    I am curious about the soaking and theoretical shrinking. I can absolutely see doing this wetting to keep down dust. I use a fan to lightly blow across what I'm wrapping and I wear gloves.
    Because of the materials involved it's hard for me to believe the material shrinks due to getting wet.
    I like this double-thick wrap. If you tend to double-wrap areas this will alleviate the need. I've had small areas, in the very hottest places, melt down to form a thick crust. Most of it remains pliable and reusable unlike DEI Titanium which becomes very fragile and crumbly. I am now ordering to try, this inexpensive wrap with good reviews.

    Thx
    Let me know how much of a difference you think it being wet makes. And as always, post pics!

    I'm not sure if I misspoke in the video, I'll have to watch it again, but I didn't mean to say or imply that soaking the wrap makes it shrink, in fact the opposite is true. Being wet seems to loosen it up making it much more playable, especially for tight radius' like the two 180* bends I did. FWIW I've only ever worked with DEI's black wrap, not sure how it differs from their titanium wrap or other brands.

    We wet the wrap as well, it makes it easier to handle and stretch into tight spots. We are NOT having the best of times with longevity though, thus the reason for ceramic coating the header first to drop contact temps.

    Adam, I posted pics early in my thread showing ceramic coating and wrapping, then spraying. I'll post new ones for the remainder when I get to it.
    I'm considering putting on a temporary exhaust from the donor with the CAT. I am worried they might require that for inspection and I don't really want to ask.... so I'll just put it on temorarily then switch.

    Scargo - I'll have to try that wrap you mentioned. I need more and I'll be doing a run to the US next week.

    Retro - I'll be in Langley to get it inspected. Apparently there is a shop there who is familiar with inspections for FFR cars. Hope its worth it. When I go, I'll give you a shout and maybe stop by if you are around.

    Just working, a lot. Haven't touched the car in two months now, and probably won't for another month unfortunately. But so is life, and I've been off and able to work on the car lots this past year. Good news is when I last worked on the car I drove it, not far or fast, but it was a huge milestone. I have video, just haven't got around to editing it yet.

    Deep sound!!! Seems deeper than the WRX, at least at idle.

    Nice white smoke too. Good way to keep the cops blind so they can't chase you. I knew you were building an 007 car.

    Man that car is so freaking LOW up front!! Man that's cool!! When you got out of the garage we can see.

    I like the deep tone, but I can't wait to hear it at 8000rpm!

    Ride height was set without body, fuel, coolant, windshield, turbo, intercooler or my fat a$$, so it definitely needs to be raised. You can hear the fenders rub a few times in the video, and I edited out the worst of it. Also keep in mind my tires are 1" taller than almost everyone else. 25" front 26" rear

    Thanks! The alignment is actually pretty good, but my early frame offsets the steering rack so my steering wheel is quite off centred. I have the bits to fix it though and correct bump steer at the same time.

    Adam, super progress. I can not image the amount of engineering and patience required to get to this point. Will have a very nice, distinctive exhaust note!

    On another note, do you think the trades the Oilers have done will make them a better team (I just noticed you were in Edmonton)? I am in Oklahoma City and was the AAA farm team two (going on three) years ago and since follow them along with Detroit (originally an Ohio native).

    Thanks! What you see as engineered solutions were just a lot of head scratching, drawing pictures, and just making it work. I call it "figuring". When the wife checks on me and I'm just staring at the car and asks what I'm doing, I just reply "figuring". About half of my build time has been spent doing that.

    I hate to disappoint you but I'm probably the only Canadian that does follow hockey. I used to about ten years ago, but being from the east coast originally I was a Montreal fan. I still watch the scattered game, been to a few, and usually hear the lastest oiler news on the radio. But I've been working out of town so I haven't heard about any trades. Ironically I also feel like I'm the only Canadian that follows Formula 1 outside of Quebec, lol.

    Didn't know about them until just now. I'm not a lover of all beers, and dislike most dark beers. I'm a simple man, I like ice cold corona served by a beautiful woman on a patio.

    If I could only get my wife to bring me a Corona once in a while, but am pleased she just hangs around a gear head like me!

    Since I am in Oklahoma Sooner country, football is an all consuming passion for 90% here; I like to watch but there are other things to do, such as 818 work. Got to keep priorities straight. I just grew up with hockey in Ohio and spent a fair amount of time in the Detroit area when going to school.

    F1 was a big passion some years ago, back when Lotus 49 and Cosworth engines were in vogue, and into the '80s. When the V12s/flat 12s left, my interest waned. My real race passion was CanAm (I am showing how old I am) and early TransAm. As I was close to MidOhio, got to see both many times. Miss those days. I am just an old guy!

    As my wife (who is a crazy hockey fan) has asked, we may make a trip to Edmonton in the Spring to see the Oilers and may buzz through to see Montreal on the way back to the US. May have time to swing by.

    All engineers do that 'figuring' too, they just get paid for it!

    Lol, that is one serious detour on your trip to/back_from Edmonton.
    But I guess the trip is from one coast to another, then it's not a detour.

    We are planning a Canadian hockey trip, and if game schedules cooperate, want to see all the Canadian teams. For several years I visited/worked with a customer located at St Anthony, Newfoundland (aircraft) and sometimes was routed through Montreal coming and going.

    How is the travel using the transcontinental train in Canada?

    Oh man that is one great idea, all the Canadian hockey teams! During regular seasons or playoffs? Your trip would be very short during the playoffs, right Adam? lollll

    Train will give you some BEAUTIFUL sceneries to look at. I don't know if it stops close to every hockey team's city. Probably though.

    Definitely a trip you can't do in an 818.

    I've heard the train through the Rockies is amazing, but east of there would be pretty boring to see. The prairies as so flat you can watch your dog run away for days. Definitely do regular season, not sure when the last time all of our teams made the playoffs. The one thing you'll notice is the fans, very passionate. The oilers didn't make the playoffs for 10 years strait, but still a waiting list for season tickets and sold out arena regardless.

    So you've been to Newfoundland?!? That's where I'm from, and by far the most beautiful part of Canada, although I might be slightly biased.

    Yep, spent a fair amount of time there helping a customer (Grenfell Hospital) get up to speed with their aircraft they used to transport patients. The airline would drop me in St Johns, I would take a POS Metroliner to St Anthony. It is really cool to see the icebergs float by on the ocean. As far as seafood, in the US I am strictly shrimp and lobster. But in St Anthony, they had the absolute best tasting white fish. I could eat it three times a day! Most of the time my time was consumed with aircraft work while there but occasionally Grenfell showed me how nice St Anthony's country side was. And during layover in St Johns, I could visit some of the touristic sites; was always amazed.

As far as seafood, in the US I am strictly shrimp and lobster. But in St Anthony, they had the absolute best tasting white fish. I could eat it three times a day! Most of the time my time was consumed with aircraft work while there but occasionally Grenfell showed me how nice St Anthony's country side was. And during layover in St Johns, I could visit some of the touristic sites; was always amazed.

    I haven't seen much of the northern peninsula, did you get to see the Viking settlements? I'm from St. John's, and being the oldest city in North America it certainly has lots of culture and lots to see.

    My wife also asked me about Viking settlements too, but almost all my time is always used for getting aircraft ready to fly, looking at aircraft, having fuel drip on my head all night, etc. My wife always thought I was lounging around in exotic locales when I just finished a 16 hour day inside an aircraft working fuel leaks on a hot concrete ramp. I am too old and fat to do that any more!

    But to answer your question, I did get to spend time seeing where Marconi sent his first signals across the ocean in St Johns. Was a relaxing half a day waiting on an airline connection.

    And St Johns is the furthest East of any part of North America.

    Sweet build! Out of curiosity, what adapter plate did you use and where did you find it?

    Thanks. I'll contact him. Did he custom build the plate, or just tell you which one that he sells to purchase?

    He makes those plates himself. In my case the bolt pattern on my plate fits a few other subaru transmissions (If I remember correctly).
    But I think he can custom make one to fit your needs.

    Yes, I got mine from VOLKS in Australia. The quality was meh, but the fit was perfect. Sorry for the delayed response.

    Wow, you’re build looks soo clean! Can’t wait to see more. How close are you to having it running?

    I’ve literally been working since I filmed the first drive video, with only enough time in between for family and maybe 3hrs working on the car. Got three weeks off over Christmas, and some goodies ordered, so hopefully I’ll make some progress.

    All I need is to connect the water and oil lines and figure out the starter (have one on order hopefully its the right one). Got the exhaust all welded up just no pic of it yet.
    Then its off to the tuner.
