WR Mica Blue?

Anorak! Well spotted.

 

[BoatNonce]

Well it is half scooby lol.

 

[gtrnav]

Shiny bottom arm, complete with new anti-lift poly bushes.

 

[JackJack]

Excuse the noob question what's the anti lift kit?

 

[gtrnav]

Excuse the noob question what's the anti lift kit?

The rear bottom bush (the one at the top of the photo) is offset, angling the entire bottom arm down towards the front, which reduces the tendency of the Scooby suspension to lift the front wheels on launch, reducing the grip from the front end. Good question!

 

[gtrnav]

So, started to assemble things so I can turn it into a rolling shell ASAP after it comes from paint. Front subframe built....

 

[gtrnav]

Didn't think there was any need for an intro!

Amazing project, I've owned two Imprezas and still miss them badly (they cost so much to run!), this project is amazing...

[gtrnav]

Today I'm as happy as a dog with two dicks. Been to collect..............

 

[gtrnav]

And I decided before I went home, a start HAD to be made, so I bolted these on.......

 

[BoatNonce]

I'd be as happy as a dog with TEN dicks seeing that.

Thanks. Yes, got some nice Brembos newly painted the same colour as the roll cage.

 

[pearl172ph2]

Looks great. Cant wait to see the finished article. Carry on that man!

That was meant to be running not rubbing!

Should stop well then with the brembos.

Been able to have a little dabble with things this morning. Installed the pedal box (great having been able to weld in the studs and nuts for it, easy job), and had a play with where the reservoir pipes are going to run. May have to be a bit inventive, as they are a little long.

 

[gtrnav]

Spent the day today screwing bits together.......

 

[BoatNonce]

Mmm, progress. The rad is epic.

 

[gtrnav]

And the painter brought the calipers back too. Mmmmmm..........

Matching the roll cage. there's posh!
