fmp - Less Is More - 01 Impreza STI

[mphgoose]

Wow man, im not normally a massive fan of scoobys but that looks awesome! The lack of rear spoiler and v. 8 front end make it 10x the car it was stock!

 

[fmp_]

some nice toys, i know how much them nuts are lol! someone is making ££ especially with the brides too lol!

convert it to rwd! dare ya lol

Heard there is big money to spend getting them RWD, but would be fun!!

Is this one or your old one white with a black fin on it and do you go past Barnham / Woodgate ??????

Nope, thats another Spec-C.

Outstanding Effort


You got Richard Bulmer to work the lump ?

Zen did the remap etc on the engine so far, but they have stopped doing mechanical work now, only mapping.

So will start looking at engine upgrades at end of this year, either get Richard or the Engine Tuner guys to do it.

Not sure if i should go mild with a Tomei 2.1 stroker, ex mani & ARMS Turbo, or re-mortgage the house and go Cosworth 2.6l, Dry Sump and dirty sized turbo! lol

Keep checking those nuts are tight. Keep reading about Ti one's coming loose.

Will do, thanks for the tip

And thanks to everyone else for the nice words

[fil_b]

any updated pics?

 

[fmp_]

fitting seats tomorrow is weather is all good!

will do pics

 

[Keith185]

Great work and looks awsome. Imprezas look much better imo without the rear spoiler.

 

[Martin]

wow great work, I was cringing thinking of the ££££ spent for you lol Love it though..

 

[cander08]

an absolute cracker. love the no spoiler look. the keys racing wheel is a beauty

 

[Moby]

fmp_ - are you on iwsti.com ?

'Members Journals' are ideal of these sorts of threads.

 

[fmp_]

Pics are uplaoding from todays work!

Moby - i am not, go on NASIOC a bit. will check out iwsti.com!

 

[fmp_]

Ok, so today i did a few bits!

First job was to fit my new Bride Vios III seats. You may notice they are black fabric, not graduation like my previous post. This is due to being sent the wrong colour. The correct graduation cushions are on thierway to me, so i can have a choice of what to run!

Anyways, passenger seat, with subframes:

Subrames attached:

Passenger seat removed:

Two mins later, seat fitted!

And then driver side fitted:

Really impressed with the fit and quality, driving position is a bit lower, and seats hold you really well!

Next job on the list was fitting a new hazard switch. Normal Impreza's come with a balck switch, but the special editions, such as S202, S203, S204, RA-R etc came with a super JDM red button. So sourced one from Japan. A bit anal.... but its all about the fine detail!

Regular switch:

JDM Bling switch:

Final job was to fit my new wheel nuts.

Scabby old standard items:

more JDM bling:

And whilst working on the car, took a few under body shots of the various Cusco braces i run (with appearances from Ganador Titanium exhaust and APR diffuser!!)

Thank you please!

Sweet! Which company is that?

I get all my JDM bling from www.rhdjapan.com . always good prices, and have a good selection of parts.

If you wanna share the wealth with that sponsorship.... let me know!

I sent my door cards and rear seat to D:Class Automotive today, Bride retrim... Ballin'!!

 

[dalla]

Very nice. What are you able to adjust on that electronic coil over thing?

advertising lol! new company just started... they want sponsorship cars, for a year i have their sticker on my windscreen and go on their stand at shows and they provide me with stuff either at biiiig discounts or 5 finger discount style lol!

atm i can get 20% off of anything from japan...

like i got them to chuck a quote at me for a full set of feed wings... front and rear, retail with shipping is over 1k, for the sponsorship plus a bit extra discount with shipping it was just over half price...

 

[MaLicE]

oh and vts saxo... fduk is free...

 

[vts_saxo]

oh and vts saxo... fduk is free...

Free to register but you only get access to about 2% of the site, cant find any good rx7 forums, only rx7club

The sponsorship sounds great, are you going to get it look great before chasing big power?

I am looking at getting the boost turned up a little at the moment, 1 bar isnt cutting it!

 

[MaLicE]

you dont pay for fduk if you go on the forums, there is a new user bit it tells you how to get full access... you just have to do it propperly...

 

[fmp_]

Fitted my Kakumei spoiler today, nice subtle little one:

 

[Djw John]

Nice but lose that rear wiper! Sticks out like a sore thumb! Love the car though

 

[fmp_]

yeah wiper will be going, which is a shame, as they are only specced on JDM models.... so will lose some of my JDM'ness!! lol
