Lol, cheers guys :)

Lol, cheers mate. Not much luck involved I'm afraid as I'm still yet to win the lottery. Just 8 years of time and effort to get it to this stage. :)

I've been cleaning some bits on the car in the sun this morning. Weather was too nice to miss.The engine bay still looks smart and it's been back on the road almost a year now. Couple of extra snaps of the exhaust shroud too.

New hardware looks much better. If it functions well then I may remove and paint black. Happy enough for now though.

Lol, I know exactly what you mean about getting on your tits. The Clio is like a Rolls Royce next to the impreza haha.

210bhp and 900kg sounds like a wicked laugh. I bet that's a fantastic drive. My Clio is a cup packed full fat with all the toys and still feels so agile. I used to be the same with entry speed right up to about 400bhp. The subaru chassis is very very good and you can get on the power early to...

Thanks mate. Make no mistake my impreza is a very quick car but the areas you can deploy this kind of power on the road is reasonably few and far between. I still maintain that a well driven 1*2 is a seriously quick A to B machine. Especially on a twisty country lane. The Clio is very very...

Gonna replace the horrid cap heads with some smooth buttons, to try and make it look less garish but it can't really be seen much from the rear of the car. I was sick and tired of my bumper melting from the radiant heat of the exhaust tip so decided to finally do something proper about it...

It's cringetastic isn't it. Lol

I don't know the cameraman so please excuse the narration lol A rare full tilt launch caught on camera. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIiVDLU_i0o&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Hey guys, Finally got the dash done, although this is a whole lot neater than having 3 in a hood and 3 up the a pillar im still quite tempted to ditch the lot in place of a single Toucan display. Nothing will be as instant on the eye for reading data than indevidual meters but a single screen...

Cheers, i got her last march with just 8k on the clock. Its my daily and goes everywhere. Shes been all over europe inc the nurburgring for 5 days and is now just on 30K. Its got both cup packs and is so nice to drive im reluctant to change anything. Love it :)

Couple of recent ones :) Completely stock full fat except turinis, RSRs and braided lines :)

I've put alot of time and effort into mate so I take care if it in the same way I would anything else. Thanks for the comments. :)

No I don't worry about it. I've built it to be engineered with all the best bits I can find and hopefully my attention to detail ensures that it will stay together. I also drive it with a degree of mechanical sympathy. You can't go around smashing gears and diffs etc. I've nothing to prove with...

Lol, a GT3 would be realistically as quick. When you own a moderately high power car you quickly realise the meaning of the word "useable". Lol. I own a stock FF 182, it's only mods being braided lines, brembo discs ad Federal RSRs. I drive it every single day and I absolutely love it. Next to...

Yes mate the Syvecs is absolutely superb, obviously there are cheaper alternatives but why skimp on the conductor of such an expensive orchestra? ;) in all honesty I don't know what my car owes me. Certainly more than anyone with half a brain should ever spend on a car. I've done it knowing...

Quite simply, it's the best ECU out there for the money. Syvecs is powering the fastest cars out there at the moment and it's a very very capable product. http://www.syvecs.com/

Around the £2k mark, fitted, mapped and dyno time inc sensors etc.

Modified stereo surround painted and in. Please excuse the dusty interior. She needs a clean.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Really appreciate it. In fact my alignment took no time at all due to everything being so easy to use. Half the fight of setting geometry is fighting with fasteners and siezed threads. Fortunately none of those under there :)

After fitting all the front end bits I went to get her geometry redone. I always go back to Damien @ Skidmarques in Hutton, Brentwood. Known him for a long time and he always does a proper job. Now got over 6 degrees of caster, toed out the rear a little too making the car rotate a little...

I've fitted it this morning as a final test piece. Just some panel gaps to clean and that's it. The pics don't really show how it looks but it changes the dash appearance completely. Now looks more like a cockpit haha. There will be at least one **** in there I hear you say. :D

Cheers Chip Bit more work done on the gauge pod, almost ready to paint.

Car performed fantastically at the ring. First lap in 3 years with a 90kg passenger, traffic and roadworks was a 9:40btg. Best part was I had loads of fun, lapped hard and it cost so much less than the impreza.

Lol, its bloody tomorrow FFS. Sorry guys, little late notice haha

Dont think an Impreza would be all that well received at a Clio day lol :)

No mate, not really my thing to be honest.

Treated the 182 to some love today. Her Turinis have had a gloss black colour change with new Federal RSRs and discs & pads. Even treated the old girl to a wash :)
