They look good mate but I think they are Lifeline copys. Need something shorter. Cant find a boss/quick release combined anywhere!

Thanks mate. After moving the battery to inside the engines playing up. On idle revs rise to 1800 every few seconds and its running super rich, black smoke? The Apexi is showing 5% injector then dropping to 0% and back up to 5%. Any ideas? Ive run the new + cable to starter motor and from there to the fusebox 12v connection feed. Ive earthed the battery - to the body and a seperate earth from engine to chassis. Thanks

Hi guys, major change of plans. Decided to buy a 05-07 Sti now so I will be stripping the car. Various reasons, need a day to day car and the whole trackday thing would be quite alot of grief and expensive. Gutted, but at the same time just having a road car and going back to shows/meets made my mind up. Check sales section for parts, cheers guys.

Bit sad but i covered the original vents with cardboard and taped up tight. Then put plastic sheet on top and stuck in the oven so it formed the shape. Best to do slowly on low heat then smooth over with a skim of filler.
