  1. no Mike electrics are disconnected I'm afraid these one are handraulic, beggers can't be choosers lol
  2. Finally got off ma & got round to fitting the go faster mirrors today only took 30mins well chuffed with them
  3. Hi & welcome mate nice lookin car
  4. Looking good Gordon whats next mate ?
  5. I think like the rest of us while the car is under warranty you'll just have to keep pestering the garage, all they will fit is the crappy KYB struts, the only way to go is get a set of teins fitted but until youv'e got a spare grand just keep throwing it back at them.
  6. Already had 6 new shocks fitted to mine, first time they replaced the rear ones & shortly after replaced all four, cars due a service soon & i'm convinced the front nearside is on it's way ouy again although the car still handles fine. Always felt the 270 was a bit light at the front end but have not had any handling problems.
  7. I'll second that, the day I picked up my old STI one of the first things I wanted to do was slacken them off a bit but they were feckin solid, took a trip back to Grieves & let the mechanic shear all four locking nuts & wreck the tool I said I couldn't have done that better myself. They had to call in snap on & get an external nut extracter to remove them, nae good if the wife gets a puncture
  8. Aye the barstewards are all crawling out of the woodwork now, I wondered how long it would take after the first print appeared on flea-bay before others would jump on the bandwagon. Fcukers make me sick, this was supposed to be a fund raising event for true subaru fans of Colin Mcrae, a chance to be involved in a one off occasion rant rant rant
  9. Don't give up your day job, no offence but he is a yank
  10. Good news Ritchie I bet your well chuffed & grinning from ear to ear, enjoy mate
  11. These are just what the Welsho's looking for Paul
  12. Pic as requested
  13. Ring Karl at power supply & he will sort you out http://www.psupply.co.uk/ 01684 292555 He will get you the larger rubber seal, just use the plastic fasteners from the old one to attach it to the zero sports undertray, Karl can supply both if your stuck. Bobby
  14. John have you seen the prodrive bucket seats on flea bay worth watching mate
  15. Pretty sure if I remember you need the 18 inch wheels to clear the brembo calipers, i had to use 3mm spacers to get away with it when i had a spare set of 17's
  16. Cheers guys A Plan came out tops at £534 fully comp protected for myself & Mags to drive, 6000 mls annual milage, all mods declared & one minor accident in Mags van, must admit got some very amusing quotes even for an old git, £7000 & they had the cheek to phone me bobby
  17. Nice one Gus, what the wife doesn't know she can't complain about
  18. Cheers guys I'll give them both a bell tomorrow aft when i get up
  19. Definately I've only been without for ten months in the last 12 years ''Scoob that is lol'' They are like a drug you need your daily fix
  20. Admiral have divorced me due to the MOD's, they're covering it till Friday Need to buy some new insurance tomorrow afternoon cause i'm taking the car out on Friday Any recommendations
  21. I had a C & C system on my STI & it was the dogs b*****ks but the noise really gets annoying on a motorway run, should try a Hayward & scott center pipe with your back box first it will give you the burble without being too loud, C & C could make you a center pipe before removing the cats or speak to Gus the Bus he can usually get you a good deal Bobby
  22. John It was recommended to put the longer cooler EVO Plugs NGK ILFR7H in the 270 for the 2.5L engine when I had the mod's done they're about £12 a pop
  23. looks the Biz with the front splitter love it in black enjoy
  24. Andy F ports & polishes the turbos prior to delivery As for the TMIC you'll have to phone Carl at power supply (01684 292555) he should be able to help, they come off new JDM STI cars that have docks mileage on them prior to the cars going to get turned into Litchfield 25's, when I phoned he had 5 on the shelf, you can pay £300 for a poor condition one on flea bay, better spending that extra few quid
  25. As the car is not a year old yet mainly went for new parts from trusted sources, Dunc keeps the run of the mill things in stock ie filters, plugs, pumps etc as for the turbo I've seen some abvertised at lower prices but they are not what they say they are, so stuck with Andy F the main man. VF 34 Turbo - Andy F £625 new Version 10 JDM STI TMIC - Power Supply £300 new Zerosports Undertray & rubber seal - Power supply £140 new Air circulation resonator delete elbow - Jap performance parts £20 used Green Panel air filter - Hypertech Walbro 255ltr/hr Fuel pump - Hypertech EVO Plugs NGK ILFR7H - Hypertech Prodrive Sports Cat Exhaust - GRD Racing £300 used 4000 mls Ecutek custom remap - £550 Andy f Only additional cost is Labour for fitting & the dreaded VAT rip off
