As some may be aware I have decided to carry out some changes to my Spec C, as I've been busy at work I've not been on here much recently but here is what is happening:

The WRC S9 replica bumper is coming off and a standard bumper is being fitted along with STi winglets and fog lamp covers, plus a V Limited / S203 front splitter. This also means fitting a standard STi upper grille as the S9 bumper incorporates the upper grille.

I'm fitting Muteki SR48 Burnt Titanium wheel nuts, I really like this after being let down recently on a set of Rays Duranuts - these Muteki nuts are the dogs dangles.





So if anyone is interested the WRC replica bumper will be up for sale shortly plus a WRX front splitter which I bought as I was going down the WRX bumper route before changing my mind and going for the STi look.

 

Well done Ty - I'm sure the car will look great when you've finished, Old Charles Darwin wouldn't be able to keep up with your "Evolutionary" journey

 

Way to go Ty, will look mint.

 

No evolution here well not yet anyway more like boredom and browsing eBay at work.

I think I'll ask them to block eBay/non work related sites at the server portal as it will save me a fortune.

I hope so Rich, I'm hoping the nuts will look good with gunmetal wheels.

 

All he needs to do is de-spoiler it and spray the wheels white and it'll look spot on...

 

I've seen one of those before

 

New additions look great Ty

 

There is no f***ing way on Gods Earth will I ever have white wheels ever again, I know plenty of people like them but they are a pain in the @rse to keep clean.

I like the spoiler but I could always buy a standard boot lid...

I suppose I could put some badges on it, and then pretend it's something it's not.

 

Cheers Merv.

 

I saw your Spec C at rallyday fella, looked great

 

They block everything with me save's you some cash 'til you get home

 

Love the colour of those wheels. Where you get the nuts from ty? are they scratch proof

 

They are coming from the USA as I couldn't find a UK supplier with that colour in stock (limited edition colour apparently), they are anodised and have a special socket so they shouldn't scratch.

Do you want the eBay link Ryan?

I like the bronze colour of those wheels, just like Jarvis's wheels (although he was told they are gunmetal).

 

Thanks, I'm glad the rain hid the dirt.

 

Christ Ty, I can't keep up with you! They must be paying you parts guys too much

 

I'm not surprised with all that **** you watch.

Not enough Taylor, definitely nowhere near what I'm worth.

 

All in the interest of research

 

I have an STi bootlid that will need the holes welding and then spraying! Yours for the princely sum of Foxtrot Alpha

 

But where on earth could he possibly get it sprayed...

 

Ummm, not sure, there's lots of cowboy sprayers around, gotta be careful

 

Cheers Merv, I'll take you up on that.

Hmm, I wonder...

They don't call him the Lone Ranger for nothing but who is his 'able' sidekick Tonto?

 

Thats nuts Would look nice on white to really show them off though or just ordinary silver. But then again the colour will look completely different in reallity so may work.

 

It's the badges that give my "WRX" the edge over highly tuned spec C's, so for that reason they'll be staying

 

Perhaps next time we will have a more balanced comparison rather than me being in 6th gear and you in 4th, I don't think you will fair so well then.

 

As explained with over 400lbs.ft torque at 3000rpm my car accelerates as well in 5th but my clutch wouldn't cope, using 4th meant I had to squeeze a gear change in, I remain confident, but please don't feel threatened by a "WRX" with a shagged clutch, even if I was faster

 

Hmm, faster well as the 6th gear on my car is an overdrive gear and therefore does not have the same acceleration as being in 5th which would have been a 'fairer' comparison.

However your car does go well for a lowly WRX there is no denying that, I mean bolt a large turbo on anything and it will go quicker...



Hook, line and sinker.

 

You two still grudging mines better than yours. I don't know.:P

 

No, he knows mine is better than his , some say we are like Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee:



But I like to think we are more like the below; one has serious issues (Jarvis aka Marcus Burnett) and the other (me aka Mike Lowrey) is suave, has a better car and the looks.

It must be one sided then, and not from me either...

I thought someone was stalking me.
