Just had the shipping and Customs invoice come through. Getting close now.

Cars now at TGT. They've given it a quick wash off and will prep it in the New Year.

That looks mega

These are still on my radar; I've a nice list of cars building up to decide on if I do sell my E39 touring come Spring haha

It's going to Grinspeed when I get it so you can have a good look over it there. I'm right in thinking you know him/had yours worked on there?

I'm guessing it goes like STInk?

It will be when it has been remapped for 99 RON. Limiter removed and will cap it at 300bhp which is a safe limit for the rods in these. It's enough for what it is.

Love it. Will be sub 5.5 at 300bhp? Plus you can get a dog in the back.
Enjoy.

It'll be there or thereabouts.

Looks really nice. You must be gagging to get at it.

Can't wait now. Just starting to buy a few bits for it.

Little update. Been ill with the dreaded Covid 19 for the past couple of weeks. Back fighting fit again now. Cars had a pre MOT check and inspection as it's due to go for one later this week. Only thing that's been picked up on is both front lower control arm bushes are starting to perish/split and the brakes all round are well worn/near the limit.
I've got TGT to replace the bushes with Hardrace ones and got a full set of Dixcel discs and pads put on. Should fly through the MOT then it's just a case of waiting for the new V5.
Soon as I get it, I'll get Grinspeed to do the cambelt, fit front and rear Whiteline roll bars, antilift and roll centre kit on it. Then it'll go for the wheels to be fully refurbed in anthracite and a new set of Eagle F1 Supersport.

Nice!

Are you up this way pal?

Let me know when it's going into Stevie for him to work his magic and if allowed; I'll pop along to sup his coffee

Just on the other side of Wigan. Soon as I get word it's registered and ready to collect, it will be going straight to Grinspeed so I know it's all sorted regarding the belts etc.

Spoke to TGT on Friday. Going to be at least another month wait for the DVLA. Seems to be dragging on a bit now. Just want to get it home and get started on it.

Strange. Only took 5 weeks for the Impreza and that was over Xmas too.

Was expecting it by now but never mind. Had a few quotes to have it collected and delivered to me. Big range in prices! Have pre booked a company we use at work and they'll have it picked up on a covered trailer for me. Just need to give them a few days notice. £335 from Devon to Wigan.

I've kept coming back to this thread, and decided to get in on the action.

Found a nice WR for the right price, got a few little niggles to sort but nothing major. So far seems like a brilliant car!

Hope you get yours soon.

Looks like a good one. Brembos too.

Few little bits started to arrive.

New key fob holder.


New centre caps ready to put on when the wheels get refurbed.

So..... I keep looking at these, and this thread isn't helping !

Could I realistically do 15-20 k miles a year in one of these?

Or would that be 2 services a year ?

Anyone do this kind of mileage ?

Oil is every 6k for the twinscroll. JDM black filters are less than £10. Decent 5w40 oil is less than £40 for 5L. Really easy DIY job, so less than £100 a year for 2 oil changes.

I'll let you know once I get it. Still waiting. The Legacy will be quieter than the Forester STI but might be a little bit firmer on the Bilsteins. I had the FSTI for 3 years but only did about 3k miles in it. The Legacy will probably be the same.

Car will be ready 1st March! New boots landed this morning also.
