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

[PovertyRS]

Proper tidy car mate!

Just been reading through start to finish.

Quick question though, if just under 600hp is your aim, how comes you used such a big turbo? A gtx3076r would give about the same power but spool alot earlier? Or am I missing something with scoobies?

 

[Lawro]

Bat s**t crazy!

 

[Mr R.]

Epic, fooking Epic!!!!

 

[Jason_E]

Jesus titty f**king christ that moves, and sounds awesome!

Not missing a thing mate. When I bought my 35R the GTX turbos were untested and all a bit hit and miss. Turbo technology has moved on and it's on my "to do" list to swap to a SC billet 3076. However I've just purchased a house that needs renovation, so while the car works, I can be bothered to spend money on swapping the turbo. But you're right, the 30 GTX, will now do what my 35 does. I'm just lazy. Lol

 

[frayz]

All being well she will be at CSS tomorrow.

[Tunst]

[Baylis]

[Tunst]

Not suprised you won tbh..

As im sure iv said before.. Cars a real credit to you!

 

[frayz]

Cheers chaps. Although I don't really know what else was there (non Clio) as I was too busy with planes.

I was probably the only car

 

[leeds_182]

Judging by the picture I'd say there was at least another scooby.

 

[frayz]

That was he Giraffe wagon. Belongs to my mate Rob who forgot his wash bucket

 

[Dano']

So glad I got to see this car In the flesh (well metal) haha i was the welsh bloke that stopped to talk to you while you we're giving it a quick clean really nice to meet you bud, cheers for talking to me

 

[McGherkin]

Managed to say hi as you were driving in, but by the time I was able to come and look at the car you'd gone :dapprove:

​Absolutely every bit as good in the flesh as it is on here. Epic, epic machine, well done.

 

[domsclio182]

Had a good look at this, very nice car

 

[Mr R.]

Nice to have met you mate, cars epic.

We where chatting at the services.

Scott.

 

[frayz]

Great to have met all you guys too. Thanks for all the kind comments and all that came and chatted to me.
Was great to see so many nice Clios too, I just wish I'd spent as much time on the cars as I did on the planes. Lol.

Hopefully our paths will cross again and we can have a good chat.

 

[McGherkin]

Lol, it turned out that yours was the only car I deemed worthy of photographing at CSS!

 

[StephenJ]

Had a quick poke round this at bishops on Saturday, certainly looks a weapon!

That's one word for Frayz... bit harsh but probably about right.

HA... the rainclouds washed it for me about 3 times on Saturday. :rasp:

 

[frayz]

But it was still dirty Rob

Cheers for the props guys.

Well after 9 years my cars worn gold wheels of some sort.


It's was time for a change so I took quite a big punt on these. Always anxious of the murdered out black on black look. But I must say, so far I quite like it.
So far I think it makes the car look pretty brutal even when stationary. Also swapped to small stone guards rather than full mudflaps for a less rally look.


I need to get these Goodyears off and my own tyres on, and tempted to change the colour.


What do we think?


RAYS Volk Racing CE28N 18x8, ET44 ltd edition diamond black.


Sorry for the quick phone pics, I'll get out and take some good ones soon as I can.

[Jack-C]

I agree with you I usually really hate the black on black look but on this car it just works.

The new wheels look fantastic and they really suit the car.

Very nice indeed.

 

[McGherkin]

Mmmmmm, lovely!

 

[Waitey]

Weird I was just thinking about this car the other day.

 

[Philip.]

Sweet baby jesus, dem wheels!

Looks fantastic!

 

[Mr R.]

Epic car, cheers for the up date mate.

 

[Advikaz]

Very nice pal!

 

[imprezaworks]

Saw the update on SN. This car is simply awesome.

 

[George182]

Looks fantastic!

 

[frayz]

Cheers gents. I know I broke a lot of hearts selling the Speedlines.

 

[Darren S]

LOVE the wheels. Dare I ask roughly what they cost you? Or is that wince-inducing to bring that price back up?!

How do you rate the F1's? They were a great tyre on the Evo for me, but even with just daily driving, I was surprised at how quickly they wore down.

I didn't buy them new. The cheapest I can find them is $850 per rim in the US. Then you need to add duty and vat. So probably around £3k by time they get here.
I paid £1500 as they are and the Goodyears are going. I'll be putting my Michelin Pilot Super Sports back on these rims. The Goodyears just don't have the grip. I took her for a quick test drive on Thursday and she would easily break traction in 2nd in the dry. The Suoer Sports will do that but you have to be either in the wet or you really provoke them in the dry.

 

[imprezaworks]

Bare in mind your car is pretty darn quick

 

[frayz]

It's the 520lbsft that does it. Lol

 

[Mr R.]

[imprezaworks]

Lol

 

[Craig]

They really suite it. The car looks amazing mate

 

[_Tom]

Looks great. I still love that exhaust too. Best performance exhaust I've seen on a impreza.
