Default I'm back in the Subaru fold

I picked up my new toy on Saturday but it needed a wash before I could take photos and I had some jobs to do on it first.

Tonight I managed to get it washed so I took some photos I got some funny looks washing it with a broken ankle but who cares













new steering wheel, it needs a clean but I had to add my touch and I don't like the standard Nardi



front Brembo's



and rears



I've only driven it 2 miles but the brakes feel good

No I still have the M3, it's in my garage without tax on it because I can't drive it My fault for buying the manual

Neither had I and I think it carries it off really well, I think it should have rear handles but I'll have to live with it.

bubble trouble

Lovely motor Paulo, that colour looks better on the classic than on the WR1

What mods does it have? Interested to see no gauges inside yet running a FMIC

It's difficult to say exactly what is under the bonnet because there is a lack of paperwork with it, I can see that it has 440cc sti injectors if it isn't an sti engine, an HKS induction kit, de-cat downpipe and an HKS exhaust system. It also has an Apexi power FC but I am waiting to get an AVCR & a Z32 MAF & ported headers before I get it remapped

The bodywork isn't all that good Tony because the front and rear arches have been cut so that the wheels clear and somebody has removed the rear door handles, I'm going to keep it for a while and have some fun in it then I'll break it for parts

It's got a mix of P1 and WR1 bits on it It works well together on a classic, it just needs the power to back it up.

I know a girl had it and sold it a couple of months ago, it does need bodywork but considering the age it isn't worth doing so I plan to break it when I've finished with it, shame it doesn't look as good in the flesh as it does in pictures but it does look good when it's clean.

Fitting the one on the Cosworth wasn't much fun but that was because we also did the clutch, this should a straight forward swap and you know how to remove the rear diff from a scoob
