From the album: 53 blobeye wrx :)
I did want to powdercoat where iv painted but couldn't remove the plastic seal where my bov sits so had to stick with cellulose -
Not sure at the min I peeled it off as it got scratched when I took the tmic off for painting, as the cars white and blue I don't know if I like the black :s -

Opinions on what I've just done? -
Cheers I'll get on to downloading tapatalk :), what does everyone use to adjust their handbrake shoes? I tried using a screwdriver into the adjustment slot but can only move the cog 1 way due to having a beam in my way guessing a bent driver would do it

So wheel bearings. Fine, but the heat shied around the brake disc was rusty and hanging off pretty much, so took the disc off and full of chewed up rusty bits, think I've found my grinding noise :) iv not worked on drum brakes before what fiddly things they are, I would upload pics of it but as said before I can't seem to be able to on here

I'm new to the scoob scene but I'm assuming the previous owner has blocked off some vac pipes maybe he had a boost gauge or some sort of vacuum leak I'm sure someone more clued up will give a good answer

I will do, it's got a recipt for having the calipers reconditioned but doesn't hurt to have a look myself :) it's been a while since I've cared for a car, I don't always drive track day hard i was just putting it through it's paces as yesterday was the 1st day owned by me, I'll have to research people's opinions on pads and discs as the rear look fairly worn fronts look brand spanking tho

He seemed to genuinely care for the car, but when people sell things they tend to pretend that it's been cared for, so far at the min the car seems fine other than the overheating brakes and the grind :( any recommendations on new pads? Ebc?

The brakes have lovely bite for a few corners then began to fade, it may just be a cheap set of discs and pads as the receipt from the previous owner doesn't show make or cost of the parts just labour and caliper recon, I might slide a pad out and see what make

I've never had a bearing sound like that but I suppose it could have had dirt/sand get inside and make that sort of noise I'll have a play about with it 2moz :) what are your brakes like? Iv found mine overheat fairly quick with hard driving, I'm just thinking wether or not it's like previous cars of mine where they haven't been the top spec sport model and end up with majour fade compared to the bigger version?

I popped around a family members earlier to show them the scoob (they liked it btw) anyhow when I decided to go home I stuck it in reverse and set off the driveway before I applied the brakes to put it back into 1st I thought I heard grinding, had a quick look around everything seemed fine so continued with the short drive home about 1 mile later the grinding came back, it was coming from read drivers side wheel, I haven't managed to take a look since but the grinding wasn't a constant thing and seemed more so when no throttle applied any ideas where I should look 1st? I'm thinking check for stones inbetween the brake shield and disc but I would also asume I'd hear the grinding all the time

I can't seem to upload any pics how can I so it on iPhone?

The sun strip will be removed but everything else I like ATM

So after a set back with spare cash, and many weeks of looking I have found myself a motor that has ticked most my boxes :) I got myself a blob eye wrx 88k on the clocks and at the moment she seems sweet :)
-
What colour was it you wanted?
-
I've got patience I'll be waiting for the right one thanks :)

Ok I assumed it would be a turbo but wasn't sure and I wouldn't have guessed pinks :) my "fast cars" have only been 106gti and a civic type r
-
I'll have a look at modded ones it's just very easy to make it look like it's been cared for, what's a Vf35 and a pinks? Is the sti top mount bigger than the wrx's?
