Good job buddy, pig of a job but really makes the ppp box look much nicer.

 

It sure does!

I actually used a medium flat head screwdriver and scratched it all off, then 600 grade sandpaper wet to bring the metal back nice and shiney and remove the little scratches. Doused them in Autosmart Tardis too, did jack *** *ha! Just need to use metal polish to finish it off next. Probably still took 20 mins per tip to complete.

 

Yep, I found the flat head did the bulk of the work, also found many of the bits that chipped off tended to fly up towards my eyes!

Wire wool did a good job too for the lip using the flat head to run it round.

 

Looking good Jamie , still enjoying it ?

No crap in my eyes thankfully ha!

I might go onto the engine bay again, this transport wax everywhere will not beat me after doing those tips.

Yeah dude I like it. A few design niggles pee me off, but I dont regret buying it just yet

 

anyone know the part number.. or where I can get the plastic bit... (bottom right of this pic)

I require, both sides. Its the bit at the back of the mesh next to the fog lights.

 

Anyone with ast's on thier hatch. Have a set on my saloon and wanted to play with the settings. The front adjusters are fine it's the rear. I can't find the gold adjusting dial anywhere. I know on my 05 type 25 they were on the top of the strut by the back window but there's nothing there on the saloon! Did AST make a non adjustable rear damper

Any help appreciated

 

I'm afraid that you cannot get the black piece separate Phil. It would have to be a complete surround assay. But they are crazy money £90 a side

 

Stevie. Have you had a look under the boot floor to the sides half way along each side towards the rear seats you'll see the nuts which hold the struts in place so you'll see the adjuster if fitted.

 

bummer, I can get both sides for £70 from a breakers, but don't need all the other bits

 

I'm just after the OE rear 16mm bar, not an aftermarket one. Thanks!

Just a case of finding someone who has it laying around in their garage after upgrading

 

Cheers dude, will check it out

 

Had my car polished by a friend of mine last weekend, very happy with the result

 

Evening fellas, just about to pick up MY08 STI Hatch but have a few questions. It's got a FSH with the last being 46k, now on 55k. I realise it will need a cambelt at 60k but for now I've booked it in for a oil service and compression test for peace of mind. It's totally OEM, and will only ever see cosmetic mods really (the missus's car) so a nice set of Rota grids, lowering springs and JDM rear lights. Is there anything else I should have checked whilst its on the ramp? I've already told the garage it's a new buy so I suspect they will give it a good once over anyway.

 

Very nice Snarson,
R205 badges would look nice on the side of yours👍

 

who with a Hatch is attending the NBO on the 30th June?

 

Me as usual, I'm there from sat onwards setting up etc

 

Heres my 2008 STI Type UK.
Standard at the mo, just done the rear Fog to a clear with Red LED. Not really any plans to mod it.

 

Nice.

Get some mud flap on. :-D cheap easy mod.

 

Yay another dark grey, Im guessing from your location your based near Twickenham?

 

No thanks ripped the rear bumper of the classic to many times by trapping my flaps between the tyre and the curb.

yep thats me

 

Hi guys,

Quick question, Will adding a ppp back box and possibly second decat and deres remove my cars warranty?

 

Cool, not a million miles away. Really need to try and get down to another Surrey meet.


James I would think the PPP backbox wouldn't but removing the middle pipe cat would?

 

Ok mate what do you think about removing resonator tho as that's after the cat?

 

You'd be more than welcome We're still meeting at the Fairmile, no more Newlands Corner though

 

another nice grey hatch !

will keep an eye out for u nx Saturday 8th june as am bringing youngen down to Twickenham to do rugby training camp @ HQ with Ben Kay & Austin Healey

 

Good looking SatNav ....

 

yeah a really nice bloke did it for me

 

What i'm saying I know is not gospel, but i'd be sceptical about maming any core changes to stuff related to the engine just incase the worst happens. I know im not till the blocks been forged.

 

I removed my resonator no problems at all.
