But you know it's worth it

Looks good

You're only down the road from me as well, might have to sneak a look if it's at central subaru

Has it had much use or is it still work in progress?

hi miles,,by all means come down and have a look,,
work is still in progress at the moment as you can see from the latest pics on my site theres still a bit to do,,but mainly small jobs that are time consuming,,the engine isnt in yet but hopefully will be built soon,,,everythings there but we have to put it together.

Hi BuzzerboyRoy, Everytime I go into Scooby Central I see you working on it, Saw you there a few weeks ago and I didnt want to bother you as you looked like you working on the wiring or something, but nice to see it up and running anyway.

How about ERL water injection are you allowed to use that, Was thinking of getting that for my car ever since we've had this warm weather, my car has felt slow, and like the sound of water injection.

yes i can use water injection ,but it can cause a few problems believe it or not.
i have heard that after using water injection(which is good as it stops pinking,,,and helps stop lean conditions which is bad)it can leak

now,,,this can happen,,,and after talking to a few rally teams it causes them problems moreso overnight i believe.
where when the engine is turned off,,the water left in the pipes causes a capilary action,leaking past the injectors,,filling the inlet headers,,filling the heads,,etc of water !!!

its happened to them,,and i have been warned of the problem,but i cant see why a simple non return valve can't sort this out????

come down and see me and i will tell you more about it before you spend your cash !

nice car,,is it an ra ?

i agree about the sidetracked bit,,i always end up doing other things than the car.

i ordered the brake bias pedal box today with x2 master cylinders and remote filling pots,,,nice piece of kit,, along with a cable adjuster to help stop the darn thing.
the white speedline 17"alloys should be here on wednesday,,it should look real nice with those on tarmac events.

i converted 8 for my car but rear arches still need flaring to clear the offset

i made my own bias box just need some big 4 pots to fit under my 15" forest rims
guy with the speedlines also had about 30 mag 6-15's if you need any pm me
got my forest tyres last week for practiseing on first forest event will be girzedale
my skylines now done so its full speed ahead on the rallycar in the next few weeks

Both of these look great and are local to me too. I'm gonna have to sneak a peak.

I'm building a WRC style scooby based on a Type RA shell too but it's more for show purpose than to compete with, i'm too worried at damaging something that has cost me so much to put together, Hats off to you guys tho.

I may need to pick your brains on a couple of things if you dont mind.

Chris.

by all means come down and have a chat and i will try and help you out.
its quite easy to do a replica car as you dont need to do all the welding and strenghtening to the body or move the fuel lines/brake lines/wiring.
let me know when you are comming down though as somtimes i am not down the unit.

Roy, i'm back with the motivation again to sort my car and it's getting there slowly.

I have a couple of questions for you tho if you dont mind.....

Where did you get your Dash covered as i'm also after the Alcantara covering for the rally car look.

Also did i see an external fuel pump set up by your tank ? it's someting i think that i have got to get done, is it easy enough ?

Thanks
Chris.
