hey guy's
been hankering after the red sti interior bits for while, but there silly money so decided to hve go myself, the pics dont do it justice, but i did take a big risk doing it, so dont blame me if you copy and it goes wrong...
first the centre dash bit, remove the surround and then take the dials out,
then split them and use red paint to cover the back of the dials, remove the green covers off the bulbs too
then build back up.
next the clocks, remove from the dash and split them, taking the needles off is nerve racking and i though i needed new clocks at one point, lol
once split you need to remove the backing of the dials, its basiclly green then covered with black, i did this with thinners, i tested a piece first, this is were it could of gone wrong,
then i covered with red paint, and again got rid of the green bulb covers,
build back up without the glass on the clocks then use a satnav to set the speed correct, you need to remeber where you fuel was too.
once happy build it back up to finish, i need to do the lower buttons for the fogs, but i can sort that at a later date.
like i say pics are pants but in the flesh its very pleasing, plus i can change the colour of my radio and boost gauge

When you say 'set the speed correct' is this just about getting the needle on right or is there an adjustment
Shame you can't change the colour of the mileage/temp displays to match too

they were already fitted and had been chopped in, they come with norma connectors normaly
Coilovers are gone. In the bin pile of Shute,
Now fitted the prodrive springs and struts it's a bit higher but still should look good.
I tried to undo the arb links but they spun so now I have a slight knock so will get to changing the bushes etc. It's a rattle that can be flet through the feet/pedals. Hoping it's not the shocks.
Drive a hell of alot nicer, not crashy no lift up bumping so that's nice and the rears are silent!!! Heaven haha
Then today i have swapped exhausts with a lads member. Can't remeber his username. it's a magnaflow system with angles back box. 3"as spouses to the 2.5" system I had on the tsl with miltek centre pipe. So thinking slight map adjustment from mr carr.
Final thing today I got to use the snow tyres. Really good. Got home up our hill the car performed flawlessly, but the mrs is really twinging now sonbaby may come soon just hope it's not tonight as were in whitworth and were booked to go to burnley haha
