Need to find some c spanners and drop the height a bit more, really don't want to use a pin punch and hammer :/

So long time between updates.

Been busy with the new house and work/family so haven't spent a massive amount of time and money on this just yet.

It won't be too far from being converted main thing now is just getting a six speed(hopefully can get a decent short ratio DCCD)

Motor had a little bit of oil dripping out of the rocker covers so bought some new gaskets to fix that.

It also had a gates timing belt kit on it that I wasn't liking with the blue shit over the idlers and some of the bearings not being 100% so a new genuine kit was purchased from RSS.

New DW1200 injectors to replace what I had thought were stock STI blues but once pulled out found the part number was dremeled off, which may mean there are DW750's but will know more about them after I get them flow tested.

A broken 205 was aquired for the cam and crank gears along with sensors, wiring harness and coolant crossover pipe.

For the conversion wiring I got a B4 loom and have got it repinned to suit a GD wrx ecu. Also got all the brant wiring pulled out at the same time. ECU will be running a carberry tune so won't have any need to get keys reprogrammed

Parts wagon was bought cheaply for panels and will use it to fab all my pipework and exhaust before I start the swap.

Exterior and interior have had very little done to it.

Have some front and rear Rev A-C spats, JDM HIDS, clear side indicators and legacy tailgate garnish, A wing is in the shed waiting for paint. And just put on an ARC scoop extension today. ( will eventually get painted along with the bonnet.)

Interior now has a JDM BFM, brushed aluminium trims and stainless legacy door sills.

Have plenty of other bits and bobs sitting in the shed but will get around to putting them on in the near future.

Not really happy about the condition of panels and paint but all that will be fixed up in the long term more concentrating on the mechanical side of things before I worry to much about the overall appearance.

Yeah dude!!!

[TSG]

I always wanted to take the scoop off and properly glue the scoop extension to it with clamps to hold it down. Instead of trim tape. I removed it from my B4 pretty easily though. Forker likes to squirm and lift with the engine heat.

[Reevesy]

I'll probably do that when it ends up going to paint and get the scoop colour coded as well

[Adam]

Wtf. I thought this was already converted!

[Reevesy]

Nope. Unless your thinking of Luke's?

[Adam]

Nup always thought yours was done already lol
