As always continuing to put the sandy vags on here to shame. Keep up the good work.

So I think it is about time for an update!

Not a whole lot of awesome upgrades have been happening to the Rx or will be happening anytime soon.....the plan was brembos,6 speed,coilovers ect but now just some basic stuff and weight loss before she goes in storage for some time due to future plans.

Before Racewars I did get a new Process West tmic and I can say it has given the car a bit more bite in the top end and it looks the goods too



flogged the car at RW all weekend long and had a blast and proved my reputation of giving zero fucks for mechanical sympathy is quite accurate





I have also lost a whole 10kgs by smashing out all the sound deadening and that helped me get another 12 and lower 60ft time The next step will be to remove all the A/C components and other bits and bobs!





One of the reasons I haven't been spending a whole heap of money on the Rx is because of my new edition the 1995 Impreza Sportswagon N/A 1.8l auto, bought for $650 running and regoed but with a few leaks. It looked like this when I first got it....





and after a bit of hard work and sourcing some parts it's looking a lot better!





And if 2 Subarus weren't enough well I went and bought another one for $100 The wreck has quite a few parts that I will use, 4/1 pot brakes and swaybars will be going in the wagon and I'll be using the boot,glass,interior and rims for the Rx and have lots of spares which never hurts.



So yeah fun times ahead with pulling this wreck apart and getting the Rx fixed and upgrading parts on the wagon.....I think I have a problem

I was wondering when you would announce on here that you now have 3 cars. I had abit of a laugh when i drove by the other day and saw all 3, plus i assume a friend over in a blue gc8.

Thats awesome

Becoming such a problem that I now have a shed just for car parts and broken bits waiting to be fixed!

Hopefully no other cheap wrecks pop up cause I don't know if I can help myself

Don't know and I don't really want to know!

The look on my mums face when she saw me bringing home one wreck was bad enough....some quick talking sorted the situation but I don't think I could talk my way out of it while 2 wrecks are on the property

You'll be over it once the blue car is pulled apart... I've got the shits and bits from about 4 cars that've been pulled apart in my sheds/cupboards/wardrobes, it's no fun when you run out of room and don't know where everything is anymore
