oh yes..... my GTR is there with him right now! And he has worked a miracle on my 350z!

Yeah, was good fun!! Turbo came on and immediately I had a smile just a shame that the GTR is so much better, I just was not driving the Scooby. Car has since been built to 2.1 forged with a few more engine mods (by the new owner). I'm glad you posted that second picture. I have been looking at Team Dynamics wheels in black for my Scooby but wasn't sure what multi spoke wheels would look like. Now I'm sold There should be a load more pics in the link at the bottom of that post (my photobucket set). Awesome wheels, had r888s on them and they were fantastic!!! Even in the wet (just not in standing water)!

I have owned a couple of scoobies 1999 non turbo 2000 GT turbo (rare car in South Africa) 1997 STi wagon 2002 STi (bugeye) that was modded to 380bhp, with a half welded in cage, lots of brake and suspension mods, etc. my impreza by graham.cleverly, on Flickr Impreza by graham.cleverly, on Flickr Base spec *2002 *UK Impreza STi *Prodrive spec *75000 miles (will update this with the exact miles) Updated Spec Brakes *Full refurb of the Brembo calipers *Performance Friction (2 piece disks) on the front *Grooved discs on the rear *EBC Bluestuff pads all-round *Goodridge braided lines *5.1 fluid Handling *BC coilovers *Whiteline front 22mm adjustable ARB *Whiteline rear 24mm adjustable ARB *Front droplinks *Rear droplinks *Anti-lift kit *Front strut brace Performance *Andy Forest TD06-20g turbo *850cc injectors *Walbro fuel pump *Full decat 3" exhaust system *K&N induction system *FMIC *Baileys DV *Remap Interior *PSI3 unit top of dash *Welded-in rear half rollcage *TRS harnesses *Hawkeye front seats (I originally put Corbeau Revolutions in, but I did not get on with them) *Rear seats removed *Rear firewall *Panasonic USB single DIN headunit *5.25" Apline front speakers *5.25" JBL rear speakers *6x9s rear parcel shelf *12" JBL sub, boxed *JBL AMP Exterior *WRC style carbon mirrors *Carbon inserts for front wings *Smoked side repeaters *Mudflaps *Blue wheel nuts *Front tow hook removeable *Rear tow hook *Painted calipers *Track wheels - 18" Team Dynamics wheels with Toyo r888s http://s920.photobucket.com/user/grahamcleverly/library/Cars/Subaru%20Impreza?sort=3&page=1

still looking, primary thing is rollcage and seats must have the FIA approval sticker (even if out-dated)

progress, Im liking it!!

Im excited too!! If it is the new GTR, I doubt it will be on the road until 2018, especially since the Nismo edition has only just been release. If it is the new GTR, I might have to get my deposit down

Got some time off, so time to start fiddling with the 350z So Im looking for:- Spacers for the rear wheels (20mm) Rollcage rear half (all the plastic, metal, braces, etc is coming out) Bucket seats not too aggressive, reclining would be a bonus - must be able to retain seatbelts

Brakes are the Akebonos from earlier and the wheels are just 18" touring wheels so nothing spectacular.... but will get some up soon there is more coming

Cars successfully swapped over. New brakes are rather good New exhaust adds a lot more noise, maybe a touch too much, but will see New suspension fair bit better New wheels, need spacers on the rear But well impressed!!!

so any other examples of simple for 4 point cages? I will have a chat with customcages on Monday.

good call

Id be in for this!!!

If you can't wait until tomorrow, I'm willing to hand over my Z in exchange for your GTR tonight.

Turns out that shipping works out a lot cheaper if I have 2 cars so there is a 2nd MK1 in the container 2nd car gets picked up next week and both should be shipped shortly after!

Seems like Sly needed a little longer, so I am collecting the tomorrow Looking forward to this!! And dropping off the GTR at the same time.

i'd imagine that's the biggest understatement of the year so far! haha, once you get used to it ~600hp doesn't seem enough! 700-750 would be perfect in a GTR; just to get a near flat torque curve of 620lbft. too right about getting used to it.... but I still think that 600-620 is the sweet spot. No hassles of a built engine, built gearbox (or issues with it not being built) and you have saved yourself £20k Just ordered some new DBA discs and pads to go with them. Fancied something a little different from the norm and got a half decent price. Tomorrow I am picking up the 350z (looking forward to this) from Sly and dropping off the GTR for a service, brakes and MOT (its first).

What sort of prep work is required? How easy is it to fit? And waiting for some of the answers to questions above, but I am interested in one for my 2002 car.

the pearl white is an issue on the GTRs as well a shame that the 240 is not driven

Im liking those.... very similar to the APR mirrors (had them on my old supra). Sexy as hell, but not very useful.

It was pretty sweet considering it was thrown together quickly and is only using similar suspension settings to a standard car but is definitely a good start. I'm not sure about the weight saving yet but I will be taking it home in early july back to my parents farm and will put it on the weighbridge so I'll get a good idea then Great! Look forward to the results... and loving that front bumper!

Would love to, but I dont get pictures, just an error saying bandwidth has been used. Nice! Shame you cant find the 350z half cage in there.....

Thats a fair old amount of space

Thanks, will have a read of that. Will also have a look at customcages, always liked their stuff
