a previous life it has had a lot of bodges done to it. Cheapskates should not own a Subaru. On the plus side it has a 2.1 stroker built by TDR which goes very nicely.
So far..
All fluids changed
Dyno check at TDR
Wheels refurbed
New tyres
New battery
New bonnet ,the old one had those stupid aero bonnet locks plus a dent.
Front bumper sprayed.. too many stone chips.

Quickly adds up with refurbs, tyres, respray bits etc!

what are the longer term plans?

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

Long term plan is to fix all the bodges. I was planning a full respray but i need the cash in other areas of the car

I might do discs and pads while it is on the axle stands. It has EDC red pads in at the moment, the peddle is virtually solid. I havent decided what to go for yet for spirited road driving.

I am looking for a gloss black front splitter of a decent quality fitting.

NOSSY_89

Sure there is a guy on here that sells them mate. Not sure if matt or gloss though.

Dave Y

i bought one off him but cocked up and didnt order the gloss one. Local painter wanted £120 so i am ordering another

I’ve always bought ht autos front splitter, fit sound.....stay away from the maxton design one Dave, they look great in the pictures but are a nightmare to fit.

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

You must have read my mind. I think i had HT before.

This morning i am on the hunt for some quotes for discs and pads. Nothing too over the top,grooved discs and some pads that give good stopping power without emptying my wallet.
I know buy cheap buy twice but i have to spread the cash all over the car.

for our cars Dave 👍 looking around 350

NOSSY_89

Depends on budget mate, you don't need to spend insane money to get good pads/discs. It might be worth having a list of what you want, fast road, bite, low brake dust, noise etc. Then you can get recommendations from us

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

Fast road, low dust.good bite.

I am leaning towards Performance friction Z pads.

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

Are Kevlar pads any good ? I couldnt see a £350 package

johno01

ive got this set up on mine and it seems fine although I don’t drive fast...£335

johno01

I believe it’s a step up from standard but could be wrong

stockcar

have never found any Kevlar type pad that works better than good quality OEM stuff..........

johno01

not compared to them performance friction lol....then again depends what you want them for....that £335 package suits me perfect as I keep within the driving limits and usually have my son in the car.

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

Godspeed have a deal that’s tempting
performance friction z rated pads and
g hook discs £495 + free shipping
Tempting.
I don’t know if there are any better deals to be had .

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

I suppose it all depends on the quality of their discs

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

Still cant make my mind up which brakes to buy. I am going to give Performance Friction z rated pads a try but what discs

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

Does anyone know if the Brembo discs the Eurocarparts sell are any good ?

stockcar

potentially do similar at better costs unless they have their silly deals on.........

also have both Whiteline & SuperPro roll kits on the shelf normally

johno01

car is looking good Dave 👍👍

have you had it waxed etc....?

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

A local fella machine polished then used Zirconite products. Then i will top up with ZG- 365 sealant.

johno01

Looks really nice mate and there Carnauba wax is pretty cheap too....new product incoming for me 🤗🤗

Dave Y

iTrader: (52)

I have ordered a couple of their products.
The carnuba wax is one of them
