The ship is now 3 days ahead of schedule, so the estimated date at Newcastle is now the 7th of October instead of the 10th.

It's ok it'll be in a bonded storage unit until the import duty is paid and then it'll be on it's way down to Leeds for the necessary prep, VOSA test and then it's down to the DVLA to register it.

I know how rare these wheels are and how much a replacement new set would be, around £3000 inclusive.

Thanks Simon, as long as he keeps the Somali pirates away all will be good.

My carbon fibre mud flaps, Hella Supertone horns plus the red Samco radiator hoses have arrived.

Just the red Samco engine ancillary hose set to arrive, plus I'm trying to source a quality set of front and rear strut braces - some from Summit Racing or Ultra Racing should fit the bill.

I've not got them with me except for the Samco hose set.

There will be plenty of pics soon enough, only around 3.5 weeks until it arrives in the UK.

It is that, my old Brembo rear calipers now they've been refurbished in tornado red do look very nice indeed and will look great with my old AP front brake calipers.

I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of them fitted to your car.

They are about the best on the market along with Summit Racing, I got a good deal and trying to find used was proving impossible.

Well not too long, and at least GTA 5 will help pass the time.

Yes handling and brakes before power, it'll be having a remap for UK fuel but I'm not chasing power anymore.

It'll be having some poly bushings to tighten it up somewhat and replace what are likely to be worn / perished bushes given there likely to be 11 years old.

If I can improve upon what I know the S202 is capable of, I'll be very happy indeed.

That's what I'm thinking Simon, although all the suspensions arms are the uprated STi pink items (not even the Spec C models had them as standard), so hopefully it'll just be a case of getting new bushes fitted if required.

I'm thinking more of the subframe, diff carrier and chassis related mounting bushes with uprated poly items.
