its ok i dont get offended, i was going to buy a blobeye one for my car when i took the prodrive one off but had this one given to me and never got around to changing it, i think its from a bug sti.

im bloody going to now though

 

The one I have coming now is the same as Ty's with red STI logo below the pattern layout,they look great!

 

not this one is it??
i considered buying one but couldnt work out if they were genuine parts or not

That's the one mate,I will let you know if it's genuine or not,I'll be the guinea pig

 

i did wonder, it looks like the genuine packaging behind it, but one from japan is £90 quid.

i assume tys is original.

at least you can swap the ***** over before giving his car back if its a fake

 

My thought's exactly mate

 

Lol thats the one I used 2 seasons ago was John Stevenson's.
Take it you dont need the buddy club seat rails now?

 

No probs just off to wrap it up now

 

Yeah it will be a good manifold to use for sure Archie,yeah I sourced the rail after bud

 

Good man

 

Too bloody right it's original, I'm no cheapskate pikey who buys copy parts.

I've marked everything with an ultra violet marker pen, I know what you apple crunching scrumpy drinkers are like.

 

It's official I do have a genuine part

 

Car finished yet, Ryan?

It must be, I've been to the post office.

 

Fair play but about time lol,I'll get it sorted asap when it lands Micky

 

Cheers Ryan, much appreciated mate.

 

That's the same one as I have too,
Good quality ****

 

I have been thinking long and hard over the past week and truthfully as much it pains me I may be bringing the project to a draw if work demands do not change as I can't even get to look at my car let alone work on it and it is really beginning to frustrate me.

 

Not good Ryan....take a busman's holiday and get it sorted

 

Ryan, my car was off the road for two years, saving up, getting parts and having it built. I think Frayz's was that kind of time too, and I'm sure there are many many more cars that have taken an age to finish. Work comes first but I think your "spot-on" about having the car as an advert of your trade. Take your time and let it take as long as it takes. Don't let it get you down mate...

 

My car was out of action for over 3 years. Big builds built with real world budgets don't happen over night.
Look at RCMs budget and the Gobstopper 2 has been in build for approx 2 years.

When you aim high, rushing is not an option.

Rome wasn't built in a day matey

 

Just zip up your man-suit - at least you've got the foggy to run around in; I had a pug 306

 

Thanks guys it's nice to have some moral support,these's big builds are a real up and down cycle,it was only last weekend I was on top of the world after picking up my 6 speed setup but with all these's parts sitting around just staring at me I can't help feeling down not being able to just get on with it.

It doesn't help when I am doing so much work on members cars making there Impreza's look great and then looking back over at my old girl sat in the corner gathering dust and looking quite frankly sh!te at the moment

 

Stick with it mate

 

Man up

 

I completely understand where you're coming from Ryan. You need inspiration to keep you thinking to the future rather than the here and now. Is there any way of getting an hour or so to just do, fit or clean even the smallest item?. Do you get to drive your customers cars at all?.

 

Trouble is the jobs that need tackling first are one's that need more than an hour infront of you to even scratch the surface such as the engine bay smoothing and fuse box relocation/boot floor removal and flat alloy panel.

I drive most of the cars yes,when you strip a car right down you need to be sure there isn't any issue's before handing them back

 

You're on that bloody internet again, when you could be working on your car!!!

Just playing Ryan, people that graft need rest time.

If you weren't 262 miles away, I'd happily pop round for a few hours a day this week to help with mechanical stuff.

 

That's another issue Micky tbho,I only wish I could work more hours but 10-12 hours a day 6 days a week is as much as my body will allow!

I have perked myself up though about the job and it's defo a go and i have just today confirmed go ahead on a custom intercooler/radiator combo which will be fookin sick!!

Oh and your key is due back tomorrow as well mate

 

Oh and I'd gladly except the help if you weren't so far away and the thought is appreciated
