marklythgoe1983 Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Thought while the sun was out i would swap the gauges the car already came with an oil pressure an boost gauge but they were in bar so swapped them for some gauges in psi (they were straightened after the photos were taken), also ripped out some dodgy wiring how the car has not gone up in flames I don't know live wire from the battery to the gauges rubbing on the body and random wires going from the radio, cigarette sockets bare wires going to know were so spent 3hrs rilping wires out and rewiring the car 1 Link to comment

insane clown Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Yes mate spent a fortune over the years modding, repairing and maintenance!, first one was a my96 UK wagon turbo, back in 2004 to 2008 got that running 311bhp. Sold it as it was taking over my life!! 2009-2010 had a my94 WRX then 2011-2012 had a Forester s-turbo...... Which I bought back july 2019!, was a mess and only got back on road 22nd Aug this year. Dont regret it, it was sentimentla. Has a prodrive upgrade from new too. Link to comment
