Engine will fit, but no room for radiator.

:lolup:

Horribly over budget now. People keep offering me better and shinier bits, so I keep buying them! :S

Thanks. Running a JDM stock engine with a TDO4 to start with , so should be somewhere around 280BHP on V Power, and 300ish on Carless. More later when funds allow! Oil leaks! Oil leaks! We don't do oil leaks LOL. Black is the new silver, just like it!

Thanks Callum. Have a look in the projects section for Rooby Clio 172.

Subarus are no less reliable than any other high performance car. Equally as reliable as an Evo, with far cheaper parts. The problem with Imprezas is the owners that don't drive them with sympathy and maintain them properly. Keeps us in business though :)

Looking at the pics,I reckon he has done the same as me, dropped a Clio with the floor and bulkhead cut out over an Impreza floorpan which has had the front and rear overhang cut off. The front bulkhead is certainly Impreza.

And featuring your very lovely Sti rear brake conversion. Many thanks Ian, damned clever product!

I know what you mean about the wrap, but it is there to hide all the dents in the roof. Looked awful in shiny white, looks a lot better in carbon :approve:

Had the guys in today to carbon wrap the roof and side vents. Run in the front brake pipes today, too.

And a couple of teasers........

And the painter brought the calipers back too. Mmmmmm.......... Matching the roll cage. there's posh!

Spent the day today screwing bits together.......

Been able to have a little dabble with things this morning. Installed the pedal box (great having been able to weld in the studs and nuts for it, easy job), and had a play with where the reservoir pipes are going to run. May have to be a bit inventive, as they are a little long.

Thanks. Yes, got some nice Brembos newly painted the same colour as the roll cage.

And I decided before I went home, a start HAD to be made, so I bolted these on.......

Today I'm as happy as a dog with two dicks. Been to collect..............

Brakes cleaned up, 325mm front and 316mm rear, should stop ok! Rear hubs and radius arms painted and poly bushed.

Didn't think there was any need for an intro!

So, started to assemble things so I can turn it into a rolling shell ASAP after it comes from paint. Front subframe built....

The rear bottom bush (the one at the top of the photo) is offset, angling the entire bottom arm down towards the front, which reduces the tendency of the Scooby suspension to lift the front wheels on launch, reducing the grip from the front end. Good question!

Shiny bottom arm, complete with new anti-lift poly bushes.

Anorak! Well spotted.

Promised back from paint next Friday!

BIIIIGGGG Drum rollll...................... At last.......... There is paint! (on part of it!!!)

Only just seen it myself *facepalm*

I can do it for you, Dan. You will have to suffer the ignominy of bringing it to a Subaru specialists, though, LOL!

Welded up a chassis trolley today, Shell lifted on ramp to remove suspension, Suspension removed, And lowered onto trolley, ready for paint! ​Lots of other bits being made pretty, more pictures to follow......

You think it's bad for me, it's worse for my credit card! :dead:

Waiting for the painter to fetch the shell next week. Excited or what! Been busy ordering poly bushes, drop links and Whiteline rear arms this week, so some photos of more car p**n early next week!
