2008 Part 3

A few weeks after the SMC show I get a 2 calls from 2 different magazines looking to do features!! Happy days!! Well over the moon.

Was very busy getting it all cleaned up and new bits fitted like a Flocked dash! Looks amazing is all I can say and a nice shiney Big Brake Kit - KSport 8pots.

Flocked dash fitted by my main man mechanic Wullie!



Fitted the same day s the dash, 8 pots!




The night of the 1st mag shoot and a cold one in December! Must have been the coldest night for years!! started a 7pm, got home at 2am, bloody hell it was cold!!! Icing on the cake was a an unhappy poileman at 1o'clock in the morning telling us off for parking in an pedestrian walk way!! lol

January sees the pics taken for the next magazine, this time during the day and alot warmer too. A disused warehouse on the southside of Glasgow.

Both features are still to be published, when I don't know, the sooner the better.

2008 Part 2

With the RR looking great!! I'm asked to take part in the 2008 Scottish Modified Car Show Top 50 cars which is a great honor considering its a daily driver and not a trailer queen! 1st time taking part in a show of its size.

2008 Part 1

Another year later and another style! More changes to the Rice Rocket

www.flat4online.co.uk my main sponsor supplies FMIC/full 3inch Racing Exhaust and a few other parts. My other sponsor is www.artelmotorsport.co.uk who supplied the Lime Green silicone hoses which look the part!

The main change ot the RR is the paint work. Decided to give it a major big change. Black roof with black A and C pillars making the car stand out from the crowd even more than it did. Fitted a new Carbon Bonnet too. Touch-ups did a great job of the paint work. Also got the Rota Subzeros alloys powdercoated Gloss black to match the new style which was done by Carrick Engineering in Prestwick

Back to 2007!

The style of the car changed and alot more JDM parts added along with some power upgrades!



Pictures from The Northern Big One ( Largest Subaru meet in the UK) 2007

Luck turning!

With the scoob not running to well the last few months, my good friend Wullie had a look at the RR!

Changed the timing belt and pulleys and gave the throttle body a good clean out and hey presto, back to the way she was running.

Looking forward tomorrow as I going to give the RR a bodywork detail!

2006 Cont:

Nothing really new done to the car. The gathering of parts start and working out the best route to take the scoob.

2006

Early 2006 seeing my first magazine feature!

Fast and Modified magazine March 2006



Very happy as it has been hard getting people to like the style of my car! Its not blue with gold wheels, then its not a subaru or "your've got a spoiler" how dare you make your subaru different from the norm! lol


From there it has snowballed into making my bugeye one of the best about!

2005 also sees a whole new look to the scoob!

Completely different look to the normal very day run of the mill imprezas on the roads.
A full bodykit fitted, Wingswest front and rear lower spoilers along with sidesills. Silver vinyl flames with 'Subaru stars' in various silver & charcoal, while the 19inch alloys are powder coated anrathcite and a Cusco Carbon GT spoiler.

2005

Gets slightly better!

Did my first 1/4 mile drag race! 13.4 secs on a standard turbo with full decat.




Change the Prodrive front mesh to Gloss black.

2004
