Damn, must be Facebook settings. Will have to get it bluetoothed to me tomorrow, then I will post it here.

Been following this thread for ages, was really eager to see/hear it driving!

Absolutely awesome work, cant wait to see the next video of it!

Even my magic subaru guru is having trouble getting it to run on all four cylinders. Puzzling. Short wait till we get it sorted. Got to use Plan B, and take my Impreza to the hillclimb in France next weekend. Hoping for Tregrehan on 7th and 8th June as a debut now. Bloody cars!

It's part french. What did you expect!

I didn't realise you had an Impreza of your own? Should take a V-Storm

No V Storm to take at the moment!

Mine's the one on the left.

 

[McGherkin]

Have to put an order in then

Anything special on that or fairly standard?

 

[gtrnav]

Bog standard mint condition STi version 4. An appreciating asset, so will be driving it very carefully LOL! :approve:

Off to Roscoff from Plymouth tonight, so I will wave as I head towards Millbay Docks.

 

[McGherkin]

Don't stuff it!

And have fun in France mate

 

[gtrnav]

Well guys, finally.
Tammy and I drove the Cliopreza for the firsrt time at Truro & District Motor CLubs Tregrehan Hillclimb last weekend.
We had a few teething problems, as expected.
Unable to get more than a base map in the car, as the standard Subaru water pump isn't man enough to circulate coolant to the rad, so an electric pump is being fitted right now.
Handling and stopping is beyond expectations, despite only guesswork on the set up.
No video as I didn't really have time to get to grips with the new driftcam.
Some pics for you though...

Amazing mate! Cant wait to see it in action. If you do still decide to take it to llandow make sure you keep me posted! Congrats it looks the nuts

 

[incy-spider]

Awesome build, loved reading through this. I know people keep banging on about it but that bonnet would just finish it off!

 

[Z1gZa]

What a monster! Love it

The alternator fouls it IIRC.

You can buy an alternator relocation kit which is what they fit when reversing the inlet manifold to shorten front mount inter cooler pipe work.

That's similar to the solution I'm working on at the moment.

 

[j-k]

Thought that one was cheap enough too. But if you have the skills to fabricate it yourself, then FairPlay to you.

 

[gtrnav]

Collecting the car from Enginetuner tomorrow, all mapped and ready to head off to Brecon Motor Club's Epynt hillclimb this weekend. Will see if I can find an 8 year old to operate the new drift cam for me!

 

[debussetti]

Such a weapon, I love it!

Are you going to castle hillclimb on the 13th of July?

 

[gtrnav]

yup, be there competing both Saturday and Sunday.

 

[tomhunt85]

Just read from start to finish, bat s**t crazy but love it.

 

[McGherkin]

I've just seen a video from Epynt of this.

The burble is epic.

Congrats Neil on the class win too!

 

[gtrnav]

Here we go folks, the first videos of the car in action. Fantastic weekend at Brecon MC's Epynt Hillclimb. Not too sure the congrats are in order, Callum, I was the only one in the class

[Heez]

Looks so cool! So glad to see it running proper now!

"It's a silly idea, but it seems to work". No Mr announcer, it is an epic idea! "He can always go on to bigger and better things". Yep, 50Obhp but keeping the same car!

Well done fella, awesome!

 

[Flat Eric]

I love it! I bet it shifts!

Ask any racer, any real racer. It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile; winnings winning.

Using an RA box with DCCD at the moment, but there are plans afoot...

My mate (Matt, bloke with glasses and about 8 teeth in his entire head) and his kids saw you at the weekend. Said they spoke to you too and you were a very nice man!

They also said your daughter is a good driver and the car sounded better than anything there!
