Return of the Scottish Scooby

Hi folks, long time no speak, I'm coming back out next week and look forward to meeting up with you again!!

I've enclosed some updeated pics of my car, noy much has changed bodywise, but I've redone most of the suspension and brakes -

Up front I have fitted the Brembo GT BBK and on the rear matching 20 groove discs (rotors??) and ferodod DS2500 fast road pads all round.

Suspension has been totally redone with prodrive lowering springs, Whiteline front and rear anti roll bars (swaybars??), droplinks, anti lift kit and power steering bushes.

Updated all new guages (Jon, cheers for the advice on the 52mm!!)

Engine bay has more samco hoses, polished header tanks and brake reservoirs etc, but these pics will follow as I'm not finished yet

See you all soon!!!

Mike

Damn Justin, thought I'd hid the wagon, that was a surprise for the wife!!! She likes black, but I couldn't get it in any other colour but blue as it's a very rare SL WRX Wagon (SL=sunroof and leather), I'll bring some pics or possible post some more before I come over, I'm going to sign off now as it's 00:50 on Tuesday over here and I'm up at 05:30 for work!!!!

Regards

Mike

Can get a lot of nice accessories over here straight from the dealer, although when I was in Cali I popped in to see Ferdie Ang at the dealer in Costa Mesa and he had a really nice line of aftermarket stuff too!!!!

Yeah I live in a really nice neighbourhood, really lucky I managed to get a pic when it's not raining.

I'm sure it's the same as everywhere else, there are nice neighbourhoods and there are also areas that are combat zones, just have to work hard to get what you really want!!!
