Next round of stuff on the inbound:

Rear Brembo conversion to finish off set
Ultrex "prodrive" style front lip
Alloy radiator
New rear 02 sensor to clear CEL, get fuel economy back etc etc

Also anyone know where to get these sideskirts?

Had le' old girl on hoist to do put in new rear 02 sensor today (car liked this)Realised it has about 175km on her original motor and started talking. Will be due for timing belt again soon, and all the shit that goes with that.

So, was thinking perhaps 207 might as well go in if the front of the motor is off while cam belt got done? Build and get the bits slowly, over coming months or so. Was going to get the 207 block from jarvis suby (SCD with the factory pistons), + water pump and seals and stuff for around 3grand? Maybe throw new oil pump in?

Need to do some searching around on what heads are compatible, with some cams. Heads cleaned up and restored. Also if my current Verso'd ECU will tune up alright with the 207. Looking to keep my existing VF34, injectors, exhaust and headers for the time being.

Need someone to help do my front lip for some beer too, guessing it's a 5 min job but might need another set of hands.

^^^ I like where your thought process is going :thumbsup:

[QUOTE=jEstEr?;579471]Justice is served[/QUOTE]

fkn lol!

Kato 04-07-2011 07:37 PM

I think keep the stock motor until it goes. Prolly a good 100'000kms on the engine still.

American Dave 04-07-2011 07:50 PM

Rich since you are now NOR I am happy to assist with the lip install. When do you want to do it?
207 only once the engine lets go as John suggested

RichX 04-07-2011 07:58 PM

The engine is well looked after, so probably would last another 100k. Bought this car 5 years ago (stock as a my01 rock) and it's now fully owned by me, farken. Maybe just the 200km's figure sounds scary.

This Sat coming Dave if the weather is naice?

American Dave 04-07-2011 08:03 PM

yep sat works for me Rich

have you got plenty of cable ties ? :D

GTB Liberty 04-07-2011 08:31 PM

Cable tie FTW.

RichX 04-07-2011 08:33 PM

Yeah cool, can organise - apparently the lip comes with a shitoad of double tape too.

American Dave 04-07-2011 08:35 PM

I have spare ties, 3m double side tape, oh and lots of self tapers FTW

RichX 04-07-2011 08:36 PM

Good man. I ensure some beers will be had. Might even put on a keg for you.

American Dave 04-07-2011 08:39 PM

kekekekeke

Kato 04-07-2011 08:45 PM

Someone say keg?? :D

ImPreSiV 04-07-2011 09:09 PM

I'll come talk shit if there's a keg on offer!

Keep that motor til it goes pop Rich! No need to fix what isn't broken... just yet!

meatbag 04-07-2011 09:18 PM

Keep current motor for sure.

If you are really keen, pump 2 bar into it. See if you can have some fun popping it? then you'll have an excuse to get a 207.

mARC 05-07-2011 08:48 PM

All this talk of cable ties screams driveshaft lulz

RichX 08-07-2011 09:42 AM

Just seen the box for the lip, big - you still down for this davo? Bring all your tools.

American Dave 08-07-2011 10:08 AM

[QUOTE=RichX;583111]Just seen the box for the lip, big - you still down for this davo? Bring all your tools.[/QUOTE]

yep sat early arvo ok with you ?

RichX 08-07-2011 10:20 AM

Yep mate for sure, front of car off the ground a bit? Looking at the lip you have to get under the front a bit and it's pretty low

American Dave 08-07-2011 10:23 AM

find some bricks or wood that you can drive up onto.

American Dave 09-07-2011 01:27 PM

Let me pre-empt the posting of pics by saying the ultrex spec c front lip looks killa Rich, win.

Master D 09-07-2011 01:55 PM

Cant wait for pics

RichX 09-07-2011 02:03 PM

Cheers to Dave for the help, textbook install.

As above :D oh wait there they are stupid iPhone

Master D 09-07-2011 02:10 PM

Ok, i need to fit mine now :-(

JDM_STYLE 09-07-2011 02:16 PM

That lip looks pretty solid and can take a bit of punishment. :icon_thum

RichX 09-07-2011 02:53 PM

Yep wayne mate, very durable lips these and easy to fit. 10 minute job with a beer and a mate. The holes didn't line up with my undertray however and we had to do a few self tapers instead, but all good!

RichX 09-07-2011 05:27 PM

From looking at the front pic, want a more pumped out grill. For $250 ..

Agree luv the 2nd one!!

ImPreSiV 19-07-2011 10:13 PM

Hey Rich, has anyone told you you should colour code your side skirts?

jasonmurray 19-07-2011 10:34 PM

Where can you get the second one from?

LMatt 19-07-2011 10:40 PM

[QUOTE=ImPreSiV;587137]Hey Rich, has anyone told you you should colour code your side skirts?[/QUOTE]

Iv been looking on the way too work too see if you've done this. Have not
Spotted you Lately though either you are sleeping in or I am haha.

RichX 20-07-2011 06:40 AM

Could be the opposite? Waking up the neighbors at 7am ..side skirts not done as I cant find a set the same as yours ;)

LMatt 20-07-2011 07:01 AM

If you can't find em just paint yours :d the normal ones still look good painted I reckon.

RichX 20-07-2011 07:49 AM

Better, but nowhere near as good. Not even going to bother trying $ubaru for obvious reasons. Seem to be pretty rare though.

monkeee 20-07-2011 02:09 PM

Tidy tidy car, new lip looks good :D

LMatt 20-07-2011 02:14 PM

Even tho the price would be drug money just give them a call. Wouldn't hurt , I mean you don't wanna look for them for 3 months then find out they can get them haha.

RichX 31-07-2011 10:11 AM

Picked up some rear brembo's.

Looking for good pricing on: DBA Adapter rotor x2 (retain 170mm handbrake), think DBA P/N - ? DBA42657

What pads would people recommend?

Also need to source dogbones to mount brembo rears / Do you just need the dogbones, or do you need the dogbones + original OEM mouting bracket which comes with them too?

[url]http://www.fastwrx.com/rebradkit.html[/url] ?

The above kit for $549 - Yet looking DBA Website, DBA42657 adapter rotors are $450 a fucking piece??
