My Scooby
 
Well ive been on here a while now and havent really posted up anything bout my car apart from a few pics in the new members bit so i thought it was about time i did lol,

i decided to go back to a scoob basically because i was getting annoyed at myself with not being able to drive the rex out of fear of it blowing a waterseal or popping a tip, so in the end even though it was nice to look at i wanted a car i could actually drive

here she is when i picked her up

after just being happy driving again i decided to get a couple of bits
first up was replacing the tatty gearknob, on went a nice new one from cheam subaru

then set about de restricting her so on went the induction kit and was just waiting for the exhaust to come
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/017-6.jpg

i ordered a set of sti strut braces front and rear, theve been fitted but havent got any pics

managed to get the dv i wanted from jap performance, but im slowly going off it, ive been told it can be adjusted but still trying to find out how
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/018-1.jpg

still waiting for the exhaust so i got a set of sti lights and took the badges off, i did like the "subaru" badge but it was all scratched and parts were faded

after

then i swapped the wheels, the gold ones looked ok but i wanted a set of darker ones

after

finally the exhaust turned up so on it went

next i got some bits for the front so they were test fitted to make sure they were ok then got them ready for spraying
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/023-3.jpg

Finally got them sprayed and on, the colour match is abit out but im happy with it for the time being

next was the lights, got rid of the orange indicators and got some clear ones, and with a massive thanks to chunk, got a set of black crystal front lamps

before

after
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/106-1.jpg

then bought a set of 22b vents so got them sprayed and on, hers how she looks now

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/098-1.jpg

thats it so far as for future plans ive allready got a set of cusco antiroll bars in the garage ready to go on and got to do some other bits like tints, colour code the side skirts and spats then get a bigger spoiler. After that ill be looking to get some more power but that can wait for a little bit but the next major thing or things will be a new ecu and possibly a new turbo :drive:

Nice to meet you at Japbash :) and a very nice Impreza.Got to ask where you got the headlights from the more i see them the nicer they look.

AndyWRX 20-10-2009 12:44 PM

Thought its time for a long over due update so here goes

a few pics of of the front and rear strut braces

front
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/034-3.jpg

Rear
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/037-5.jpg

The front was easy to fit just a case of six bolts but the rear one was a bit of a pig to do

Then the cusco anti roll bars were put on by faney
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/027-1.jpg

Then the de-tangoing was fully finished thanks to chunk

Now for the more recent goodies

i fitted my hks dumpvalve but after a while it was getting on my nerves it was just too loud and going off too early, it was also leaking boost, so i traded it for a blitz one and that was worse, i virtually had no boost and it wanted to stall everytime i let off, so i bit the bullet and bought a new forge one
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/033-4.jpg
Feels and sounds alot better but im thinking i need to get a stiffer spring as boost seems to drop off after a while

Next up is some chrome goodies

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/029-3.jpg

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/030-2.jpg

And over the weekend i fitted my oil catch tank space was a little tight but it only took around half hour to do
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/036-5.jpg

Next i fitted an earth kit havent noticed much differance but it looks good
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/032-3.jpg

Also found ive got a boost leak from the intercooler pipe so got a nice replacement of ebay still got to fit it but hopefully ill get round to doing it during the week
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/039-3.jpg

At japbash i picked up a sticker for the boot thanks to mr worzel :razz:
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/026-8.jpg

And thats about it really.................................just got to fit my last goodie

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/041-2.jpg

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/040-3.jpg

Also got some more bits on the way, picked a fight with ebay and the credit card came off abit worse so hopefully the last bits will turn up soon :-P

MrX??? 20-10-2009 02:04 PM

666subaru 20-10-2009 04:16 PM

AndyWRX 20-10-2009 09:06 PM

Andy, what jetting and are you looking at progressive controller for Nos, got a couple of books if you want a read.
Have a Wizard of Nos system sitting in the shed, also know a guy running 2x10lb bottles with 400bhp boost. Blows both bottles in a day.:twisted::twisted::twisted:

well got a bit of a confession to make lol, its not gonna be nitrous for the engine, at the moment its gonna be for a purge kit and maby for the intercooler, (not to everyones taste but i like it) but after ive had a few things checked out that could all change :twisted:, theres just a few things confusing at the moment but once ive found them out we'll see,

But the shop i got the parts from is absolutly superb, they were really friendly on the phone and actually sounded like they wanted to help, postage time was excellent too

AndyWRX 22-10-2009 02:03 PM

Heres a pic of the drift charm i know its not really a drift car :twisted:yet:twisted: still on the look out for a dccd but havent had any luck as such yet, one came up for £500 and that included everything including the wireing but at the time i didnt have the £££ so still looking, its deffinatly on the cards for next year coz i really miss going side ways

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...yVTR/003-2.jpg

Chunk 22-10-2009 04:34 PM

Gotta love the charms

As for side ways, wait til winter kicks in :yeah: :drive: :acid:

Greig 22-10-2009 06:48 PM

Stupid question but what is a dccd? Does it allow you to distribute power to front or rear wheels etc?
