hi Guy's

Some of you might seen the thread i started on the newbie's section

https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...ew-scooby.html

Since ill be unable to insure the scoob for a few year's ((bloody thieving bugger's insurance companie's Are)).And a quick flirt with selling her.Ive decided im going to "attempt" to turn her into a really clean and tidy classic wrx. Bit of info:

It has a aftermarket air filter (apexi,soon to be back to standard airbox) New Radiator Cap. . full through mongoose exhaust system.Ferodo brake pad's all round. uprated sony door speaker's.

So a few mod's done but nothing outrageous.

im going to pick up a set of alloy's tomorrow

Decided to keep the scoob now as a occasional tracktoy over the next few year's then once i can afford insurance to be my daily!!...So i have a few year's to keep the scoob ontrack and tidied up and sort out it's ever growing list of problem's.

I plan on doing most/all the work myself so will be on the pester for help from the clever Cunnnt's on here :mrgreen: :geek:


Stuff I Got Started On So Far:
Powerwashed Underside.
Filled/Primed/Sprayed Front Arche's
New Fuel Pump Out A Sti Type R
New Alloy's:

List OF Prob's!!: :shock:

Slight/ Rattle when at low Rev's...Goe's After 2k
Horn Dont Work :
Fuel Gauge Dead
Exhaust bolt's sheered off after the cat so exhaust blowing.
Front Bumper A Mess
Coolant Seeps Out Of The Tank Next To The Air FIlter When Warm
Caliper's+Brakes In Need OF Refurb+New Disc's.
ICV Need's Adjusting!!

Any help in any of the forementioned prob's would be msot welcome.

As you guy's kinda guessed im not going after big BHP and such...trying to sort these prob's before i go looking for a big more ponies under the bonnet.
Dont Worry there's more. . i dont want to scare you guy's to much

Bit of a update needed here:

Got this in a swap for the old alloy's:



All pipes and hoses are there. .

Also got my hand's on a exedy clutch with less than 500 miles use

New rear disc's aswell. .

All going very slowly due to the wr quattro's engine rebuild taking up nearly half of ma wage's every month!! nearly 1.5k and a can put it back together yet!!! that's just the block!

Also the most recent pic ive got.

also in negotiation's on getting a cdb tdo5g, piggyback ecu and injector's

watch this space

Layed up ready for stripping down off the suspension and brakes...under-seal still to go on underneath. Arches are done.

Suspension and brake's to be replaced. . Engine for sale as getting a STI rebuilt one with Td05 on the go soon.

Will keep updated with proper progress once new job creates better cash flow.

underneath is quite clean..Need's stripping with new bushes and mount's and a lick of paint and under-seal.Oh and all new bolt's!! . good base to start with a think

quattroowner

Well i thought i better make a start today.

Dropped the coolant and oil. (no sign's of any metal shaving's in the oil or on sump plug.

Removed TMIC .
Coil pack's unplugged
Carbon Canister Off
Radiator Off
Air Filter And MAF off
Front Grille Off
Header Tank Off. ( Yellow stain on driver's side cam cover is from this leaking when getting up to temp's)

Will hopefully get the front bumper off and Light's + unbolt turbo from down-pipe before Duncan Arrives to help save time.

find it amazing how easily these engine's come apart. . A lot easier than the Wr quattro sitting next to the scooby

Added a few part's to the list of wanted ( Slightly Larger Alloy Radiator,Samco or silicone Hoses all round, looking into a reversed inlet manifold for the FMIC. Seeing how easy it is to do/not to do)

Also had a little crappy mock up of the FMIC..No were near sitting in it's right place but is a bit of a inspiration.






Comparing difference in sizes of FMIC and TMIC



Going to need help in getting the brake caliper's and hub's away from the strut's off. The bolt's are rusted to ****...Anyone any idea's??

lots of wd40 and an inpact gun or a big bar and some elbow grease does the trick

Well Spent only a few hour's today. . Mainly giving the engine bay a quick clean and marking up area's that need work, Also marked out the wiring that needs replacing ( front light's/Fog's/3 port boost solenoid.

Also will need a bit of a rub down and painting in the engine bay. .Including resealing the between the chassis rail's and wing's.

Tomorrow before the meet(if i get to town in time) ill proper clean down the engine bay with engine degrease/muck/**** stuff and a power wash.

Also got a few engine part's that i can get rid off..will put up for sale once i got my new engine so i know what i have got all together and best choice to rock forward.
