Sorry Chris but the rest of the troops are right. Don't go there

No, but it looks very similar. I do believe that engine belongs to a guy in Europe by the name of Graham.

Europe How about Mother England, you would remember that place Dave Graham has done a great job on this car. He doesn't talk much on here, just goes about doing great work, the blower is an Eaton, different size to the Whipple that Mike uses. You should see his front brakes.

Great work mate.

Brakes

Guys,
As I mentioned in my last post, I have no knowledge of the american Impreza's, only the only the UK and Japaneze units.

When I first ordered my brakes for A6 SVX from my suppliers they thought they were the same as the Impreza, and thats what they sent me. The hub/calliper centres were substantially different, plus the disc offset was different also. So in collaboration with this company I drew up a set of drawings for the SVX which they made which I now have the rights to. So I can't be sure that the US version is the same but I would be 99% sure it is.

I have included a phot of A6's brakes if anyone is interested. The wheels are 18" and the tyres are 245/35 18s.

Hope this helps
Cheers Guys
Graham

PS It is a big safe pulley pulling 6 lbs. I have several pulleys under review

A6 SVX? what is that?
I also guess that your kit works only on 18" and above wheels, right?
