I love an alternative and I got thinking about the consistency/composition of claybars. The alternative works a treat but only costs 89p per strip in Home Bargains

Great idea! I've never had a go with a clay bar, looks like a cheap way to practice.

Stu,
I could not believe it. There is a small amount of residue left behind but once dry it just buffed off. After a bit of polish then a sealing wax to was incredible value. Onwards and upwards!

Cleaned out the throttle bodies as the do gunge up. Particularly on the FBW cars.

A good dose of cleaning oil and a finish off with carb cleaner.

Wow! Is yours a different dash to that white one I’m looking at Ian? Loving the stereo set up on yours, would it be easy to get the same in that one mate?

I've just taken the wheel arch liners off my dead Impreza. Sure the recent crash didn't help but enough soil to make half a garden fell out from behind the front wheels!

My old red Blob JDM WRX was the same, I could have probably filled a sandpit.

Sat Nav Voice

When you swap the OE JDM Nav set up to UK you lose the voice.
After a bit of searching I found an OE Kenwood Amplified speaker - I hear. getting behind the dash is interesting. Origami human.

The Boost leak is found. The Throttle body to IC hose as fine splits causing a boost leak. You can just detect it as the Twinscroll kicks in.

I think he's sitting on top of a Nepalese mountain contemplating the nirvana of immaculate wheel arches, but he'll be back soon. He is also possibly the UK's biggest fan of jdm Legacys, and will point you in the right direction. I nearly got a gt spec b myself, great cars.
