My Wee Project Thread

[p1ggm]

ok so here is my first go at one with impreza no. 4

its a 92 wrx, needs a few bits and bobs done to it as its been off the road for a while, and has a couple bits missing, but it does have ohlins suspension, h & s exhaust, quicksift, k&n to start with so some money saved already

here she is getting picked up from previous owner (ex tayside member barry ferryscoob on here, big thankyou to him)

kev the recovery driver and his wagon

home in the driveway

so first thins first...with the help of rs grant and a hammer

then a wee polish after taking 3 nights to remove the stickers...they were on the car for 5 years

so plans are, get her running first but already half way thre, just need some parts

front mount kit so i can put on the sport bonnet i have

remove as much as i can from the car, ac/cl/seats carpets etc

then just track it really, till something breaks then rebuild it out the way,

if anyone has cheap 2nd hand parts they want rid of/need drop me a pm

best of all so far the car is costing me a total of 70 quid

50 for the recovery and 20 for sparky

so big respect to ferryscoob for the car

kev for the recovery

and joe the sparky for his help

Cheap cheap enjoy the car will be the best money you have spent

[RS Grant]

I'm so glad I was part of the de-lexus'ing and de-spoilering process... I even saved you some more weight when I lost a nut from the light cluster, every little helps.

Cheers,

Grant

Nice one Gordon, hopefully going to do the same thing with mine now. I put it off the road at the weekend after buying a van. Couldn't bring myself to sell it to some scabby chav so i just parked it up.

Keep us updated mate.

[p1ggm]

yea i know your car way too good to go some gadgie and get death.

hopefully will be on the road soon ish maybe even pop to an sidc meet again....

i miss the banter at times, mind the car with the amazing mods that made it the fastest scoob in europe or something......then got hosed on

[RS Grant]

Hahaha, incorrect!!

mind the car with the amazing mods that made it the fastest scoob in europe or something......then got hosed on

That the tosser with the Cusco WRX RA with the ECU that senses when you fit new mods and modifies itself accordingly... I think its crazy that an intelligent ECU like that never took off?!

Cheers,

Grant

[dipsy]

Looking good Gordon.

[rig-pig]

getting there m8 but we must have more pics

[p1ggm]

well it still looks the same sort of, got new plugs the day, so they will be fitted tomorrow night and need to put fresh fuel in it

will take pics tomorrow.

[p1ggm]

fresh plugs and fresh fuel, running pretty good now, next up is flush the old oil out

been tidying the car up a bit and making it look a bit more track slag, also did the brakes on one side tonight, and after sitting so long everything still works perfect, almost like new tbh, so a clean up and grease and wee paint up, job done

here is some pics from my phone

[p1ggm]

oh and the car still hasnt reached the 300 quid mark yet, so still cheap at the moment, hopefully have it moted in next month or so just need a decat pipe now cause original downpipe has split

[FerryScoob]

Car is looking good. Glad its getting the treatment it deserves instead of the years of neglect by the previous owner

[CharlieMac]

Looks really good with the white along the bottom, good luck with the rest of the build.

[p1ggm]

well shes nearly there, just need to sort exhaust leak and hook up a breather pipe thats missing
