I've counted thousands of pounds worth on that build so far, how much do you think it's going to cost all In all? It's a mega impressive spec, excellent work

Thanks mate I would hate to think of the cost, but it dont feel as bad as I have saved up over about 3 years putting money down or buying the odd part here and there.SJ.

Awesome parts Adrian,Twin plate is good,but really pain in **** drive in traffic or town
RCM rotated kit is regarded as best and about the ceramic coating,not sure,we are using heat wrap and we will see how will works,agreed ceramic coating seems working well,prices are much higher than for DEI heat wrap

Speak with Neil,what he will recommend you and I would go down this route

And agreed on the cost of modifying,quality parts cost money and you are using great and quality parts

I Let my wife at my car yesterday to do a couple of minor jobs on my car.Since i have owned my car i can count the times on one hand to how many people have sat in the back,so i decided that the rear seats are coming out and the fronts and will be replaced with two racing seats,my wife now has made claim on my sti interior,so they will be coming out and going into her car.So i decided that i would lose the grab handles and fit the harness bar that i bought off of steve on here.She has got abit foward of herself and started to pull out my heater surrounds for some more of her aquired new skill of spraying plasti dip.No pictures yet of harness bar fitted as we run out of time to do it,but heres a few pics of her dismantling my car..SJ.

BEFORE.



AFTER.









HEATER TRIM REMOVAL.









HARNESS BAR.

fitting will be done soon.SJ.
