No chance of me returning to Subaru ownership yet

Had my Merc in a garage today, found an air leak with is causing me to lose power apparently. Not bad considering i was keeping up with Emma's type R on sunday :shock:

Blimey more power shes going to fly :norty: hope its an easy fix, i was very impressed with lees merc on sunday we were going through charlwood in heavy rain and lee still kept up with emmas scoob, hats off to the professor :nod:

Would have been better if i had traction :rofl:

Looking forward to going for a blat in yours when we get the few small issues sorted

Most of the work done so far was to make it run right, had to change:

Headers
Downpipe
Up pipe
Coil packs
Plugs
Temperature sensor

just to get it going, later on i got a 5zigen exhaust and fitted my new stereo and speakers and gave it a general clean. So nothing too major really but now all thats done i can start on the stuff i want to do :ninja:

:10:

We hope to see you then ..:five:

It's looking good

Glad it's back on the road. Got to get a proper photoshoot going soon

Can't wait to get started on it's new look

Yeah me too, youve allready seen the test piece so just got to get started on the rest of the car, got some skirts in the garage, need to get the splitter and hopefully order some other bits over the next few months

Looks very nice, whats this new look plan then?

White wheels on the cards?

Looking good Mr Andy

most of the main bits are finished and in the garage, just got the fog lights to do then its the main body, also been in ebay and ordered some of "them" then got to find somewhere to do the main bulky ones

I'm sure we can find somewhere for them to go. I will show you my plans for when they were going on my scoob. Got some edited pics somewhere. just got to find them

I love it already! What colour you doing the wheels?

Looks good Andy, why did you change the colour then?

Did you use a compressor and paint gun?

Scott :)

(by the way ur old scoob still going strong)

It is looking good

Just needs those few 'little' bits i've been telling you that you need

Looking great Andy! :doubleup:

Good job mate, now it needs the wheels doing in white!

Nah, bright Orange :ok:

Mate you sure got balls,hats off to you,Hope to see you at Jap Bash

The next bits to be fitted are in my garage at work :nod:

Cheers for dropping the bits off Lee and thankyou to Gary for providing them, got to work out how to take them apart now lol

As for the wheels ive got a set of newage ones to go on but not to sure on the colour. Got a few colours in mind but still undecided, was thinking of:

Gloss white

Gloss black

Kawasaki green

Orange

Decissions decissions, anyone fancy doing a photoshop?

Gloss black!!!

Any other colour will spoil the theme

Loving the new look Andy, Hopefully Ill see it at Japbash!

I do miss it though, its great fun to drive!

Enjoy it :)

Getting there, wont be at japbash unfortunatly due to the water pump packing up :-( but it gives me more time to finish it off i guess, just started on the wheels, bit behind with them thanks to halfords filling the supposed "clear" laquer with cream! dont know wtf's going on with that but the new tins supplied by chunk seem to be fine.

Right bit of an update nothing major really just abit of tidying up.

Cleaned and undersealed the arches

http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0272.jpg

Painted and fitted my new wheels, hopefully will get rid of any rubbing and they look abit better too.
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0322.jpg

Then once i thought it was all finished i took it off the axle stands and something didnt look quite right :-(
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0592.jpg
So back up on the stands, wheels off and flaps gone.

This is how it looks now, sorry about the bad pics but they were taken on my phone
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0602.jpg

I could of moved the flaps up abit but then they would of been near the top of the arch and only about an inch of flap, I know the rear flaps are still in the above pic but i only got around to removing them this morning, ill get some better ones soon just got to do a few more little bits and next up is the water pump.

Looking good mate

Bet you can't wait to get her back one the road

Cheers for the offer how much you want for it? not quite sure what im doin spoiler wise yet but its deffinatly an option :-)

Well i got the water pump got done yesterday, well in saying me i mean my mate done it and i helped out and did what he told me lol but it was a great learning curve and enjoyed doing it suprisingly :-)

Anyway out with the rad, disconnected numerous hoses, took off the exterior belts etc then the main pully. Actualy all of it came off pretty easily with no hic ups suprisingly. Took off the covers and discovered its actualy got a relativley new timming belt, so thats abit of good news :-) Marked up the timming and undid the tensioner and took the belt off.

http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...203/0052-1.jpg

Undone the waterpump hoses and unbolted the pump and again came out quite easily.

The offending pump

Discoverd it was leaking from the thermostat and that the pump its self was completly ****ed. It span really freely and was really noisey too.

http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0062.jpg

Nice shini new one

http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...%203/007-1.jpg

New thermostat, pump and gaskets all sealed and fitted

http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...%203/010-1.jpg

Put it all back together with only a slight hic up with the timming but got it all sorted and got it timmed up better than when we it started. Filled up all the fluids and started it up.

http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/a...o%203/0112.jpg

Should be back on the road soon just got a couple more bits to do. Thought it would be alot harder to do and was worrying me quite abit but i really enjoyed lol sad i know
