Are these the vents advertised on eBay? What's the quality like? And do they seal well or does the wind whistle through them?
yes same ones as on eBay ,,,,gussy would be a better person to ask about weather they whistle as my car hasn't moved yet lol ,not sure they would be a good idea on a every day car as there isn't a seal as such , happy with the quality though
engine bay is more or less there now just a bit of tidying to do , its now running again but still need to do one or two more bits of wiring before all the seats and stuff go back in and then it still needs mapping for the alkatec ,, also fitted boost oil pressure and temp gauges
starting to get there now ,, been finishing off the bits of wrring inside for everything as with the loom being stripped iv had to wire all the extras in from scratch and I'm not great with wires so have had to take my time a bit
still waiting on the spoiler to be sprayed and iv got another front bumper for it as I'm not happy with the fit of the current one
need to fit the mud flaps and check everything is tight and I think thats about it then until mapping and wheel alignment
once its out of the garage in the daylight ill get some pics up
still waiting on the new bumper and spoiler to get here but its more or less ready ,oh and need to fit my harnesses, should be ready for a MOT next week and then ill book mapping for the alcatek
will be up for sale soon so anyone who is interested please feel free to pm me ,, as far as a px goes I would be willing to px with a newage sti and money my way
still doing a few bits to it as I'm not completely happy with the spec so upgrading some stuff,,, but got it out in the daylight for the first time the other day and got to say it looks very nice ,, since the pics the new bumper is fitted and spoiler is on but still not happy with the spoiler so will be getting a different one done I think lol
this is now complete and ready for sale , will be going up for sale properly in mid jan once I'm back from holiday,, but happy to talk to anyone interested in it now and go over any details
Shame to see your selling it Dom after all the work you have put into it.
was always my intention to sell once I was finished mate ,i was going to use it for a event or two but I can't bring myself to get it dirty let alone hurt it on the track lol ,, at the min my OCD is kicking in with finger prints lol

quick update for anyone who might be interested ,,, been in the garage a while over the winter not doing much ,, but iv now fitted the 6 speed box and rear end ,, and have done some engine bay bits to tidy things up (not to everyones taste but I like it ), added fuel rails and swirl pot ,, slowly getting there and hopefully won't change my mind about spec this time lol

shes gone to a good home dom , have you bought something to replace the hatch and this yet ?
iv got a blob sti that I brought to fly around in while I make my mind up but I think iv chosen the next motor lol ,there was a few on the list but iv got it down to one or two now lol,, im after a Bentley GT SPEED if I can get one that I like ,,, or possibly a Supersports but I prefer the speed really ,,, or possibly a M5
