some pics of my scooby so far










can you guess whats going off here confused






LOL











You guessed it, its a clutch change

having a service



Fully undersealed



and a nice video of a cold start and a little rumble :thumbsup:jaw-dropping



I took the interior out and found half a tree under the rear banch its either someone loves ******* in the woods or someone likes trees :shock:

Got some 4 pot calipers


and these came with them very shocked as i was going to sell them as there £190 pads but i may use them














I saw these on ebay and had to get em lol




I bought these alloys some Advan RC1's



Started rubbing them down as they should be white from factory and it seems some one just rattle caned some black paint on so i have a good base to paint on






had some spare green paint fromt he calipers






alot of corrosion just waiting on some filler arriving




and lastly a coolant change on the scooby got the bts from subaru


not the best job in the world i only had a few days





This tyre is being replaced



using the same green from the calipers




LOL


my complete brakes ready to go on

 

Great thread mate

Are you still running the standard sport suspension?

 

Some good work, so what's next

 

some nice work there looking good

are you the chap from e36forum that was after a scoob for awhile I used to have a e36 325i with lsd

now running another subaru much happier

what other plans you got

 

Nice work there...I have some RGs paint the Subaru logo on the calipers black.

 

I am atm Im looking for some p1 suspension or STI red or some uprated bilstiens

Next is the turbo bonnet and finally get round to welding up my gravel sport air intake

teaser


I am mate I sold My 328i M-Sport and got this scooby and im well happy apart from the lack of snow but the main thing is the ease of parts there everywhere and cheap. Apart from suspension mods I want a turbo interior maybe the 555 v3 or the v5-v6 STI interior don't know yet and also do a full rear disc conversion with subaru 2 pots in the same green.


I was thinking black or white im a little undecided atm but at least now they look 100x bette than the single pots and look the t1ts

 

I did this today

 

Just to add a video of my custom exhaust

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kwnyVPoSuo

 

I also have a bad rear wheel bearing on the O/S so im trying to source a cheap rear conversion or a new hub

 

NOt keen on the choice of green calipers etc.

 

Good start, bodywork looks tidy.

You might want to remove the address on the clutch box too??

 

The fastest colour too, excellent.

 

cheers guys im planing on more mods to come and ill keep this thread updated as much as posible

 

love the air intake, always wanted to do something like that on my car

 

Yup can't wait to start and having that with a v8 replica bonnet vent will give a nice cold air feed

 

not sure on calipers, u going for uneqeal manifold ?? give a good burble ! need lowering and i know someone selling p1 springs for 50 delivered mate ..pm if interested

 

I would love some p1 springs in now skint after the festive period and got my MOT on thursday :s

I was thinking about the unequal manifold but I've heard that they decrease the top end power and mpg plummets aswel I may just remove the seconds cat

 

Get yourself a Borla Manifold, best thing I ever bought for my old sport imo

When I got her -


And after -



Good luck with the project

 

thanks im defo gunna get some springs ill pop my list up for 2012

V3 or V5-V6 interior with new carpet
fog light covers
turbo bonnet
P1 front splitter
rear disc conversion with arb
front arb upgrade
V5-V6 spoiler
springs or full set
wind deflectors
upgrade sound system as mine is ancient
and finish off the gravel sport intake system and produce a few prototypes
and if I get time ill make my own upper and lower strut braces and some carbon parts

ill keep thinking about a borla manifold

 

I wonder what the nice city link man has brought me

Heres a hint










and here they are




started cleaning little by little it was coming clean
from

to

the hole all stitched up cant even tell and there was 2 holes aswel and also repacked the bolster foam !!!

A little video of me going through a tunnel with my tony banks exhaust

stop stop put the wallet away quit spending money on a sport there ****e save up for a turbo version then get yer wallet oot

 

Out of interest buddy which parts did you need for the front 4pot conversion? I'm thinking of upgrading my sports front setup.. Do you just need discs, pads et calipers? or are new lines required too

thanks

 

all you need are the discs callipers and pads and obviously brake fluid to flush the whole system, you can upgrade to braided lines if you want but im saving this for when I do my rear disc conversion

 

Im getting a turbo this year hopefully and all the parts on this car can be easily transfered so im buying cheap now to save cost later
