Question

Guys,

I know I know, do a search and it's all there. Well I can't be arsed so there!

As i've been told by many people who have removed the Resonator Box, it is a tad fiddly and i'm likely to break some of the clips holding the inner wing. But, apart from that it is just a bruised knuckles job.

Has anyone come up with any bright ideas to make the job easier? Car is MY99 STi V TypeR by the way.

Cheers in advance for any help.

Later,
Chris

Cheers Mike,

I did speak to Jase about it earlier in the week. Sounds Fun!!

Just wondered if anyone else had found a quicker, less painstaking method of removal.

Cheers
Chris.

p.s. I won't be popping over today as i'm totally bogged down here at work! . Will hopefully get over next week. I should have enough Millers to last me.

If and when you break the fiddly little clip/stud things that hold the wheel arch liner in place, your local Halfords do similar replacements in a range of sizes. Other than that the whole job is a doddle.

To save on breaking the clips...

I can lend you a big grinder/cutter.... simply cut a section out of the wing.... remove the box through there.. simple.. no broken clips..
