Not at all! Keep going, there hasn't been any excitement on here for ages.

Just to recap then,

Arch is a clype and blows his own trumpet.

JAC doesnt like the service Alan provided to Peter

Peter gave everyone 20% discount and wont let the same thing happen again.

Continue, please..........

Wilky was last seen wearing a stetson and high heels while smoking a rod

[fai17]

Do yous get that feeling everything takes longer than you wish!

Anyways here are some progress and the bumper is back from getting the treatment.

A sneak shot of the Ohlins!

Front end is near fished from the build up.

[fai17]

[mctwistuk]

[braveheart]

More light at the end of the tunnel Peter when will she be ready ? Would be good if you could do Crail on the 26th, cracking pics

[fai17]

26th is a no go and no point in putting yourself under pressure to get your car ready for a set date.

Loads more to do even if i get my car back on the road!

[RS Grant]

Could of at least de-tango'd the lights Pedro...

De tangoing lights ain't going to make it go faster Grant Peter you have to let us know who did the plastic welding, It looks the dogs.

[BalliSTIc]

For G*d sake get a grille over those coolers mate before they get shot to bits with stone chips!

I know you won't get many on a track/ strip, but I assume you'll need to drive there/ back.

Lookin' good!

[arch]

Front end is looking good peter.

Why did you not take the i/c pipework under the headlights to reduce the length?

[fai17]

They said they would prefer to have better flowing bends with longer pipe work than to have a shorter pipe work and 2 sharp 90degree bends into and out of the i/c.

Its just for experiement and R & D.

I know that you have the short pipe work and have good results but Jac has the longer set up and have great results too so where would you go from looking at the 2 set ups?

Thanks for the good comments Archie

[fai17]

Its been such a drain in the funds department and the car still haven't seen the road yet.Been spending and buying loads of stuff just to get the car finished!

The new rear lateral bar are on thanks to Paul@Zen for pointing it out that the previous ones were wrong.Cheers mate.

Here are the correct bars for a UK v8 STI.

The front chassis/under pinnings has been powder coating and with some new Whiteline/Superpro bushed in place.There is a Whiteline H Brace from a classic fitted too.These was supplied by Alyn@AS Performance.

This pic shows the H Brace and GKN shafts

Some more pics of the underneath to show all the powder coating and cleaning that has been done.It has also had a coat of black underseal for rust protection.

Now moving to rear fuelling set up underneath the car.Greersport has put on bulkhead fitting to connect the fuelling to the boot.

I would like to thank Colin Greer@Greersport for all his recent hard work.

[fai17]

And finally for the now...the clip of the engine running with the Front Mounted Turbo.

The engine is sounding sweet and there are just a few snaggings to fix before i get the car back for doing the running in next week.

Looking good peter sounding sweet indeed, I bet you cant wait to start putting miles on it ..there will be a few snags indeed always are with big modding however when it all ironed out im sure its worth it .. whats the first day outing you have ??

[Phil MC]

Sounds and looks good Peter .

I'm sure you'll think it's all been worth the hard effort and expense once you get your mitts on it again .

[gambler]

The car is looking amazing. It really is a work of art. Top Job

[sti pretender]

You'll be getting stands and a mirror to show the underneath it's that clean.
