Thinking about it stants is heading down on Saturday from your neck of the woods ,dunno what time him and nick are leaving though but if it suits you all, you could "convoy" down with em [emoji6]

Yeah fingers crossed for good weather, i've got stants ' s number so will catch up with the s.o.c and uk legacy boys .as some are camping over Saturday night and going the Sunday as well . That way I get to meet a few members even though there's no stands on the Saturday[emoji6]

Hi n welcome to s.o.c ,nice looking scoob [emoji106] Have you done much to it since you got it ,if not sombodies spent some time n money on her [emoji6]

It's £8 pre booked or £10 on the gate for entry and then £25 for unlimited runs More info here bud http://www.japshowfinale.co.uk/tickets.php we're going to pay on the gate Saturday morning as if the weather's bad they'll close the 1/4 for safety reasons. I would've gone on the Sunday and been on the club stand again but you get a better chance of getting a few more 1/4 runs in on the Saturday (apparently ) I've only ever done the 1/4 twice and that was at japshow 1 this year , i was rubbish on both runs so fancied another go lol

Didn't even look at the link tbh £185 is a fair bit of cash but I spose they're is a fair few separate stickers in the kit . Also depends if you wanted the full kit for the oe look , I personally don't like graphics but seeing as the 555 had them from the factory I quite like em Saying that I nearly bought this for mine a while back And considered this when I had the 5zigen system fitted cos that sounded loud n dirty lol

Never met Tim but I know quite a few people who use him on a regular basis ,so I've put a few people in touch with him and they've always gave good feedback. If it's in your budget, see if Tim will go with you and there's no harm in having a look

Glad you're enjoying the scoob fella Here's the link to the place that my bud bought his 555 graphic kit from http://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsubarubits.co.uk%2F&h=SAQHbNhdn&enc=AZNns88h25zBVtF8EhL2d1GszG7_GQCEm9AT000FJ2D2fPEy6ZMsXCiPHu_frc8rvvw&s=1

Good stuff ,more the merrier [emoji106] We probably won't make a definite decision until the Friday before (last min weather forecast ) but once we do I'll chuck the answer on this thread

It's taken 3 yrs, £5k ,3 scoobs ,2 engines and 1.5 gearboxes so far lol Dunno what I'll do if I ever finish it ....... Probably build another engine for when I blow this one up [emoji16] [emoji12]

Well if I get the turbo ,wheel and fuel set up I think it will be new polished ally header tank and a z32 maf conversion then that's me done under the bonnet . Well unless I give in to my brv and fit some nos

I had planned to get parallel lines and a fpr fitted at some point mainly just to tidy things up tbh as I don't really need them for my 400bhp target . I've already deleted the purge valve ,charcoal canister and oil breather pipework to simplify things under the inlet manifold, so only have the oe series fuel line under the inlet manifold atm and no vacuum pipes

Normally I only bother cleaning things when I'm trying not to spend money but need somthing "scooby" to do to keep hands busy and out of my pocket [emoji5] Saying that I should have a garret gt28 ,new momo steering wheel and possibly braided fuel lines arriving soon [emoji39]

When my brv owned the this one it was running tein coilovers and it's belly was on the ground . The wide rotas occasionally rubbed the front liners so he removed em . The wind noise was terrible and I found loads of crud wedged behind the wings when I was prepping the shell last year (before fitting my mechanicals) Hence why I removed the wings ,cleaned everything up ,waxoiled and fitted the liners from the old UK shell

Only time a question is stupid Imo is if you don't ask one and you never know the answer

Classics don't have arch liners on the rears but ive got them in the front bud

I don't think Haynes do a impreza manual but there's a link on the first page of my build thread that has free pdf downloads

Strange I had to pull the UK'S splash guards off, well the pretty much fell off tbh (rusty as fook) And grind the v1 jdm ones off as the newage rear discs are bigger in diameter so foul on both types of splash guards

Your right stants it was a major job with inner and outer rear 1/ 4's cut off and new ones imported from Japan [emoji5] I haven't had any body work done for ages so I could well be far off on price but I assumed that it would need work on the inner arches too

The chairman of my local forum had his uk turbo arches done ,both rear 1/4's, bonnet and front n rear bumpers painted and it cost him £3k [emoji33] You could probably get just the 1/4's done for about half that but he gets everything done at rcm . But it still scared me off enough to do a clean jdm reshell instead [emoji6]

Yeah either grind or drill the spot welds to get the splash guards off

Unfortunately a lot of body shops will just clean the arches and fill them ,rather than cutting the rust out on the outer and inner arch [emoji19] You've got to either catch it early and kill it off or completely cut out the heavily affected areas and replace them with new metal . Only thing you can do to try and lesson it spreading is keep the inner arch lip clean and protect it with waxoil or I've been looking at some stuff called dytronol (I think) rust treatment . It's on ebay and comes in spray cans that you can spray on existing rust /in chassis box sections to kill rust and protect the metal . But eventually you'll probably need to get the rust cut out and replaced to completely cure it [emoji57]

Yeah it didn't get undersealed so I thought I'd prep ,stone chip and paint it instead . As you can't see any rust developing under underseal and only find out its rusty when there's a hole .plus the painted top coat is far easier to keep clean with a coat of clear waxoil and regular jet washing [emoji6] The other side isn't as bad so I just did the worst area for now

Had a day off today and the weather's nice so thought I'd carry on with treating the surface rust under the scooby before they start chucking salt on the roads . The rear inner arches that I did last year have held up really well so I thought I'd use the same method at the back end . It's only really got a bit of surface rust around the spot welds under the rear 1/4's near the chassis and boot Wells Ground back and rust treatment Didn't take many pics of the rest of the stages but here's the end results after a coat of rust inhibitor based primer , stone chip and silver top coat Hopefully should keep the tin worm at bay for a while longer

Seeing as we were talking bush earlier I thought he said !Removed! not volvo ,same meat different gravy anyways as they both have old cnuts inside [emoji16] [emoji23] Sorry tidgy lol Dam you swear filter [emoji111] V#u#l#v#a
