danposs86 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 If you do a track day, try and find one that is for experienced track day goers, or one towards the end of the month as there are less idiots that go to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 Nope, no stereo at all, no creature comforts, not even a heater. Pure driving machine and nowt else! Once the shell is completed (we're getting there now, it's just a case of getting it ready for paint) things should start to move along nicely in terms of putting the thing together.

KNITERIDER Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 fair enough are there any more time consuming bits to wait for? or is it bolt it on then start getting the engine in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 fair enough are there any more time consuming bits to wait for? or is it bolt it on then start getting the engine in? Nothing really time consuming now, in terms of "outside" jobs. Just a few more smaller ones. Still got a fair shopping list, which as much as I'd like to go out and buy in one go, just ain't possible! I'm swapping all the running gear and suspension set-up to STi 10 (last of the saloon shaped STi's before the new hatch), including the 6spd gearbox, DCCD, prop, driveshafts, hubs etc etc etc, so will have to source that lot. But yeah, not long before I can switch my attentions to the mechanical side of things, which I'm looking forward to now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) how come? wasnt u using a cossie set up of some sort? or was it the older impreza set up you were using? whats the benefits? either way im VERY jealouse...and because it changes so much whats the expected finish date? next year?

Stu Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 The bottom half of the car is impreza.. not cossie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 It should be all done next year sometime, can't put a precise date on it by a long way. As said, a classic shape Impreza was used for the donor for the tunnel etc as it was cost effective, uber-clean WRX wagon for £750, re-coup more than double that selling bits off it and still have quite a bit left. Never wanted the engine/gearbox or anything out of it, was always going to swap for something out of a later car. The important thing is it will all fit without toooooooooo much work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 ELX Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 looks wicked mate cant wait to see it all in one color. and like i said before once you come to the mechanical and electrical side of things give me a shout will come and get my hands dirty or ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
