Re: My turbo
 

I see the bug has started :doubleup: I thought you weren't gona down the wheels just yet :whistle: :lol:

Re: My turbo
 

They are then ones i wanted and the only set i have seen so just had to go for it :doubleup:

Re: My turbo
 

Nice one Wez, best 17's for a Scoob IMHO.
Should be fairly easy to tidy too...so will they be done Silver or Anthracite ????
Get 4 prodrive logo off ebay to whack on a spoke and will look v.nice

Here's one of my old ones. The Prodrive logo needs to be the correct font for the period. The current one is a thinner font

When you collect the wheels make sure they have the metal inserts mounted where the wheel nuts fit. This allows you to use stndard Subaru wheelnuts.
If they havn't they are not Genuine Prodrive supplied items, but Speedline supplied.
If they do not have the inserts you will need to get a set of Speedline Nuts which have the correct flange/taper.

The wheels are the same, just Prodrive/Subaru ensured the inserts where fitted for us with Subaru wheelnuts.

Re: My turbo
 

see this link : http://bbs.scoobynet.com/general-techni ... where.html

Funny enough I posted on here too... Mike Woods actually works at Prodrive and is involved/was invlolved in such upgrades.

another : http://bbs.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyres-b ... -nuts.html

it sounds like you just need to either call speedline or try a 'regular' non subaru set of nuts.

when I had a gold set of ST-2's these did not have the insert and hence came with a new set of nuts to suite.

Re: My turbo
 

Thanks mate they have the metal inserts but as it says on the threads you have posted they only use the bottom half of the taper so give the appearance of not fitting.Sorry for the poor pic's,the wheels are better then i expected very little curbing and mostly paint peel the pic is of the worse one.

Re: My turbo
 

Would look great on my wagon :10: Does it affect the handling of the front end much?

Loving the Capri by the way, I owned for a short time a 2.0L S MK II running about 150bhp :doubleup:

Re: My turbo
 

Update to daylight pic.I like the gold with the blue so think thats the colour they will stay :doubleup:

Went out to Culverwells Subaru today and round the bends at Whatlington it felt a lot more planted to the road.

I have not noticed any difference with the splitter and to be honest got it because it matches the rest of the trim and even's it up.

Re: My turbo
 

Very nice :doubleup:

Re: My turbo
 

Nice :doubleup: Your gona have to change your profile pic now :nod:

Re: My turbo

Where has the standard car i brought gone :norty:

Re: My turbo
 

Very nice. :doubleup:

The car park near Tescos, just of Castleham if I am not mistaken. :nod:

Re: My turbo
 

mmmmmm could be :10:

Re: My turbo
 

Well it's come a long way in a short time.The bug has bitten and had to play just had the front painted to get rid of the key marks and fog covers painted at the same time.Then went on the prodrive spoiler (Thanks for the tip Scott :doubleup: ) so just the Apexi to fit and have mapped.So i think i have covered most of the mod's de-cat system,filter,apexi,rebuilt brakes,rear arb and links,st-2's,sti 6 splitter,Prodrive spoiler plus lot's of bit's :oops: :oops: The budget form the capri has gone now but i am very pleased with how the Impreza has come out.

Re: My turbo
 

Looking Good Wez, you just can't beat a set of ST2's complimented with a Prodrive WR Spoiler.
V.nice......looks just like mine did a few years back....

Re: My turbo
 

Well it has come together quickley and i have been very lucky to find all the bit's at good prices.I am hopeing with the few Capri bit's i have still to sell i can get enough together to have the wheels refurbed :doubleup:

Re: My turbo
 

Had a bit of a engine clean up to day.Not mint but i am just going to take my time with it fitted the new sound proofing,painted the grill/intercooler covers and put on my bit's of bling.

Re: My turbo
 

Loving the car matey :10: , where did you get the front splitter from if you don't mind me asking?

Also love the RB5 spoiler, got one of those on mine, they just look the part...

Re: My turbo
 

Hi the spoiler is a genuine Subaru one think it was £138 when i got it.Looks like they have gone up a bit
http://http://www.scoobyparts.com/ac...OILER.html

The spoiler is a Prodrive WR one which took some finding.

Re: My turbo
 

Looking really nice mate :10:

Re: My turbo
 

Thanks i have been very lucky to be able to get how i want it so quick :doubleup: All booked up with Scott now to have the Apexi mapped and if the last of my Capri bit's sell well the the wheels will be off to Lepson's then i can sit back for the summer and enjoy :yeah:

Re: My turbo
 

Cheers mate.....

I bought mine off ebay and the guy said that they came on RB5's but then again he did lie and say that the spoiler was as good as new, mine keeps on cracking, it is driving me crazy. I keep on repairing it... :doubledown: How much did you pay for the spoiler? I Might have to buy another one.......

Re: My turbo
 

Mine is a genuine Prodrive one it was £300 which seams to be the going price.I was lucky it did not have to be painted as it was in my colour.The guy i got mine off was great with the picture's and has the prodrive part no. on the bottom of one side.I know there was some fibreglass copy's going around.

Well a bit of a update as most of the work i wanted get finished has been done now wheels refurbed,few more engine bit's and the sti steering wheel/handbrake.

Very nice. although I think you should paint the alternator bracket/cover as its showing up your nice engine bay!

Been thinking about that but what colour to do it ??? was think about doing them in the Blue mica to match the body.

Yep that would work, or black or red to match the hoses or gold to match the prodrve bits.....choices!

With the sun out today i thought i would go for the bracket painting.Repainted the brake stopper/boost valve bracket in red so they all matched up.Then took the top off the p/s pump and alternator cover did them red first and did not like it at all so want for a nice satin black.

Sweet now!

Very nice Wez!!

Thanks :oops: Have got some new disc's coming as fryed the set on there :cry: and refurbed the dump valve and actuator.Forge where fantastic got a stiffer spring for the actuator and they sent me the dump valve kit free plus i phoned at 3pm and it was all here next day.Now boost is spot on again :twisted:

Well will get some updated pic's when we get a good break in the rain but have just been through the spec as it is a year since i got it and needed to for the insurance.It started as a standard uk Turbo.It's been a fun journey learning and some said i would get the bug i did but have ended up with a car i realy love and does all i want it to and more.With the hunting round for bits only went over budget by approx £500 as well :yeah:

where did you get your adjustable KYB AGX's from? i'm considering that route rather than coilovers but can't seem to find a decent priced supplier....

My ones came from a member on here have seen them on e-bay.I have Eibach springs as well and they perform very well on the road.

cheers. had a search for "kyb agx" on ebay and theres loads of results from overseas but nothing in the uk.... must be some companies in england who supply them easily enough :)

Found these in the uk
http://www.camskill.co.uk/brands/kay...k_absorber.php

http://www.autospares-group.co.uk/shock-absorbers.php

Go for BC's they seem to be doing really well for the Scoobs for not allot of money.:nod:

cheers Wez, hadn't spotted that Camskill sell them :doubleup: they've got the fronts at £152 each and rears and £139 each, so the AGX's are twice the price of the standard UltraSR shocks :(

at nearly £600 for the shocks alone, then adding some decent lowering springs.... makes a set of BCs a bit of a no-brainer then....

Well i did get a good deal at £250 then.I looked around alot before i changed and from reading on other sites the kyb's came out the best for road use.The bc's are a good price but can not be bothered with all the set up as i doubt it will ever see a track.

wez turbo
 

hello wez,merry christmas 2 u and family.your car is looking wicked ,hows the car with the new springs + how much has your insurance gone up with all your mods. its about time Lee got a scooby now dont u think.
