GaryD Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Looking good Gary popped up to see Jim tonight and he made pretty good progress by himself! Looking forward to joining this whole subaru thing in the near future! Just not as mental as Jimser Will be impressive when its done. Oh look, someone has finally popped there "posting" cherry!
jimser Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 as already has been said not much happening this week fitted 24mm anti roll bars for detailed fitting instructions see dales thread also fitted ap calipers but the backing plate/stone guard was a nightmare to remove as couldnt get at the bolts holding it for the driveshafts so just took off everything in the way;front shocker,driveshaft etc engines going back in on sat so should get quite a bit done next week

st3ph3n Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Are they the same size as Peters? They certainly appeared to be damn useful when I was humbled by a short drive in the chocolate mobile.
jimser Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Looking Jimser.....How did you get on with the capped bolts? if the big 1's are too big and the small 1's too small then i'll cut the big 1's down...phew fitting fuel rails tomorrow

mctwistuk Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 thinking of a bigger turbo already John lol. Car is looking good jim. Will be good to see you and DCI in the Bamboo ??? battle it out at Crail.
thewelsho Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 thinking of a bigger turbo already John lol. hmmm not right now... but, if I do go down the PPG route eventually, then I might as well give it all the torque it can handle! But that is a L-O-N-G way off, if ever
jimser Posted April 21, 2008 Author Posted April 21, 2008 yesterday we fitted my old meercat exhaust,gary had it on his car but took it off when selling.the downpipe of this system has now been on 5 cars and the rest of the system 4. downpipe wrapped not all plain sailing but got there in the end also re-fitted radiator and power steering reservior and other bits and bobs of re-connecting hoses etc. did have a bit of a worrying moment when i realised i had a bit of chocolate on the block not good at all! tonight we fited the rear coilovers even managed to get craig on the job(yellow on here) and heres another gauge ive decided to fit ,not sure how to wire it though? thanks to geo(cusco kid)for getting the coilovers for me and simon(higgy) for his advice,much appreciated guys
