Foiled Again

[pmacFTO]

Got my mechanic mate to pop round to help me fit the new exhaust then found out we don't have gaskets (the ones on mine look a bit rusty so we don't want to re-use them), called Livi Auto parts, Pentland Components and Dingbro and none of them have any for a Subaru WRX?? Main dealer only?

Anyone local to me (Livingston) know where I could get some or even have some I could buy off them. It's never easy eh?!!

btw - are the hangers the same for a newage STi as my WRX? The exhaust is an STi one.

Yes

Cheers - Gus is a good call but he is thru in Falkirk and I'd be at Grieves by that point anyway Unless he is out and about! lol I'm amazed no factors have gaskets...

Thanks for info Welsho.

I wonder if it's worth just going to Hypertech and getting Duncan to put it on - he prob has gaskets in stock!

Go to your local kwik fit or tyre/exhaust centre you may well get them there

Aye we called one Kwik Fit but no luck - as it happens it's getting new tires and pads done tomorrow at Kwik Fit as an SIDC member (Risin Son) works there so I'll ask him about fitting that too - altho I know they don't like to fit parts not bought from Kwik Fit themselves.

I'll see if Leon can do a homer in his lunch break

...pads done tomorrow at Kwik Fit ...

Eh?

[pmacFTO]

Eh?

Brake pads are being fitted (if they arrive from Godspeed today!)

[gus the bus]

Paul,

I'll check when i get home tonight if I have one. Failing that it will probably be Saturday (or poss Monday) before I could get one from Paul.

I'll get back to you if I have

Oh that's a relief, I thought you were going to have them supply something from their range

[pmacFTO]

Cheers again all

Gus - It's ok - Leon got the exhaust fitted for me - he said they had to check the engine was turned on so I'm not sure what I'll think of it being so quiet but it's going up for sale soon anyway - thanks tho m8

Thx to bobbyc and the lovely clean STi backbox he sold me my car is happy again - but very quiet! I have to say - it's quite nice for a change lol - only problem is I am driving it faster as it's not making any noise and there's no drama when you put your foot down - apart from the boost in speed!

It's made it even more of a sleeper - little do people know there's 300bhp under the bonnet of that unassuming WRX that just passed them

And, since the new F1s went on the car is handling great - so Falkens get the thumbs down from me!
