Best of luck mate, and might even see you at David's as I am taking a mate up there to pick his wagon up after the gearbox went.

Always nice to see a fellow owner and member

Look forward to it mate, forgive the missus though. She'll have a face like thunder as she isn't too impressed that all the parts managed to sneak into the front room.

I'm promising her a bit of shopping to ease the pain

funny how we feel the need to offer a sweatner to the other half when spunking money on cars.

Well if you are there around ten to half ten I will see you there, will be in a black 05 t25,

cheers steve

definately chuffed mate,

I'm hoping it will be good for about 500bhp, with supporting turbo/fmic etc

Although if it can't go that far I'm not too bothered as long as its reliable

She isn't happy, I'm well informed of that

But to be fair, I do have a "Subaru room" and it seems to have spilt out into the front room "by accident". I also have turned our balcony into a workshop, which again could have gone down better.

Anyway, she's armed with her Next catalogue so all is well, We'll be setting off shortly.

yey

Had a good day!!

Met David and the gang, very nice guys. I even had one of the famous bacon rolls.

Felt like I was a kid in a sweet shop when I went in, Subaru parts everywhere

On a serious note, I'm really glad I handed over my build to them instead of attempting it myself. Small details which I over looked could have caused big headaches, but they were fully explained in terms that I could understand. I left with a full understanding of every aspect of my build.

Also met a few SNetters, was nice to see you guys. Ross thanks for chatting to Caroline when I just p**sed of and left her to look at scoobies and parts.

All I need to do now is sit back and wait for the magic to happen!!

API's customer service cannot be faulted IMO. Now comes the worst part, the waiting minutes feel like hours, day's like weeks......better find something else to pass the time otherwise it will be all you thinkabout.

I know what you mean, I'm not in any major rush on this one though, I just want to get it right first time. I still have some more bits so save for too.

I have posted a few things up for sale on here if anyone is interested. I've decided to get a Spec C manifold so various bits can go.
