Frayz's 550bhp+ Prodrive edition Impreza build...

[montana]

Nice one Frayz, saw this in the flesh at prodrive recently - very very nice example

Some people are so special.

Guys, if you doubt it's even worth £25k, as already said - go buy a Blobeye and do this yourself, and see how much it costs you.

Mods are never worth as much when you come to sell, but from 60k to 25k, that's a hell of a drop!

This is a Bugeye

This is a Bugeye

This is no ordinary Bugeye

This is no ordinary Bugeye

This is the greatest Bugeye...IN THE WORLD.

 

[jesus]

No but it's still a Bugeye! One of the less retarded looking ones I must admit. I do like the STi ones.

 

[JD]

Christ, just shows that modding cars provides no return! I regret spending 3k on my Clio!

I love the car, money no object I'd buy it, good luck with the sale.

How does one set about insuring a modification list such as that one? Do you need to go through specialist insurance or something?

 

[frayz]

I'm insured with Keith Michaels and yes every modification is declared.
You just send them a full spec list. It's really no problem to insure.

Bomber got a new setup today.
Finally starting to find a setup I like. Ill drive her for a bit and make some tweeks to the dampers, possibly raise the rear ride height slightly. Then maybe a few slight alterations on the day.
Should be fun

I'm no racer so don't care about posting my setup:


KW Variant 3 dampers
Ride height front 350mm
Ride heigh rear 335mm
Bump front 7
Rebound front 7
Bump rear 7
Rebound rear 8


Front 22mm ARB soft
Rear 22mm ARB hard


Caster 6.1 degrees
Toe front -0.10min
Camber front 2.3 degrees
Toe rear -0.20min
Camber rear 2.3degrees

On the way, 4th gear roll on at approx 50mph. (Vpower only 525bhp)

LOL at only 525 bhp. Lovely machine mate sounds an absolute beast in that video.

 

[BoatNonce]

Still epic.

 

[Šįk]

Great machine. Good luck with the sale. But if I were you, just keep it and treasure it.

 

[leeds_182]

Quick!

 

[.GAZ.]

Flying machine!

 

[jesus]

Perfect.

 

[Jack-C]

Sounds so sweet in that vid. Stunning car. I always enjoy reading your updates

 

[frayz]

Cheers guys, chassis feels much better. Although I've still got a lot to dial in, I feel like its a good base to work from now.

 

[Pep]

I enjoyed listening to your mates laugh than the car....!

Edit, love it though.

You probably make the same sound when you press the accelerator in that thing!

 

[frayz]

Might try an get it along to CSS this year if I can.

 

[BoatNonce]

PLEASE DO.

 

[at3k-]

Love it and doesn't half go like stink, prefer these over blob eyes anyday :approve:

 

[Lawro]

Just read this from start to finish.. Huge respect to you, attention to detail is simply brilliant it's such a credit to you.

 

[frayz]

Thanks, it's been a huge amount of work.
If any of you are Essex based, I'm part of the Essex Subaru Owners Club and our monthly meet is tomorrow in Little Badddow, near Chelmsford.
I don't know much about the Clio meets, maybe I should take it one day.

 

[frayz]

Just purchased my CSS tickets

 

[jesus]

I wasn't planning on going to CSS but I think I might have to now!

 

[BoatNonce]

Just purchased my CSS tickets

Bringing the wife to the nerdfest ?

 

[frayz]

Lol. Yeah she wants to come. Mainly for the Duxford museum. Lol

 

[binksy]

Wow long read but worth it really starting to miss my scooby now. Welldone mate lovely car

 

[frayz]

My custom Essex Subaru Owners Club shirt arrived today.
Had my car graphic put on the back, came out pretty good. Ive also got 6 litres of Motul 300V competition sitting downstairs ready for her 3k mile oil change. Think ill do that tomorrow

 

[Strell]

Just seen that vid. Man it flies!!!
I want one.

 

[frayz]

Something I've been meaning to do for a while but not got around to it.
Made up a little polycarbonate under vent shield for when the weathers bad. Initially the polycarbonate one was to be used as a template for either aluminium or carbon. But since fitted I think this looks quite cool.
Spaced from the vent so still allows heat to escape while protecting the motor from the bulk of rainwater when stationary. The depression created above the vent keeps water out on the move.
Held in with some nice alloy M5 button heads to keep the look neat.

 

[ch!ppen]

Nice touch, that... It's the little things that make a nice car a really nice car.

 

[Lawro]

This thing is perfection! So much kudos..

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Just had a wee scan through your thread mate, amazing!

 

[frayz]

Zero traction in 1st gear, hooks up in 2nd. 525bhp, no LC or ALS.
