But when the bug is on the road i dare say the commo will be left to rust.

Did Damo give you some Gladwrap?
^^ hahaha! Pretty sure dave has had those wrapped for a few months now.... extra tread or something :P
Lucky break with the CV boots and brakes looking nice.. Is that bare ally? Are you going to paint them?
not sure on painting them just yet, will see how things turn out, most likely i will though yes, at least the steel bracket bit
steve, nah he used all of his, i had to get my own, just trying to minimise garage filth getting on them, never know whats on that floor 😂

Hey look its me!

its just almost as awesome as acid would be, just without the burning feeling 😂
no wait, i mean what magic greeny stuff, no idea what your talking about 😂

something i just came across for the conversion types, you would need to make a bracket/line out thing for the tank but thats cheap as for a decent pump....
if i find a holder bit that fits nicely (most imports are the same size for the pump) that fits nicely inside a bug tank.... ill probably get one, if i can sort it out before group buy is over

righteo subie people, tell me, who knows of an oil filter relocation kit for our not so easy to get aftermarket gear for engines, if only it was a nissan
😂
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CTR-22-597/
normal filter relocation blocks have the line in/out pointing towards the ground, add a 90deg fitting in, you havent achieved anything, the above link seems promsing...
anyone have one?
was thinking even better would be delete the water/oil thingo & run a relocation block to filter, thermostat, traditional style cooler & back to the block instead...
gets rid of a few extra hoses & such in the water system, not that thats anything major since the relocating adds a heap more oil line, but hey, thats more capacity right?

its a bit old but should give people a better idea
thoughts? experience? anything?

Hi Mate
Why do u need to relocate it? or need an oil cooler?
regards
Jak
PS I don't think I've ever asked u, what colour are u going to paint your car?
once exhaust & sump are shortened, the filter sits rather low, filters arent known for appreciating being kissed by the road/speedbump/gutter/ripple strip, taking the original cooler plate thing off would tell me at least a small traditional style cooler would need to replace it?
do early wrx's have the plate part or is it just block/filter without anything else?
yeah you asked when i visited when yours was only just still purple, i dream of HOK brandy wine, see ruby rose pics from nationals to get an idea-looked heaps better in person though!, after pricing the paint though...
i think ill go with any red i can touch up easy, wouldnt want to become a trailer queen for the sake of a seriously nice paint job, i wouldnt hold your breath for the colour change though, you will probably be retired by then 😂

why does dave need to relocate most stuff... Cause his bug is going to be lower that a show car and, he is going to drive it harder than a flogged out commodore.... and due to his love of BOOOOOST!!! things are going to get crunched.
update, we have steering, with massive toe in mind you but thats easy fixed 😀 mustard will pbor put pics up while im at work, later people!

Here are the pics i took earlier this arvo!
it has steering again! dave will need to adjust the tie rods a fair bit before he tried to move it again, the toe was just insane, but it was cool to be able to move it, and steer it!
the bonnet was just placed on for effect, but its looking good. Keep in mind that it is veryyyyy dusty. I believe headlights is soon on the list of things to happen. starting to look very sweet now dave!!
you thinking what i am?
HA! the ping pong valance
Dave if you want it let me know
How wide do those front guards look !!!
