Oh and here is the latest buy

what did you go with Craig? thinking of doing some polybushing myself this year but not sure whether whiteline,perrin, superpro or powerflex!!!

got a full set of powerflex my thinking is that they have been on the go for YEARS and are still going strong so must be good products if you want to go nuts they also do a motorsports range, going whiteline for roll kit and links, eibach for ARB's, and prob BC's for coilovers

Good lad craig, nice to see you got it in the end The car looks great and its nice to see it being claned up right.

My only observation - is the VF48 not more of a 2.5L sized turbo and going to be laggy on a 2.0 or 2.1?

yep its off the 2.5 STi hatch, did a bit of reading up and it shouldn't be that bad, also talked to a few people that have them fitted on the 2.0 and they say its fine

just ordered a full set of poly bushes as well dave, just thinking on what to get fro the rest of the suspension set up

not made up my mind on that one m8

nice m8, now time to cut the rest and make a rear diffuser

looking for around 380-390 bhp to start off with as the DCCD box might go pop with much more than that, i have a mint 2.0l CDB tucked away for the next stage of power

body wise i plan to cut the back end out and go flat floor, arch extensions.

inside will be stripped of excess weight and buckets added full cage (non dash dodge)

basically a track car with MOT & TAX, i plan to do track days,sprints & hill climbs with it well as much as i can anyway

nice progress baz, that was a lucky catch with the belt could have been expensive

anyway thats where i am just now, as as some of you know me, you know how far i will take the project

finished stripping off the plastics today, was a but nervous about what would be under the side skirts after 15 years, but i had noting to worry about, onto the air conditioning tomorrow

and my new VF48 from Grant

been scoobless for a while now as some of you will know, got a type R after holding off for a good one, anyway here it is, (copy & paste)

its time for another project (Project Rig-Pig Racing) thats the R down to me it has the following spec just now

Car- 98 V4 impreza type R with 57k over half done when it was in kilometres, adjustable rear spoiler

Interior- Standard Type R with the 4 optional extra Lamco gauges, Volt, Oil pressure, Oil temp, Boost

Engine- newage block from version 8 STi with low mileage, V4 STi heads, turbo VF28, standard STi intercooler and air intake, full 3" de-cat exhaust

Suspension/Brakes- Standard suspension, newage Brembo front brakes, 2 pot rear calipers

Running Gear- Type R DCCD box and diff, newage STi wheels

I also have a mass of parts i have been collecting for it over the last 6 months, Here she is as she stands just now please note the car has been off the road for 2 years and has just had a quick wash today

well didnt get as much done as i wanted, wee lass had her jags and isnt well so didnt get the time, got the rear bumper and bumper mount off and cleaned up, also removed the spoiler

got board after washing the mazda, so left the wee man playing with the snow foam and did the trial fit of the spoiler im fitting, the base mounts are drilled to the boot lid but the legs were just sitting in place and the end plates are still in the garage, if the weather is good tomorrow i will weld up the holes from the old spoiler

Bosch S4 is the one you want i had one in the blob and it use to sit for 3 weeks while i was away and fired 1st turn every time even that bad winter 2 years ago

thats just wrong

welcome to the fold m8, sounds like a nice scoob

just got a set of brembos fitted to the R and had to use bug/blob STi wheels and change the tyres from 205/45-17 to 205/40-17 so they didnt rub

ye ye ye i dont think i have even seen you in a washed car well maybe once

nice work Baz and a helper, i wish i had a ramp to work on the cars, BUT i do have a helper be he is only 3 1/2

good to have you on here m8, my m8 Lee that had prestige polish has packed all his gear away and is away back to his original work as a marine drafts-man

how do you find the teaching ?? primary or secondary, i know how much time it takes up my Mrs is a primary school teacher

looks good chris im sure your mrs thinks the same

welcome to the fold m8 your not dave KG from DW are you ???

ace work baz time for a tubular diff cradle for weight saving ??

nothing like supporting your club m8

thanks eddie

nice one Baz car looks top with the new spoiler and stoppers m8

i know spenno on here is selling a set of "STI wheels in bronze/gold with 225/45/R17 Pirelli Sotozero winter tyres" the tyres are like new, im sure he is looking for £400 for the lot, might be worth dropping him a PM

if your needing a clutch your as well to upgrade it and that way you know its good
