Welcome back bud.
I'm new since you were here last and I'm an absolute Pain In The Arse! 😂
Hope you stick about mate, I guess it's true what everyone is saying! "They always come back"
:up:
Lovely looking motor...
Look forward to seeing your updates :up:
I'm slightly surprised that @imprezaworks didn't correct you on your title to this thread... he did it the other day with the same word 😂:smirk:
:grin:... I shall have to PM @RetroTed
To be fair he did ask me If this was all I neede with that photo, I said yes it looked alright it I had no idea what I was looking at 🙈
I'll have to hung him some postage monies for the UCH 😊
I'm trying to do it this way so that A) I know exactly what I've bought/spent, so that I don't go overboard with it and B) so that everyone else can see just exactly what's needed to get out on track and at what cost it's going to come at.
Starting to think that maybe I shouldn't be tallying...
Welcome along bud...
Definitely get a thread up when it comes time to build the Impreza! I love the things!
As for the Clio, it just needs a different set of wheels for me.. I'm not a fan of the current set, but that's just my opinion.
All the best with the car, looks like a good base for...
This is very good to know as the suspension is such a ball ache to get right. I shall keep an eye on these as I'm rather interested to see if they drop in price slightly.
Good luck with the track day. Look forward to hearing how you get on
First car - V307 LUK - First car and want it back (think it's scrapped)
Mrs & I bought this - L62 GYY - BMW 3 Series (was a heap of s**t so scrapped that)
Second Car - Y595 OGV - Passat 1.8T (I scrapped it after being made redundant & nobody wanting it)
LY52 FBC - Rubbish when I bought it, Mint...
Welcome along bud. Glad to see so many in here helping you along already.
I'd certainly swap the wheels over first, don't worry about the arch gap for a little while, then switch over to a set of Bilstein Coilovers. They're £640 and they'll change your car dramatically (from what I am told &...
SMALL UPDATE
Right guys, after much debate on the Air Filter setup, I've finally decided on the Fatty's RamAir Filter mod, with some great input from members on the forum. :up:
It'll be a good starting point and if I'm not happy with it, it's only cost me £38.
So, as per usual the obligatory...
I mean.. i guess i just jumped to that conclusion, just by the way it looks 😂😂
So is that filter huge then?
Also, I'm a bit of a brand freak... don't ask me why... well, maybe it's because i grew up poor 😂, but now I can afford a branded product, I choose that...
Thanks you...I am hoping to get out on track ASAP so trying to get things moving, although with a 5 week old baby it has it's challenges
After a 15 page read this morning on the "Fatty's Induction Thread" I think I'm going to purchase the pipe, get it satin black like someone else has done, It...
Hi guys, I've been through the last 15 pages and not seen anyone using a K&N Air Filter.
I've always liked the way they sound, but is there a reason why people aren't using them?
SMALL UPDATE
I have ordered a cheap and cheerful Heat Gun for the sound deadening.
I have some AutoSmart Tardis, but I shall need to see the Autosmart guy for some more as i think its going to get rather sticky
Also, It'll be nice and warm whilst doing it this weather rather than the dry Ice...
personally, Unless you are going to do a FULL restoration of this car and keep it as a "MINTER" (although its been written off) then I don't see any point in fixing this car, regardless of sentimental value
In terms of these Coilovers, I know you've not been out on track with them yet, but do you feel that they would be a great "Just Track Car" setup.
I've just googled the price of them and Demon Tweeks have them at £653
I think these are a contender for me :smile:
Also why did you go with a Spax...
CHRIST!!!!
That was a seriously long old read! 59 pages and about 3 hours (in fact probably a lot more) I've been sat here having a butchers at this thread 😂😂
I Mean, I know I am currently in need of inspiration, but this.... Patience of a SAINT!
I am rather hoping this...
