No new garage 100 yards from the house gave me motivation. Next is P1 engine out and full respray plus a little bit of attention to detail when it comes to the underbody

not realy only a days work

Well a little update Old car on the ramp in the new shed engine on its way out Engine on the stand An heads off and all looks good PPG box is also off and will be rebuilt over the winter forgot to take any pics though. Back to work for a couple of week on tue. Will get the engine out of the P1 next time I am home

So you had no luck selling it then? What RPM do you get full boost at?

oh crap not good. Hope the engine and dry sump are okay

You have the best Impreza mapper in Britain if not Europe a couple of hours drive from you. Its who i use http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/index2.html Paul Balmire (zen performance) comes highly reccomended as well. Heard nothing but good things about him

Yes they came with 17" or 18" wheels in gold, anthracite or silver

Of course staying sonic Blue. Some P1's came with gold wheels as standard. Could go bright silver

Well picked up the AVCS heads. Never actually got around to pulling the 2.1 out of my old car yet. Plan however is to pull out the 2.1 and stick it on a stand and clean it up and paint it. Pull the engine out of the P1. Full respray due to now having own paint shop in the garage ( don't worry also have a mate who is a paint sprayer to actually paint it ) Engine bay will also get painted to match the external colour of the car. Have the wheels blasted and the painted (colour yet undecided graphite or gold? Clean up all brackets, inlet manifold etc and paint them. Strip all the suspension parts off the car have them grit blasted then paint everything and polly bush the whole car. Then rebuild it all with all the tasty bits I have and hopefully we will have a mint 450-500bhp P1. I appologise for the lack of pics. All will start when i get home 2nd of october and the car will.....will....will be back on the road for my 30th at the end of March

Well engine issue is still not really identified. It seems to only knock when cornering. Car drives normally but the idle is poop I have the forged 2.1 in my old car so it's coming out and will be fitted into the P1 with AVCS heads Started stripping the old car for the engine coming out this week Must remember in future that you need to release the refrigerant gas in the air conditioning before undoing connections Will be fitting the reverse inlet manifold manifold so air con will be going in the bin.

I have a spare set of drop gears so not so concerned. If it breaks it breaks will just have to make it better so it doesn't break

What is that? I will take my chances

Have no got alot of experience of knockhill but managed 62 with the old car with 2.1 and 20g so hopefully with some training, improved spool and better suspension i should be able to do it. As for 1/4 mile I have no problem launching it. Was doing a full bore 6k launch when I ran 11.68 and have the transmission to handle it

I recently purchased P1 #494 which = Project 494 Have decided seeing as the build number isn't that high a number why not use it as a target Car was bought with knocking engine so that will have to be replaced Parts I have to fit so far Engine Fully forged 2.1 CDB Big port JDM AVCS heads Un-equal Gruppe s headers Billet fuel rails 960cc injectors Reversed inlet manifold HKS intercooler Walbro lift pump Bosch 044 transfer pump Swirl pot Drivetrain/brakes 5 speed 3.9 DCCD box with straight cut PPG gearkit Plated R180 3.9 rear diff Stage 5 uprated driveshaft shop rear R180 shafts AP 330mm 6 pots Brembo 2 pot rear brakes Suspension Set of BC coilovers 24mm rear whiteline anti roll bar 22mm front anti roll bar Whilteline adjustable lateral arms Whilteline anti lift kit Whiteline subframe brace I still require a turbo and ECU Looking at SC46 and will be running a syvecs ECU Aim is a sub 60 second lap of Knockhill and to be my 1/4 mile PB of 11.68 More pics when the engine comes out later in the month

Will be nice and reliable with mid 400s and perfect for the road May just have to see if i can be my 11.68 as well

No need have a PPG box with quaife ATB diff and DCCD to fit And it will be back on the road spring 2013

SW built 2.1 out the white car

Yip new engine required. Means a good excuse

Possibly we will see

Just full stainless exhaust with sports cat and re-map maybe 320ish She is a keeper everything else is in the process of being stripped and sold off minus the good bits which are going on the P1 Pictures were taken about 5 miles from my house on the back road to glenshee

Will be getting used. New engine to go in this week then just enjoy driving it.

No janspeed exhaust. Not loud enough that I cant here the engine knocking

Well seeing as I am off it would be rude to not put up some pics of the new toy Hope you like

It runs but has an engine noise. Yet to be diagnosed. It is still driveable. The guy is using it every day and dropping it off in Aberdeen for me. At worst it's the bottom end at best its something I can fix

Well I will be up in Aberdeen to pick it up prob Tue or Wed. Will be in touch. Maybe we could come to an arrangement as I need somebody to pick me up from home to pick the car up
