N/S is complete floor wise... so today I've turned it round. While out in the sunshine, thought it would be rude not to take some pics in day light.
Give it a quick bath, was getting very dusty... Just cant get over how straight the shell is... I've owned much worse MK2's nearly 10 years ago   Its mint in all the right places...  Thats just dirt round the fusebox hole...   MOT runs out on it in Sept  , there goes the plan of just taxing it and going straight out in it mapping... Looks pants on steelies. Underside is taking shape though...

Note, Koni still to be refurbed and fitted this side...
 Still not sure on wheel colour...?   No problems at all round the sunroof...    Boot still full of parts... must get round to making space for this lot up in the loft...    Seeing it like this, I sometimes think why am I changing the colour...     Its gonna look in Moonstone Blue...Thats your lot for now... gonna try crack on again with it this week...

Didnt you mate spray the Blue one outside and then it rained or something? Shame as was a really nice dark colour.
Thats the silver one i remember it being really low. Think i had my 220GSi Turbo when you had that.

Abit of a poor update tbh... Its all painted underneath . . . Got a new ( 2nd hand ) turbo bonnet, turbo front hubs are fitted with new wheel bearings, still gotta spray up the turbo fuel tank...
My fav bit of the update though... :twisted: Check these bad boys out now there refurbed in tungsten grey :mrgreen: . . .  Cheers Ade for painting them... 8) Just gotta get the Goodyear eagle F1's fitted to them now...  There gonna look awesome on the car... Cant wait for the Orion to go in for paint

Using the blue shell mate... the black one was wieghed in...  We used a Adaptronics ecu on my Impreza STi Type R. . . worked very well, and was alot better than the GEMS unit that was on it peviously... Also had one fitted on my sister's 5 Turbo. . . same again, run very well, drove like it was out of the factory but with alot more bhp... Link to my Scooby build http://bbs.scoobynet.com/projects-40...diy-style.html Link to the Adaptronics website http://www.adaptronic.com.au/images/website/head.gif My sister's boyfriend is very good with his engines etc. . . he fits them and maps them, which is even better for my wallet ŁŁŁŁ I already have my ECU stashed away. . . |

was reading about the ecu on there site very good,got lots of toys on it which is very good
but didn't give a price ? will be very intrested when your car is finished to see what power you are running we are hoping for about 320bhp so we dont blow up the 4x4 running gear lol the ecu is almost similar to omex and other one's the only trouble is running that set up is who could be get to map it down here in cornwall not many tuners down this way apart from interpro bristol ,Alan jefferies plymouth ,ap motors plymouth and rk engineering st agnes. could anyone of these be able to map that unit or not ?

What the hell... a few More pics
Pics of the Rear end polybushed :mrgreen: Dont worry about the drums / hubs being rusty... They'll get a lick of paint soon for the time being until a rear disc conversion is sorted...  A couple of areas will want touching up underneath, which I will leave til it comes back from paint... Going in this month :mrgreen:    Cossie discs got alittle paint too, just want the faces cleaning up...
