the start of my DIY daytime running lights fit...
a few pix as a taster for you, I'll do a full write up when i have them all in and wired up.
But for now here's the idea.
Just gotta neaten the cut out then secure the DTR in the gap, then re fit ll the trim around it.. then wire them up, I'll take a feed off the *** lighter, as that gives power as soon as the ignition goes on.

Fitting the spacers turns out to be not so much of an issue as I thought. The main problem is that the secondary airpump mounts to both the head and the manifold, lifting the manifold puts everything out of alignment so really you need to ditch the pump.

Rob, care to chime in? Does that sound plausible? You've had more of these engines apart than I've had hot dinners!

Doesnt even sound remotly a problem as non of the secondary air pump system is mounted on the manifold, its mounted on the aircon bracket & the passenger cylinder head. the only parts related to the manifold are the wires for the solonoids & pump.
the transfer tube from the pump is bolted to the passenger rocker cover and then onto the cylinder head, The valves are bolted to the engine block and head and also tagged onto the water crossoverpipe.
so fitting spacers I wouldnt see a problem personally.

Yeh suppose your right,but am not one to fooook about with cars would rather pay someone and get it done properly knowing me i'll **** it up. Tbh I do fancy having ago and am planning having my garage turned into a proper car bay with tools and a ramp. Got the idea from some "amazing garage" threads on piston heads etc.
It's also a matter of time to as on the weekdays am busy and the weekends I play footy Saturday and Sunday.

It's a well spec'd car!
I reckon quick private sale £17k given that theres only a months tax on the car and it's going to cost the new owner another £450 for 12 months.
you can price it at 18k, but with the current car market fuel prices and cost of living I'd price it to sell otherwise it will still be up for sale in a few months.
What you getting next fella?

I'd try it at £17999 as its low mileage and good spec.
You can always take an offer (no-one pays asking) so dont start too low, and it only takes one person to really like it and its gone.
If someone is serious they will make an offer and not be put off by the asking price.
Assume you've been through all the ads on Pistoheads etc and see the range of prices asked.

It's pointless pricing a car higher than what you will accept. e.g a buyer may have a budget of 17k which means the car might not even come up in his search. if he see's the car and 17k is his top end of the budget he might stretch a little further and buy it.

Been on a month, got 2 people interested when it comes back from Enginetuner after the Subaru Garage took it for TWO "test" drives having failed to put enough oil in it (put 4 litres but with the oil cooler/pipes takes 5.5litres). They assure me that it is OK to "test" drive the car with no oil showing on the dipstick. I'm sure we are all relieved to hear that
Engine now finished with replacement Cossy bearings and should be back home later this week.
The new owner will benefit from a fully checked/refreshed engine and new clutch (old one developed a slight vibration)
