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

[frayz]

She's really starting to look something special now.

 

[Mr R.]

WOW, mate bloody amazing.

What colour is it all going to be? Body colour i take it? :smile:

 

[frayz]

She's really starting to look something special now.

 

[frayz]

It was all going black, now im not so sure. I have a few ideas.

 

[frayz]

Rear upper cross in today and diff carrier well under way.
I just love the look of the skinny 25mm tube. Gonna look amazing in paint.

 

[Mr R.]

Work of art that mate.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Will you be hanging a uniroyal tyre off the cage for a orang-utan to swing from? Lol! Proper climbing frame that! Looks great!

 

[frayz]

Haha. I don't think so.

 

[LIL B]

Cool. Looks like it'll handle the public highways now.

 

[frayz]

Yep. Little more and Id say she was ready for the school run.

 

[Lozza-p]

Wow just read the whole thread, This car looks amazing the cage is a work of art. Love the wrc plate too, Do prefer the gold wheels though :hearteyes:

 

[frayz]

The wheels will look a lot different after a colour change.

 

[Greeny.]

Woaha thats alot of metal in that car

 

[frayz]

Here they are.

S12B WRC items, and yes they're all made from one piece of metal.
The most beautiful a pillar gussets you'll ever see, they wrap around the tube as well as run back and forth.

 

[McGherkin]

Are you sure there's room in there for you after all that metalwork?

 

[frayz]

I don't care when it looks that sexy. Haha.

 

[Mr R.]

There's some serious hours gone into that cage mate, fook paying that bill. :blush:

Are they painting the inside while its there or are you getting it done once you bring the car home?

 

[Bluebeard]

Will you be hanging a uniroyal tyre off the cage for a orang-utan to swing from? Lol! Proper climbing frame that! Looks great!

Christ, showing your age there mate!

 

[frayz]

It's all being painted before it comes home. It will come home a new car.

 

[Dano']

Just wow

 

[NorthloopCup]

Christ, showing your age there mate!

Lol! Young at heart though mate!

 

[Bluebeard]

Lol! Young at heart though mate!

You're as young as the woman you feel!

(Shame mines 4 years older)

 

[NorthloopCup]

You're as young as the woman you feel!

(Shame mines 4 years older)

Flol! I'm in a bit of luck then! Mines a year younger than me!

 

[frayz]

Mines a whole 3 years younger than me. I'm marrying her in September.
She actually encourages me and loves the car. Hence I put a diamond on her hand haha.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Yep. Little more and Id say she was ready for the school run.

You've not gone and knocked her up, have you mate ?

 

[frayz]

Haha. No chance of that yet Rob.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Haha. No chance of that yet Rob.

Still got your V's ? Didn't realise this was public knowledge.

Anyway the car - looks mint. Will get you some luck with the ladies

When's it due back ?

 

[frayz]

Dunno mate. It's done when it's done.
Told Dave to do whatever it needs.

 

[frayz]

570 mile round trip to see Dave at DM Motorsport today and catch up with the fabrication work on my old shed. I have to say, the photos really don't do his work justice. In the metal it looks even more bonkers than I knew it would be.
Also picked up my carbon doorcards and discussed the rest of the items to be done.

I can't wait to see her in paint.

 

[Jekyll]

Holy sh*t!

 

[Dan.AS]

Wow that's some cage that is. Hats off to the bloke/s that crammed it all in.

 

[Philip.]

Not sure if car, or children's climbing frame....

Bloody awesome mate!!

 

[frayz]

Either way works

 

[frayz]

Further gusset work inside. The interior fabrication is nearing completion now.

 

[DaveDreads]

I don't think BTCC cars are this well engineered.

 

[jamesycc]

Nice work. Chuckled at the word gusset though :tongueclosed:

 

[Dafydd]

Looks great. What kind of cost is this likely to carry ?

 

[Matt Cup]

Looks awesome!

What's with the offset harness bars, will the passenger be sitting a lot lower than the driver like a rally co-driver?

Exactly that Matt

 

[Matt e]

Something ive wanted for ages but never found a solution was a front splitter to fit the Prodrive edition front bumper. I've a few ideas and the first one of those ideas arrived today.

Genuine WRC dry carbon composite tarmac lip. Think this could look pretty sexy riveted to the front end.

Can I ask where you got the splitter from?
