fudge Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Couldn't keep it to myself any longer You mentioned to me not long ago that you were possibly thinking of changing to something different Gramps. I will put money on it that when your car is all running with the new lump your be glad you never changed car. A sorted Impreza running at 400 or more is SO much fun. If I were you mate EXE TC is your next mod. I would find it hard to believe that there is a better suspension out there. Cornering near the limits with EXE TC fitted can be scary. If you want, I will take you for a fast run through the lanes in my car and you can then judge for yourself
T123VOR Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 What do Zen , etc do with the old engine, gearbox etc- do they deduct from the price and sell on or do you get a spare engine??
granby Posted April 15, 2009 Author Posted April 15, 2009 What do Zen , etc do with the old engine, gearbox etc- do they deduct from the price and sell on or do you get a spare engine?? I've no idea Trevor, suppose i could make the old engine into a coffee table

Scooby Hoo? Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I've no idea Trevor, suppose i could make the old engine into a coffee table At 330 bhp it's got to be up for sale. PS if your giving it away I have a carpeted garage waiting to look after it.
fudge Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I've no idea Trevor, suppose i could make the old engine into a coffee table If Paul thinks he may be able to sell engine / box on, he may offer you something & deduct it of final bill. On the other hand if he feels that he may be stuck with the items you will need to collect it when your car is finished. Gramps if you need to collect your old engine & box, or you wish to keep it give me a shout and I will follow you up in one of the vans.
prodrive tony Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Its great to see these projects going ahead, love to see what can be done. Great engine, cant wait, Just fitted those Perrin roll bars Gramp's, stiff is a understatement!!!

Great engine, cant wait, Just fitted those Perrin roll bars Gramp's, stiff is a understatement!!! Told you so , did you go for 25mm rear & 22mm front, i've got the rear on it's softest setting and haven't tried the other 2 settings yet

eureka Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 What do Zen , etc do with the old engine, gearbox etc- do they deduct from the price and sell on or do you get a spare engine?? you will bring it home with you if they are any good, but i cannot imagine there is much call for second hand 5 speed rex box or lump unless to forge and then resell i wouldnt think paul will want them "have to ask"
eureka Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 At 330 bhp it's got to be up for sale.PS if your giving it away I have a carpeted garage waiting to look after it. without the supporting mods its a 220 bhp wrx lump so no real resale value

granby Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 Been having a bit of a fettle with the front bumper as it didn't quite fit right after fitting the FMIC, APS supply templates for what you have to cut out of the bumper which were fine around the main opening but in the fog light area they weren't enough (maybe the wagon bumper is slightly different), so it was out with the dremel and cut away The FMIC bar was also a nice place to mount a couple of my HID ballasts Also trimmed of the opening for the FMIC with some edging trim and made a grille to give some protection for the FMIC Without grille With grille
fudge Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Looks like you may qualify for the exclusive club then Ian
