Sorry guys, I'm out. Wasn't a head gasket problem, rather my turbo died on me.

If I can be bothered getting it sorted out before the cruise then count me in.

But at this stage, it's not looking to go that direction.

turbo easier than head gasket.

Turbo has to come off to do gasket anyway....

But I could have added ARP headstuds if I needed a new head gasket, so that was something to look forward too, because who doesnt like new things? lol

Hey guys,

I just had a chat with a mate of mine who is keen on taking his new ride on this run with us.

It's a very rare car ........ 1998 Subaru Impressa WRX STI 22B.

I'm not sure if many of you are up to speed on these but in a nutshell here are the facts.

Only 424 were made worldwide. On the release of the sales, all 400 Japanese units sold out from 30 minutes to 48 hours, depending on the report. Another 24 were produced for export markets—16 for the UK, along with another 5 for Australia, and 3 prototypes.

The Australia cars cost $132,000 complied. This is no ordinary WRX!

You can read a bit more about it here - http://www.motormag.com.au/reviews/0905/legends-1999-subaru-sti-22b/

He doesn't want to tread on toes as he knows it is fundimentally a Skyline group but if he's welcome he'd love to come.

Here are a few pics we took when he bought the car. And yes, the widebody is 100% factory original.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
