*MAXXD* Shane's Impreza Turbo 2000AWD

[Saint AAI]

They're alright. Kinda regretting I bought them, but never mind. They are beginning to be a pain to fit as well. Can't quite get all four holes lined up on the subframes, may need some slight bending to get to fit. I'm going to have another go at it tomorrow morning while at work. Will take some phone pics for now until I get my camera back from the girlfriend.

Crap quality pics, but you get the idea. They weigh about 2kg more than the standard ones which I'm not pleased about, but they do look ok.

They look a LOT better tbf

Think I'm gonna break this. Will lose far to much to sell as a complete car and I'm thinking of getting rid of them all. R5 has already gone.

Changed my mind about breaking it and started to do some work yesterday. Removed the front bumper, lights and grill ready to change the power steering cooler. Also started to unbolt the wings ready for fitting the fibreglass ones, but got stuck with that as I need a star bit to undo some bolts. Will order some fluids and the tools I need today so I can carry on.

It is, here's an old pic of the engine bay, needs a good clean now though:

Tools and fluids are here so can carry on with this. Also bought some filler, primer, guide coat, paint, lacquer and loads of different grades and types of abrasive paper. I'm going to have a go at some of the bodywork myself. Starting with the Chargespeed wings, then I'll think about doing my new bumpers if that goes well.

Managed to get a little further, got one wing off and sheered a bolt doing it so have the fun of getting that out. Had a quick look at how the new wing fits, and wasn't too impressed by it to say it's Chargespeed. It has to be forced in at the bottom to bolt up. Gave them a rub down and 4 coats of primer. This weekend I'm going to give them a rub down again followed by some more primer. When I'm happy I will start the base coat of paint. Anyway here's some pics:
