well folks i had to buy another new laptop due to my old new one being an idiot i have a couple of updates, for one i had my sti high level spoiler painted but i decided to experiment, 5 points if you can guess what i am doing also i have bought something that makes more power ;) and i have done something to this too... i got this turbo as a bargain purchase was £40 and there is no play in any shafts also the seals are all good, and i got a gasket set with it and all new oil lines, it is a td05 20g, however im not going to fit it to my car i am just polishing the cold side and going to sell it on

aw bang i thought they were 22b vents there lol!! they look pretty cool but 22b ones for me im afraid buddy anyone local to glasgow good with cutting holes in bonnets ? have a pair of aero latches sitting there to be fitted and i dont trust myself lol

ohh no savage not sold up got alot of plans for it one being a cdb sitting there waiting for me also yeah little different but they are squint a little so need to straighten them out and see how it looks then lol

aww i didnt understand mate lol n thanks gambit will be more active now and lots more to come

nah mate they are crystals just retrofitted projectors and bixenons and the sidelights were just normal sidelights but i installed the led indicator conversion aswell

what you mean down graded sidelight car ? also i know it has no aerodynamic function but to change the look of the car, opinion is noted though thanks

allright folks i broke my old laptop so hadto wait until insurance paid to get it repaired or replaced, they replaced it thankfully so now i have a brand new laptop that is alot better than my old one plus my phone wont work with uploading, i have had a few issues with my car over the past few months, the retrofitted projectors wouldnt flick to full beam with the lights staying on as h4s have 2 filaments and the bulbs i have changed to is h1 so has one filament, and as you know on h4 filament bulbs the low beam turns off to go onto full beam so when the h1 bulb was in it was only staying on dipped beam and the high beam would just be off so however this is how it looked before and guess what has started working with the new harness for the xenons, and finally the finished product, only needs a couple of resistors for the side repeaters as i have changed from a 21w bulb to a 5w bulb and the front end is ready so here is how it sits just now minus the registration plate ohh and 5 points for who ever notices the changes from the last time alot to come, heres some hints buying a set of other 4 pot calipers and going to refurb them with stainless steel bolts pots and pins and bleed nipples and also all new seals also powdercoated yellow and then im going to have them ceramic coated to stop brake fade and dirt making them dull, set of speedline turini's powdercoated high gloss anthracite with a light metalic coating also ceramic coated to keep them fresh. sti rear lights vortex creator for the roof custom built alloy race style diffuser for the rear window tints and possibly new interior and cage. hopefully everything will go to plan over the next few months, also i will be on the hunt for a closed deck block with crank and pistons and rods and oil squirters i intend to do a full bench build on the engine let me know what you think folks

the moment i have been waiting for its here and finally on

ohh i will do mate got alot of stuff happening in the coming weeks

Ahh ok thanks for the replies guys I think I will buy a new down pipe and just change them when I want it on n vise versa, a friend had one on his supra and it sounded out standing thats the only reason I want one and had a quick look around youtube too there isnt many classics with them fitted but I dont know if that is a bad thing or a good thing lol will need to look into it a little further because my understanding was if I put a spacer onto my down pipe with a pipe running paralell and welded into the down pipe and the spacer mounted onto the down pipe so it fits as a recess behind the turbo seperating the turbine and the waste gate and that would give me the desired effect lol will research it a little further thanks for the help

alright folks had a search around but didn't come up with results apart from a car with one on it, i have got my full 2.5 inch system with a decatted down pipe sitting there for my car and was wondering has anyone modified the down pipe to run a screamer pipe and could describe to me how and what dimensions to use ? or will i need to buy a separate down pipe with screamer pipe already attached ? i have just had a look on youtube and it has made me want one for my car anyone have any experience with this ? any information would be great cheers davievtec

anyone want to buy a subaru impreza turbo 2000 uk ? thing is seriously frying my brain it now needs a rear registration plate and a new battery and new brakes possibly as mine are grinding, the car wont move freely for some reason i have no idea why i may need to recondition the calipers anyone want the car it will come with a standard airbox a 2.25inch exhaust system with cat and a full 2.5inch system turbo back with a 4.5 inch can on the back and a baileys dumpvalve car runs sweet as a nut never misses a beat until the battery dies, 900 to anyone who takes it with all the bits collection only from glasgow price is not negotiable unfortunately thanks

yeah mate should be back soon, had the car up on the axle stands and found out some good news :D the car was fully undersealed recently looks pretty fresh no nasty holes on the underside or under carriage and all bushes look fine n everything seems solid so i am a very happy boy today and i am 99% sure that the exhaust that is on the car at the moment is 2.5 inches so that is a good point to who ever buys the system, next thing on the list is pick up my down pipe and heat wrap it then fit the whole system with all new gaskets and nuts and bolts cant wait to finally hear it, been looking for a decent battery booster so i was in b&q yesterday and seen one sitting there for £59 used my mums discount card n got 20% off, seems its very well kitted up with a USB port to charge phones and a socket for a normal UK plug and and a air compressor for inflating tires seems it was a very good item to buy for the price so very happy just need to now get the spoiler dipped and buy a splitter and vortex generator and dip them carbon too with new wheels but i am stuck as to what ones to purchase any recommendations ? i was going to go and get a set of xxr's but i don't know yet.

another little update , orange indicator bulbs are fitted and the car is built back up ready for the exhaust to go on and the down pipe is away being modified as we speak by my local exhaust garage and also have a bung for the mid pipe lambda sensor hole so everything is coming together just need to modify the brackets to fit my classic insurance will be paid this month at some point ready for mot when i do the brakes then it should pass its mot ( apart from emissions)

this was a very good read and the work has came so far mate looks excellent keep up the good work
