February 22, 20187 yr I like them wheels you got on it. Tasty [emoji39]Cheers , center caps are a bit faded but the wheels are fairly mint otherwise , the mate i bought the bug off said they were fairly rare ? Not that it matters , cos they do suit the car well imo

Not that it matters , cos they do suit the car well imo Did these wheels myself. Bought them for £150 with chips and marks all over. Acid dipped, sanded and smoothed the kerb marks out. Bought some GTpro alloy primer and GTpro gold paint and GTpro laquer. 3 coats of primer, 3 of gold and 4 laquer. Yours look like the UK300 wheels.
February 22, 20187 yr Nice work , works out quite cheap for a set of newage sti wheels too [emoji106] they're "speedline course " 18's i gave em a google after you posted and they're £1k new [emoji44]
February 23, 20187 yr Busy morning trying to get the block stripped before the artic blast gets hold of the east coast [emoji849] Crash course in avcs heads after lunch lol
February 23, 20187 yr Well that wasn't too bad [emoji4] It's now in kitchen table sized chunks , so at least i can work in the warm close to the kettle [emoji23]🤣

February 24, 20187 yr Nice job mate. [emoji847]Sent from my SM-G935F using TapatalkCheers , i took quite a few pics but I'm still trying to decide whether i should start another build thread [emoji848] ?Especially as i haven't got anywhere near finishing my classic project yet [emoji849]
February 24, 20187 yr I'd do two separate ones mate ones a classic and a new age. [emoji4]Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
February 24, 20187 yr Broke the elbow off the top of my dv, blocked the pipe off as a temp measure forgetting that the boat pressure will just blow the dv open any way [emoji85] so off boost for a bit till I can fix/replace it Loud pipes save lives
February 25, 20187 yr Thought id take the Forge DV off today and put the standard recirc on, then got a bollocking off the neighbour for not parking my car in my garage??? Why would i want to park it in my garage? Her reply.... “coz it wakes me up at half 5 every morning” my reply “what a shame”
February 25, 20187 yr Stripped and split the block halves [emoji4]Found the cause of the rumble ..... and as i thought,goosed main bearings [emoji849]
February 25, 20187 yr Doesn't look like it's done any damage though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
February 25, 20187 yr Fitted my STI spoilers the other day and took advantage of the nice weather this afternoon to wash and wax the car. Didnt have time to polish the car before using the wax. But it still came out nice. Does anyone have any experience cleaning up the mess left behind by the foam used on the wind strips? I had to take mine off as they were damaged and the mess left behind is impossible to remove! You can see it in the picture.
February 25, 20187 yr Looking good mate. Found petrol or wd40 best. Can get sticky stuff remover from Halfords. Doesn't work on bedsheets or items of clothing though. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
February 25, 20187 yr Hahaha thanks for the heads up I have a fresh can of WD40, I will give it a go tomorrow after work. That is if I make it to work, I may end up in a local carpark if we get a load of snow
February 25, 20187 yr Doesn't look like it's done any damage though. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Bores ,block journals and crank visually look fine but I'll measure everything myself , then get the engineer the double check everything and (hopefully) just hone the bores .I'm gonna throw the crank anyways, as I'm definitely fitting new crank , race bearings and new rings as a bear minimum [emoji6]
February 25, 20187 yr I will be very interested to follow this build savage. I love seeing people do engine work. Its inspiring. It got me to do the work on my own car. Never done anything up until this point, bar changing light bulbs, oil etc! I now have an ever growing tool box and list of jobs im going to do
