Big thanks guys, kind words indeed. Droplinks now on with sleeker hardware to give clearance under droop. It's all looking rather "Purpellow" under here. Lol.

Some parts back from coat along with new roll centre adjusting ball joints and track to ends. Billet anti lift kit and front Droplinks.

Hi mate. Yes it would be easier and lighter to leave it off but Subaru put it there to reinforce the front of the car during a collision and it's helps tie everything together. I think the car is of more benefit with it than without. Cheers for the kind words :)

Dropped the front end underpinnings off for a jolly up last night. Some parts have gone for powdercoat others I've freshened up with paint. Lower arms off Lower arms cleaned and rebuilt with new poly bushes. Crash brace got a coat of satin black before it goes back on. Also my...

Lol at everyone hating the front plate. Fair enough, its not pretty but honestly does look better in the metal. Gives it a real rally edge to it when looking at it. I wanted a stock size/font plate and on the bumper it covers far too much of the intercooler and looks hideous. This was my only...

Owen, In short, custom built 2.5ltr, GT35R, Syvecs ECU Power and torque capped at 573bhp 520lbsft.

Well guys its been a good 4 years since ive taken any photos of the car other than her build thread. We've all had a tough time with the lack of summer this year so with the rarity of the sun shining this morning i took the car out for a drive and got some photos. Some of you will know the car...

Hopefully heading in the right direction now.

Little update of the vent pod. First design had the meters sunk in and all ran at a gradual slope bias the driver. This looked okay but wasn't that great to look at from the drivers seat. It looked like this. So then I had the idea of pulling them further out and now individually...

Fire suppression system now complete. Jets are hidden in the scuttle. One directed at the turbo side and one at my fuel side. Can barely even notice its there. :) Now spot the jets :) Out of sight and hopefully never to be required.

New pod has gone in and looks/fits great. Also finally got my bonnet back. :)

Extinguisher all plumbed in cabin side, bracket made and cable fitted. Also the second of my interior pieces is nearly done. Still in primer, but fits nice.

Spent the morning tidying up wiring and generally making parts cleaner to use and nicer to get to should I need to at a later date. Also got the tank bolted up. I went to get a nice bulkhead fitting today which will allow me to do all the plumbing in the car while the dash is out. Then I can...

A couple of my parts needed reflocking after 6 years but in fear of a poor colour match on the new VS old I decided to rip it all out and start again. Also a nice opportunity to tidy wiring and run the extinguisher pipework with the dash now out of the way. :)

Gold wheels are a big no no on almost all cars. The Williams and the Subarus are about the only 2 that can pull them off with the exception of a split BBS rim on a well styled ride. Ive often thought about swapping the wheel colour, but as the car is i quite like them. The Black/Gold works well...

Some of you know the inside is having a few changes and a freshen up. First to arrive is an all new bespoke made gauge pod for the dash top that aims 3 meter at the driver. This has been made from the original clock housing so fitment is OEM. View from my drivers seat. My previous...

Lol, feel free to move it? Where am I supposed to put photos? :-/

Thought id share some of my snaps from Saturdays Goodwood Festival of Speed. I go every year and never tire of experiencing the sights and sounds these amazing cars and bikes. Nice to see some old favourites, some of which i had to get some pics of myself with, inc Rod Millens 1000+bhp Pikes...

Got a new addition for the car today. 4ltr Lifeline fully plumbed in extinguisher. This is in addition to the 2.25ltr handheld extinguisher in front of the passenger seat.

Bonnet requires polishing, final fitting and a number plate but I think she looks pretty hardcore now. :)

Quick snap now it all done on the exterior. Bonnet removed and stripped for paint. Now sporting the full on street racer look. Tempted to go for a Fast & Furious style drive. Haha.

Lol, what do you wanna see?

Cheers guys. Couple more bits to do and she's ready for some paint. Mesh is just test fitted for now.

Took the old girl out for a drive last Saturday and upon coming home I gave her the usual inspection. Found some oil mist on my inner wing that I identified as PAS fluid. On investigating further I found that my HP PAS line was leaking a small amount of fluid through the core of the hose. I...

A little ALS video for you. Frayz-Engineering STI Anti-Lag Test - YouTube

Hopefully soon mate. It's being prepped for paint at the mo. Then I'll cut the bonnet and can get it welded and painted.

Saturday she got a polish up :)

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...

Cheers for all the kind comments guys. It basically was kept as a collectors piece... I now use it every day and absolutely love it. :)

Thanks for the positive feedback guys :)
