Where'd you get that from?

Hi rik

Yeh thats my mates, if I remeber it is actually one of his crashed bikes (Kevin Schwantz's) as it has scrapes on the fairings!!!

Right, for all intense purposes the car is back on the road, I have a few bits left to do/sort, but yesterday i drove it home, its been emotional, so I will let the pics do the talking, these are all from this weekends final build.

All thats left really once its run in is mapping, but that may have to wait due to me buying some nice brakes

Pretty chuffed with how it looks now....roll on it being run in 8)

Looks spot on Blacky - still very standard looking but some nice touches.

What sort of figures are you hoping for in the end?

Cheers dude

I like the fact that it looks sutble, well as sutble as a Impreza with a big wing can look

Well, its still on teh standard Turbo so the figures won't be amazing, but looking to get it mapped to run teh VF28 really hard and aim for 330/330 type figures hopefully....then I need to concentrate on learning how to drive it properly again!

Do you have any mesh in front of the intercooler :?:

Cheers Lee

No mesh on there at the mo....not sure whether I should of not???
Main thing is to insulte the IC piping to stop lotsof heat soak, should be using some heat blankets for that task.
