So, my fuel filter was swollen and the hoses weren't the right size. All crappy aftermarket bits!

 

Also, a the fuel line/thingo under the intake was loose as well?

 

Was having cold start issues and getting strong petrol fumes in the cabin.

 

Fixed now, car feels way better.

 

 

Also, turbo blanket!

 

Picked up off eBay for pittance. Apparently "used for 2 track days only".. Genuine Perrin, they're worth a bit brand new!

 

(Yes, it's upside down.. But whatever. )

Mmm perrin bits.

I like it!

When's it getting a VF turbo?

[Ben_20EJT]

Sam, do you want a 3inch stainless dump? Ill have one forsale in a week or 2.

So this happened...

 

MY06 WRX rims plasti dipped white. Continental MC5 tyres (100x better then the Achilles!)

 

[Barbbachello]

I like it

[Adam]

awesome

[Liberty]

Lookin' good man! I like the colour combination. I would prefer you get the rims sprayed properly without the plastidip though.

needs to be lowed

I think something like bronze would look much nicer on a silver car. Here's my old car with white rims before I sold it..just for comparision. lol

 

Check out the photos in here: they have gunmetal, gold and silver wheels. Up to you

Thanks guys.

I wasn't sure I'd like them white, so plasti dip is a trial.

Haha, I'll lower the car soon. Just focusing on a few things first.

Oooh that gold looks good!

Exactly what plasti dip is perfect for, dont understand the general disdain for it. 

And +1 gold looks sweet

IMO white on silver doesn't work very well but if you like it that's all that matters.

Is the black headlight next on your mod list?

More or less. I'm just one who enjoys a white wheel! I think they can pull it off on most colours and it's not black like every tom, dick and harry..

 

I'm thinking about it. Not overly confident with lights in an oven though!

[Liberty]

I did my foglight in the oven (100-110°C for about 10 minutes), no problems whatsoever.

[Harry88]

Doesn't look half bad Sam.

[Samwise]

Thanks guys!

 

I'm thinking I might go and get some of the top coat plasti dip stuff.. the gloss or metallizer or whatever they have, so they're not so matte.

 

Also, need to get those side skirts and a couple of other things colour coded and new plates

[Liberty]

What plates are you getting?

[Samwise]

What plates are you getting?

 

Nothing special. Just standard black on white replacements. Or maybe silver on black if I feel like spending that money.
