nice one @fpan - looking forward to the review!

 

Quick wash before hosepipe ban

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

 

Slightly better view from a post on here

 

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.

 

I went with Pedders through Alyn at AS Performance

 

Thanks, ive just looked on their website theyre £79 each did AS do a better deal?

 

It was a while ago to be fair best to ask @stockcar

 

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.

 

I've got a set of Brembo HC discs and HP2000 pads for sale, brand new complete set (front and rear), £615 delivered to a UK mainland address. I can bring these to Rally Day as well.

 

Still not missing my scoop

 

is that a diesel...?

 

no they have a bonnet scoop

 

Dammit

 

Have a nice set of wheels which came off a hatchback Spec c with new Bridgestone tyres on if you know anyone interested then please pass my number onto them,

Thanks

Continuing my refresh theme....new wheels have now been repainted




car booked in for full brake refresh in a couple of weeks then will stick the new wheels on

 

They look sweet.

 

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

 

Any recommendations for a car cover for STI hatch?

 

Indoor or outside ??

I had this one for my Hatch and it was perfect, I’m sure they do outside covers too

Outside

 

try Hamilton classics

I've one for the car when it's outside.... the size yo need is for an estate car, as the hatch has a higher rear boot line. it also fits well around the wheels.

 

Thanks both, will have a look

 

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.
