[wulsey]

Heres a few pics of my new project V6 STI Type R ,after a quick clean today.

To do list is

1. New brake discs,pads, braided hoses & dot5 fluid.

2. Change the engine,gearbox & diff oils,oil filter & fuel filter.

3. Change the wheel colour(unsure what colour to go for) & fit new tyres all round.

4. Fit New fog covers & headlight washer jets.

5. MOT & Tax end of march.

6. Sort out the bodywork ie rusty rear arches.

looks good mate, i think your wheels look good as they are. steven

[euan_r]

aye, you got a good bargain there. i was half tempted but have a few too many as is.

is it no a v5 though? as rear spolier has have the raised lip or the v6 splitter which may have been lost in its past. dont think theres much difference anyway apart from slightly longer 5th.

Looks good Barry. If your other cars are anything to go by then you'll have this looking stunning in no time

[mystery machine]

Did you not buy a Hawkeye STI recently?

Looks very nice Barry. You always seem to put together a car that turns heads - this is a great starting point so when it comes to wheel decision etc I'm sure you'll get it right (not putting any pressure on you or nothing !! ).

Look forward to seeing its progress....and welcome back...again !

Very nice, I always loved that colour after seeing my first RB5 - I am back in a Scoob but it's a GX I really want a turbo again. Anyway glad to see someone is back in the fold again

Aaaah.... thought that was you, Barry.

The new motor is nice - got to love a 3-door classic

And that white bug of yours was an absolute stunner

[mystery machine]

P.S. IMHO - the rear tints don't suit that car - kind of messes with the clean 3-door look a bit... JMO.

Wheels are braw

Im going to be taking the tints out if i can

It'll look all the better for it, Barry.

If your Bug is anything to go by then I'm looking forward to seeing the results of some tasteful Wulsey treatment

[mystery machine]

Might be a bit far for you to travel, but this guy did a fine job of removing some tints from my windows:

Cheers mate but i think i'll have a wee go with the hair dryer or heat gun myself.

Very, very nice.

Couple of point though....

No headlamp wash on the jdm's thats not the original bumper

I think the glass it tinted on the type r's, not a film added to them. Could be mistaken though.

If in any doubt whether it's a 5 or a 6 then try to start it without pressing the clutch down. If it does it's a 5 or a 6 with an aftermarket ecu. One of the other telltails would have been the front splitter but as the bumper has been changed......

The front bumper has been replaced due to a minor shunt & i think it may well be a V5 as it seem to have the shorter 5th gear eg at 70mph its sitting at 3.5k revs & it also starts without my foot on the clutch.

Thanks for the advise.
