The Bomber

[frayz]

Just downloaded Clash of Clans for it Ross.
I'll send you a game request later

All quiet here what with house and wedding planning.

However the car is 75% ready to go in for some treatment and work on the prototype fog covers continues. These are just mock ups for now and don't represent their finish once completed.

Christmas has come early for the Bomber this year. It's taken me a bleedin age to save up for these. Huge thanks to Alyn @ AS Performance for the superb service as always.

Now to get my front APs refinished in red for next season.

My rear Brembos are also for sale inc genuine Brembo discs and almost new Performance. Friction pads. £275

[frayz]

Think I'll just leave this here.

[frayz]

Haha, looks worse than that now.
But gotta look worse before it looks better.

[frayz]

This is as far as I've got today.
The sack of sound deadening alone was 10.2kg. Which I was quote surprised about.

[frayz]

Haha, we do it because we have to Brad. We dream of owning cars like yours, but till i can afford one, ill just have to build something as fast.
Its a heap of effort and you do have times when you think "What the F**k am i doing?" haha. Chipping out sound deadening in almost 0 degrees does take a special kind of lunacy. I think youll be impressed with this line of updates though, this time shes on her way to becoming a serious road racer.

Subarus GT3 RS that was never made?

[frayz]

Time to make it serious though.

[frayz]

Something ive wanted for ages but never found a solution was a front splitter to fit the Prodrive edition front bumper. I've a few ideas and the first one of those ideas arrived today.

Genuine WRC dry carbon composite tarmac lip. Think this could look pretty sexy riveted to the front end.

[frayz]

Trial fitted the WRC splitter tonight.

No doubt this will split opinion, also have a UK300 splitter on the way. Quite like this though, looks aggressive.

[frayz]

This is as far as I've got today. All wiring from the dash back is now out, all deadening now gone and made a good start on removing most of the excess seam sealer.
Almost ready to start scotching up for paint, I'll get most of that done before the cage goes in because it's easier. Then it will all be prepped again once the tube work is in.






Yes I'm in the boot scraping sealer lol.

[frayz]

Following this up, I've carried on and done some more.





Complete AC system out.




With that in mind I got the trusty bathroom scales out.

Complete AC system was 13.2kg
Space saver & jack 20.1kg
Approx 15kg in misc parts (couldn't get them all on the scales)
11kg sound deadening.

So there a good 60kg before looking at bumper beams and the U brace is still on the car.
I'm yet to start on the doors too. It sounds daft but it's noticeably easier to push by hand.

I've also got a steel alternator bracket on the way so I'll dump the big chunk of ally too.

[frayz]

Of course Brad. I donated it.

[frayz]

Sorry John, your usernames are so damn similar

[frayz]

Revised custom off intakes complete.
Just need paint.

[frayz]

Well that's it, she's now living in Wales for a month having the cage done. Looking forward to building it back up once she's done. Cage is full custom T45 so should keep the weight down. I couldn't believe the difference when holding the tubes compared to CDS. Amazing!

[frayz]

Check out my new look.

Subaru Impreza Al fresco.

[frayz]

Don't worry mate, that bad boy is coming right out!!

[frayz]

Still more coming out.

Standard seat rails gone, seatbelt reinforcements gone, basically every unused bracket and fixture is slowly coming out.

[frayz]

Still the prep work continues.
