Hi Guys

I thought I'd start a topic charting the progress of my little Impreza project. Basically I want to transform my rather boring looking import into an extreme show car.

flamesuit at the ready as im sure people wont like everythign ive done

Here it is when I first got it last year



I had it resprayed at Type K styling (www.typekstyling.co.uk) with a pearl in the paint



Then a few weeks later when I started to facelift it

 

Here are some pics when I first bought a Carbon bonnet for it. I got this from Endless Racing (www.endlessracingdesigns.co.uk) so it came ready to fit with a carbon scoop and vents

 

 

How much was the boot and who made it ?

What do you guys reckon? Suggestions on what to get next are welcome

 

bootlid is from the US was $800 retail. Though I got a large discount

I have a spare carbon bootlid if you want one. Make me an offer

 

What to get next?

Chrome Wheels, S202 type rear spoiler......

 

I actually thought of the s202 one. I have a carbon 22b one on order but im tempted by the other.

Want some carbon cup mirrors too, but im bugged by the non electric bit. Might buy carbon ganandor ones, I know they are leccy.

Got to decide on a new colour too! Its going back to the bodyshop to have handles removed, some arches fitted and a respray. Thinking either WRC blue with carbon front arches partially painted to blend in, or something US stylee like gold

Wheel wise I reckon im gonna do 19s. Was going to do 20 or bigger initially but im planning 400bhp + so think id be asking for trouble with anything over 19

btw here is what the kit will look like fitted, except carbon of course

 

Cars gonna look sweet mate, you got a pic of that rear bumper? Never seen it before

Cheers

 

I dont have a pic of my one yet but here is a pic of the charge speed kitted up gc8 with that rear bumper



lol at the subtle rear wing

 

still doing the hunting si?

 

but of course mate. Trying to blend into the snakes natural environment.
Hows your car doing mate, looked great last time I saw it.

 

Si, I have an S202 type in carbon unused and also some Arospeed RSGT 19" wheels with polished rim if youre interested.

With the help of my mate Ben I fitted the bootlid today. Looks wicked! need to get some pics in the Sun so the weave shows up properly





Need Sti lights now so going to get them from Endless Racing who I believe are the cheapest

RSVR racer do you have pics of your wheels?

 

Looks awesome mate,

you want to get a show car then go the whole hog and airbrush it!! you can have any style you desire. you would deffo have a scoob like nobody else (and a showcar like nobody else)

like this,



or this,



would look cool as ****

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO

gav..

 

Gav have you seen some of the Australian scoobies. You'd like them







im not sure if airbrushing is to my taste. I was thinking of having it blend from carbon into WR blue or something. Don't know what would look good. The bodyshop reckoned gold or something Californian style

 

siwrx...

where in the country are you?

 

siwrx E-mail me as your message box is full

Mark A

 

i'm in surrey near frank David

Hows your wagon coming along, looked awesome at totb

 

not bad... bored of it and cars..though. see 22b.com

Just seen a company and a car with a similar plate to siwrx around leeds.

your car looks nice.. but I think I really like the airbrushed stuff

 

I have a personal plate starting with C on my car now mate

Also got my carbon boot on now. The other stuff the bodyshop will need to fit as its not so easy to do.

Need power like yours lol mine feels way too slow!

 

Nice scoobs there mate

the Carbon fading to WRB sounds a great idea, not seen that done before!!!

the California bold colours have been done before, be different. thats what wins shows

as for my favourite saying,

DARE TO DREAM..

 

too true mate.

Got a long way to go still. Going for front cover or nothing been talking to a few of the big mags and theyre all pretty interested in it so fingers crossed

 

Lmfao

Fishing trip is long overdue, my skill level may have dimished! we need to get back out there

Looks like both of ours will be finished around the same sort of time!

 

good stuff C. Want to go for a spin in the beast when its finally done

hows the R33? still sva problems?

 

Hopefully resolved!!!!

Got a nasty feeling after all this time its going to turn up when I am away for work next week

 

Looking a little different than when I last saw it Si!

For a minute I thought the Project thread was going to be about how to make a Car cover..

Simon

 

well this is it si shes looking good son

 

Hi Stu

Gonna take it down K's soon to get the kit and stuff mounted so you will prob see it there.
