Default My STi type Ra project
Well as you know I picked up my Ra last week. And I've already started working on it

Thought I'd keep a project thread going as I have a lot going on in the next few months.

Here we go!

As I got it :

And after today's facelift.




MY97 Headlights and Sidelights - £20

MY97 Grill with Pink badge - £45

Just deciding weather to go for the Alli V3-6 Ra bonnet or a Carbon Fibre one.

Things to do this week:

Remove front mudflaps and reposition.

Will keep you posted.

Decided to stick with the V2 bonnet for time being. Looking into the STi 8 brembo conversion.

If Subaru sprint series goes ahead next year, then I'll be entering the Ra.

Looking forward to the ring trip aswell

Well last night the power steering belt shredded to pieces, luckily while it was stationary. I managed to get it home, not using any excess electricity (felt like I was in Apollo 13).

And ordered a new belt, which will arrive on Tuesday

The car will hopefully have some more done to it by the time of Japbash, where it will be pride of place on the JDesigns stand.

Funny enough I'm not.

At the moment I'm staying with the white/black "panda" look. But wanting to go for some 17" Volk TE37 in white (not gravels) and a carbon facelift bonnet painted black sometime soon.

Not after stupid power either. 300-320 would keep me happy.

Right since the last update:

New PAS Belt

Rear bench removed

6x9's Removed

CD player Removed

Driftworks 4 point Harness fitted

AC Belt removed (awaiting de gas)

Domo Kun hanging from the rear

Equal length manifold fitted

New up pipe fitted.

Checkered Fuel Flap.

Some photos of it as of today. Will get a video up asap with the new manifold fitted.





It's going to be a marmite car, but then again it's not going to be used for normal Subaru things

Currently it's sitting in the drive awaiting new headers and up pipe. The Ejits I got to fit them have seriously ruined the car. So I'm currently trying to nurse it back to health and will be posting some info up in the next week or so.

as you know I've had serious problems with the RA after GT Developments f*ked it up. I am keeping a blog here http://project-jd.blogspot.com oo the project and will update this accordingly.

To date the car has been off the road for the last week, after finding problems with the manifold. Will get some photos up at some point today.

For the love of god DONT goto GT Developments in North Chailey!

Cheers for the heads up, i drive past them to work and wondered if they were worth using. But generally i won't use a garage without a recommendation, and nobody has recommended them to me!

Hope you get the problems with the RA sorted
