andyt, clutch is sold now, went on ebay for 99p

heres a pic from todays little bit of work, done a bit of seam welding and ground the weld around the bulkhead patch ready to be blended in properly.

 

 

the man of many words has spoken

 

Fairplay to you mate, big old project. Your doing a grand job buddy, keep it up

 

Ben 99p i paid over a 100 sheets for that, who is doin the welding for you mate

 

PMSL

Keep them coming chap, your doing great, was a bit worried though as it's been a while since you have posted anything!

 

i was rushing but wanted to reply as i didnt want you to think id forgot about it

Look at it this way, you could have got a 'Bal' kinda reply

 

Good work, its nice to see someone getting stuck in without fear, imho too many people get scared and pay someone else. btw i bought some of the same guages as you and they are stuck in malaysia, did yours come via DHL?

 

Jay-Cosworth, cheers

sorry Andy it was on ebay for a week but nobody else bid on it all the seam welding in the above pic i done myself one of my mates gives me a hand to give me a break and keeps me from getting sick of doing it, cheers Dectirbo

AD-RS1600i, i know, been busy recently and the weather aint been the best so work on the car has been hindered i was getting worried to tho cos it was constantly raining during the summer and winter is just round the corner

Lee Reynolds, no worries mate BAL aint replied yet

without fear is a bit unfair, at times ive been shitting myself but i dont like paying other people to do stuff if i can do it myself. my gauges came in about 3 days or so via DHL, but my mate nicked the boost gauge for his S2, so i ordered another one and its taking ages, but he does say it can take 10-15 days on the advert

 

RS Monkey, just got back from the post office, had to go and collect a few parcels, boost gauge was one of them

 

Looking good

ah... so thats what a nice one looks like

 

ive made up a patch and welded it into the passenger side inner wing this afternoon

 

 

 

Hey ben you havnt seen my car since ive changed it, its all back pretty much standard now its up for sale again though

 

looking nice Craig but please dont sell it to buy an imprezza

 

390bhp my friend, 24psi, what more can i say, im pushing around 150-160, so mine will feel like a corsa LS compaired to the scooby lol.
Ive had no interest in the car yet, people are keep saying mod it and more people will want it, but i'd rather sell it standard, that why people know its been looked after

 

yeah this is my Clio 16v with 2ltr 16v engine, Chip, Stainless Scorpion


i know where youre coming from with the performance side of things but dont you just think the impreza is far too common nowadays? my mate had a 2dr STi 280bhp was a lovely car but it just wasnt an Escort Cossie if you get what i mean
