Well we've had a very successful morning.

Simon has been to set up the cars running in map and after a few tweeks is running beautifully. Absolutely delighted with how it runs and drives at the moment.

Cant wait to get some more miles on it. All her temps and pressures are solid and its feels and sounds fantastic.

Really pleased, so far so good

frayz

First oil change done and 170 miles later she drives lovely.

Been a busy boy today fitting these. Ride is very compliant but she needs a geometry setup, also need new camber bolts as the tangs broke off the rears

Still, she drives fine for guesstimated geomtry lol







And before anyone says about my rusty roll bar and mounts, theyre all coming off for powdercoat along with teh rear calipers for a freshen up

Good to see this is running well after all of your hard work. This is one of the most comprehensive builds I have ever seen on here. Lots of time and effort being spent to get everything absolutely perfect

Nice car Frayz.
Apart from my 3dr, my wife and I both run Scoobs as dailies (O3 Impreza STI prodrive, and me a 04 Forester STI).
Can you tell me what your planned geometry settings are for your car?
Cheers
Iain

frayz

Same as what I usually run mate. 5.5 deg caster, 1.5 deg neg camber all round, straight fronts and 1deg rear toe out.

My rarest find to date,

Ive wanted one of these for years, but Prodrive stopped making them a while ago. Ive managed to finally trace a genuine works S7 WRC carbon vent brand new with the prodrive sticker on it.

Taken years to finally find one, then out of sheer fluke i found this. I cant wait to cut the bonnet for this badboy.

My rarest find to date? I think so!

frayz

Here she is dressed up for her first night out in Essex.

Only missing the white heels, lashes and fake tan

That's a find & half Frayz, well done, haven't looked at this thread for a while, glad it's all coming together mate, looks awesome in those pics bud

JonnyBravo

Saw you out in it the other week, i was on me way over to gadgets brothers

frayz

I was probably there myself mate. He did my licence plate for my bonnet. Hopefully ill catch up with you at the next Essex PF meet if you go.

When is it and are they still holding them at Southend?

frayz

The Bomber saw a swap to NGK Racing 8 plugs tonight in preparation for mapping. I was delighted with my idea of the removable fuel pump/filter cradle too.

The whole system came out in about 3 minutes, 2x AN fittings, 1x bolt and 1x multiplug and the whole assembly lifts out for easy plug access. The drivers side is merly loosening one jubilee clip and removing the turbo intake.

Also managed to source a USB to serial adapter and could recaliberate teh Innovate wideband to read Gasoline. So with the wideband reading correctly and proper plugs. Shes all systems go for some proper boost.

Woohoo

We will be on track at brands on the 17th nov

frayz

Lol at you lot,

Well, what a day. To put it blunt the day was amazing... i am delighted... and the car is in short, f'kin ballistic on the road!

Huge thanks to Simon, Charlie and CJ for their work on the car, and a huge thanks to my wingman MADDOG for coming with me.

Ive got heaps of thankyou's to do and say but the bottom line is:

525bhp and 480lbsft on plain Vpower at 1.9 bar.
573bhp and 510lbsft with 20% meth at 2 bar.

nevsrevs

nice work, well done,

Gadget

Wow! That must be like a steam train.
You must be chuffed mate, well done!

AGAR-COSWORTH

Wow - thats great power from (dare I say it) a very unsuspecting looking car.

frayz

Thanks guys, it feels pretty damn awesome to be honest.

great result must be so much fun getting it on the road after this mammoth rebuild .

frayz

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. Its been a long road. Still have a few odds and sods to get right on teh car, but i think any car of this level is never truly finished.

I hope to get to an Essex Passionford gathering soon. Hopefully see some of you there

....hope so.


Cheers,

frayz

Sorry guys, nothing much to tell right now as it hasn't moved much over the winter months. I'll keep this updated as things change though. Hopefully a few nice additions this year and hopefully some magazine coverage

frayz

Hi chaps,

Been pretty quiet around the forum recently. So just thought id post a little update of some small refreshments on the car.

Rear Brembos have been refurbished in black/yellow to match my APs up front.


Rear diff guard got a freshen up


Rear ARB, brackets and links also got a jolly up with some fresh powdercoat. All fitted up with new stainless fasteners and new rear pads in the calipers.
None of this can be seen i know and there will be lots more going on under here, but at least I know it's all reasonably tidy again for the summer,




Also have some more bits and pieces going on but will update when I have more to show.

Cheers, frayz
