Small update. Picked up upper and lower braces.

old brace looked better but sure its sti parts!










One question, can someone get me a pic of how their brake booster hard pipe is located/secured. Mine was moved as part of fmic fitting way back but now running very tight to brace itself underneath - you can see where I foam padded between the bar and brake booster pipe

No photos (always hidden behind intercooler) but from parts software



Looks like yours has been cut and bent to suit.......



Did find one of mine poking out at side of intercooler

Ahh that makes a bit more sense. I'll maybe take it off again see if I can locate the hard pipe a bit further down the down the bulk head in that case

My front top mounts need replacing can anyone recommend any replacements. I was looking at the whiteline ones but have heard mixed reviews on them.

Swapped the tyres from the Prodrives to the OEM wheels and the Prodrives have been collected from their new owner.

Whiteline camber adjustment is good for handling but I had two sets fail in short succession, as have lots of others.

Default Geo settings

Does anyone know what the suspension Geo Specs are for the CS400? Apparently the Hunter alignment places only have specs for a standard STI. Im assuming due to the different shocks and springs, it should have its own specific settings?

i'm going to hazard a guess and say they used the same geometry with the revised spring/strut, increased track & 10mm ride height drop all making the difference.

alternatively you could contact cosworth directly - they are usually pretty decent at responding i found when querying CS400 stuff

thanks, unfortunately I’ve not had any luck with Cosworth for any information. I asked them about the rhino skin heatshield and springs since all 4 needed replacing. I managed to source springs from Alyn but even with the part numbers for the rhino skin, I can’t seem to find a supplier .

I think you’re probably right re the standard setup, will see if anyone has any other info. If not I will just get a customised setup

I need some inspiration for the engine bay, to see how others have made their engine bays on the hatch look neat and tidy, any pics of hoses, carbon parts and general neatness of your engine bays would be appreciated.

My current engine bay:
