I've not touched it for a few years so not sure if I can be classed as 'on it'

Hope all is well with you and yours

Well the house is finished Si...and plans a' foot to rebuild the garage/workshop so it's getting some Vit D this year for sure

I'm widening the whole structure so hope to have some inside workspace instead of just a normal garage

I hope you and yours are all well in these weird times

Injury stopped play Trev; have the most awful sciatica so having to take it easy, but physio is helping...age is catching up with me

AlI I have left to do on the shed is finish boarding out, build and assemble internal wall/sliding door, final fix electrics, paint the floor, and put cladding on. I have also cleared another part of the garden, build another concrete slab, and stuck a greenhouse on it, so in my defense, I haven't been sitting around, even when injured...in fact, I can't sit in the S2000 for more than about 10 minutes. Which is annoying

You and yours all good?

I found this thread via google searching "DIY parallel fuel rail setups" & read from 2008. I've read it before but what a rollercoaster, awesome

What does the to do list look like if you don't mind me asking (& it's healthy for us to talk about our problems ).

Thanks, just read that. Used to have an oil Gen 4 Leggy, went to the Alps many times.
Did you notice a big difference with the Sti rear arms and link? On my jdm hatch they were night and day.

Well it's a big old boat, and prior to fitting all the sti gubbins it was a bit too wallowy for my taste, steering in particular was a bit dead. You still feel the weight of the thing when changing direction and stopping, but it feels a bit sharper, a bit more responsive and less lazy all round. It's no sports car though!

Well worth the hassle of finding and importing the bits in my opinion
