are you bringing the other half Rich? does she know your car wont have a heater...

My wee bro is riding shotgun. I have failed to tell him he may need some long johns

The gf was at crail last year and spectating at knockhill last week so I'm breaking her in gently

Rich

627.4 bhp is the power in the car on v power, martyn had it on the dyno the other day, very pleased with the result.....just need to find the time to go down to plymouth and bring it home......

WOW thats some power scott, I hope that run still stands

Rich

I loved the note and burble that my old scoob had with the afterburner vortex backbox. Its not as loud as the blitz.

Booked up.

Its the lassies Birthday that day too and she wants a card, oh me, group bday card from the scooby nuts perhaps?

Rich

Nice work Dave, sounds perfect to me

Thats been for sale for ages and makes me wonder why, other than the stupid spoiler that can be changed. Bodykit isnt to my taste either. Those photos are ancient too.

Worth a viewing but be careful

Rich

Look

You should have got a horizontal bar done behind the seats for mounting the harnesses to!!!

Harness bar at the back

example:

Thats a nice car you got there. Any mods planned?

Rich

I'm supposed to be working.

But if I can go then I'd like to go North

Did you look into doing the Seam Welding Rich? I'm guessing your not if your prepping for the painters... as it would put a fair chunk of extra time on the project I'd have thought...

I did find out a little about it but I'm not going to bother.

I understand that to do it right the car needs to be stripped and go on a jig and every seam has to be done to strengthen the whole chassis. This is a bit extreme for what I am building at the moment. The cage alone will strengthen the car...to an extent anyway.

Cheers for the comments lads. Davie I hope you get that airfield plans sorted out

Rich

Spent a bit of time on the car yesterday and this morning.

Cleaned out all of the sound deadening residue, glue and crap. I seen a thread on snet where some1 said they used UPVC cleaner to remove the stuff, b******s!!!! Needed some heavy duty mak yer heed buzz stuff to remove it.

Then this morning I took some pics outside the workshop as I need the pics to send off to Custom Cages in order to get their approval and to get an MSA certificate.

I then moved the wiring loom and started taping things up in preparation for the painter.

Rich

Looks a tidy motor and a very nice spec list

Rich

Sound Deadning - Heat gun and scraper/chisel. Once worst is off use petrol to clean residue off.

Harnesses - We have K Sport in both our track cars. As good as the SABELT harnesses they replaced (out of FIA date) to be honest. 3" 6pt

You going to seam weld the chassis when its in bits like this?

The sound deadening has been removed and I have bought some UPVC cleaner to remove the residue.

I havn't read much into seam welding. I take it this is to stiffen the chassis even more? Your right, now is the time to get it done.

Rich

When can I come have a look then?

Pop round to AWD on monday, i'll be there "tooterin aboot"

Nice figures Adam, will be interesting how these compare with the E85

Rich

Wee update:

The cage has been fully welded up and looks to be done quite well, few pics off my phone...

I'll be prepping the car on monday/tuesday for painting the floor and cage. The dash is going to be trimmed this week to suit the cage. Still need to source some harnesses.

Anyone got any tips for removing the residual sound deadening on the floor?

Rich

Must have been the wife Rich,hows the project going?

I'm trying to upload new photos taken today. Cage is fully welded up

Tidy min, I seen it parked up on cathcart street last week

Rich

highland fling '10 - revenge on the tandoori!

TANDUBARU 2010

theres also been mutterings of a run northwards from another scallywag on here

Enter the Cullenmin

I have hinted at the possibility of a run in the far north of Scotland with an overnight stay in Ullapool.

I'd be up for doing both a Skye Run and a Northern Run, both with overnight stays and in a large group. Possibly split them up by a few months (Pre summer & post summer). Just an idea

mmmmm Talisker, get it doon yi Grant

Rich

I'm not sure about sizes but Julian from Turriff tyres told me that 18 x 7.5 are fine on my hatch and they clear the calipers.,did ask him if i needed 18x8 and he said i didn't have too.Will be speaking to him again tomorrow.

What tyre you going for, width wise? I'd go for at least 18 x 8, maybe even 8.5 as long as it didnt stick out or look odd

Rich

No updates but havnt been thinking about it at the moment tbh.

I'll see what AWD says tomorrow.

I do have a nice steering wheel and boss kit sitting here for it though

Rich

So all special editions should be left bog standard?

So if I rip the interior out of my RB5 and fit a multi point cage I will be slagged off on here?

Do it, exterior will still be identified as an rb5

Welcome to the forum min.

Theres a few members local to you and as Al has said, keep an eye out for meets in the events section.

Usually we have meets in elgin and the odd local and national runs, bound to be one coming up soon

Rich

Mine says "Impreza R" for the model and it is a type R.

All depends what info dvla are given at first registration I would think
