Gumball Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Yesterday I finally got a hold of my new RB320, model 66. I absolutely love it!! The car came from Slip End Subaru following an engine rebuild after the previous owner ran it dry and shat the big end. They fixed it and provided me with all the receipts and technicians report and the engine has now done just under 400 miles. Finally Slip End gave it to Ian Grieves who sold me the car. Im running it slowly, working hte gears, building it up slowly and have been pootling around sitting in the slow lane. Unlike my old STI (version 8), the gear box feels tight, the car feels very solid and has a new competition clutch fitted. I am going to take it back and get the oil changed in a few hundred miles, then give it a while longer before it gets to stretch its legs. Cant wait. Real issue getting the car in and out of the street without catching the splitter, but ill figure out a way. Here she is. Edited October 1, 2010 by GUMBALL
G.Mac Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Nice one G-Unit, look forward to see you driving it in anger!

braveheart Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I hope the running i'n i comes with nonproblems and all goes well some of thease Subaru garages I know only do basic jobs brakes suspension ect not heard of many doing engine rebuildes infact I know a certain engine builder that has been approached by a subaru main dealer to rebuild an engine won't mention any names and that was i'n the last 2 days don't want to scaremonger anyways all the best with the run i'n lovely motor..
dan_jess Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Looks a lovely example. Whats the plans for this one then? Staying standard, few mods perhaps? No doubt you will have a few thoughts in your head.
Gumball Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 Cheers for the messages. Muchos gracias. I think well I know I have the receipts in the car for the rebuild. Cant remember if it was Subaru themselves in Slip end or someone else. In fact it was, cos they put some total quarz 7000 oil in it and they double as a citreon garage. Apparently the scoob guy they have their knows his stuff and is highly regarded. Things under warranty and I will be playing the game in terms of oil changes and taking it in for checks and stuff. that covers me. I also wont be driving it like i stole it. It will stay standard !! Famous last words. G- you win tonight, can you buy me a decat and remap? lol
wrxmania Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Excellent machine - congrats And welcome back too Brian.
gus the bus Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Welcome back Chris, the banter just hasnt been quite the same without your "unique" humour Fantastic choice to "come back" with As for the "leaving it standard" aye right!!!!
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I see you have had an old friend round admiring it............

scooby222 Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 welcome back and excellent choice, nicest hawkeye this side of an ra-r im sure youl enjoy it but no mods or driving in anger? i think theres a bet to be made there
