Got a nice package this morning! Just waiting on the Spigot rings to turn up to fit them!

Thought I’d do another update for those following,



My power steering had developed a whine and the belt was squeaking. Found something online that suggested that an o-seal from the power steering pump to return hose was shot and dragging in air. For a couple of quid it was worth a punt. 10 mins work and it has appeared to have done the job, Old one had gone hard and square. No more air in the reservoir and no more whine. Also gave the tensioner a turn or two and solved the belt squeal. Thought I would include the part number should anyone want to know.





Fitted a front lip from HT Auto’s. Ideally wanted a genuine STi one but wasn’t prepared to spend that money for a bit of plastic that ultimately I’m going to take off on the first speed bump I encounter.



I’ve also fitted the new Wheels

Is that splitter fitted/finished? I see daylight between it and bumper. Itll rip once you're travelling at a decent mph. On my old hawk I used 2x nut/bolt to secure the mid section in conjunction with normal plastic push clips to make sure it never came off!

I've the genuine one on my hatch and its bolted up in a couple of places if I remember correctly.

Wheels looks great

Haha, good spot!

It’s not finished yet, my drill ran out of puff half way through. I couldn’t resist a picture though

Default Brake Disc Hubs

Gambit

You say you are going do the brake disc hubs black. What paint are you using for this please?


[QUOTE=Gambit;12077785]Give the headlights a resto, still to do brake disc hubs black and then refit the rear cosworth shocks now that they're back from bilstein

What colour revolutions? @CharlySkunkWeed had them on his in a deep bronze colour and looked well.

Few pics I snapped there showing my dirty flaps lol they are a thin hard type plastic. I put the prodrive decals on them myself.

halfords do a high temp engine enamel in a small pot went on quite well. Cant say how well it will last but should be fine.

Spotted a tip online to use Pears soap on the leather to clean it up and rid the shine. I was pretty impressed for a product that cost me a couple of quid.

Little update...

Treat the Car to some new mats, tried to clean the old ones in the washing machine and they disintegrated

Due an oil change and decided to refresh the gearbox and rear diff at the same time.

Also went out for a drive with a few mates this aft in the rice machine, we’d caught up with another friend who’d been out on a Supercar run out around the lakes, some moneys worth of cars there, should have took some snaps!
