We knew that on the side of the autobahn :mrgreen:

Hope the build is coming along well :ok:

Well she hopefully be ready in 2 weeks time with a fresh years MOT so the fun can begin again and get the new coilovers fitted :grin:

Just found this little photo the wife took of what speed in mph I was doing when the engine **** itself :lol::lol:

Will never forget the 5 miles or so we were trying to get you to pull over with the fluid pissing out!!
Not looking at the speedo, more looking at the revs!!!
Have you got a 6 speed?

No wonder it s**t itself as it was poorly before & 7K with hardly any air going to the intercooler wasn't gonna help lol

Type R gearing and a top mount intercooler, the poor old girl didn't stand a chance, don't think I went over 110 on the Autobahn for that very reason.

She'll be back bigger and better in a few weeks.

LOL still on 5speed dccd at the moment .

I know going FMIC this time hope I can get it all done before the next trip or I will defo be driving like miss daisy :lol:

Nothing wrong with dccd Shane just need a extra gear :lol:

7000rpm for 5miles on any subaru 4 pot boxer is asking for trouble!

Well a wee trip down to steve today and something is missing

That is a nice photo worth the scrapeing :razz:

That carpark was a bit tight for the big old Vauxhall :angst:

Steam clean the engine bay while its empty? You wont get another chance unless you fry another engine....:geek:

Oft thats to much work for me might do it when it goes back in for future build :lol:

This, will look great when the new engine goes back in if the bay is nice and shiny white :ok:

I might get down to clean it if i can get away from decorating the house lol .

Ooo heads are back from getting skimmed they were badly warped but all good now , valves all cleaned new seals and relapped and seated and block is getting painted graphite grey we are getting there .

So how long before the car is ready to go? Glad the processes are all going along nicely.

Well heres how the build is coming along

Well while the car has been away i have been doing alot of searching to find out what make are my spare alloys which are these
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...7a9519c1b4.jpg
And found out they are Rota GRA now i am going to find out the paint code as i want them looking like this eventually
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...d84da296d2.jpg

Those grey wheels actually look like Inovit Tarmacs to me. They have the Inovit style carbon centre caps and the front face of the spokes are slightly wider on the Inovits compared to the Rotas. You can see this in the gold one above - slightly thinner spokes.

Think your right Steve just found this pic
