Superb job on the stereo rusti

Stereo looks much better! Dose it sound better over OEM?
I have the factory sat nav and it sounds absolutely terrible! Pondering if to ditch it for one of those Apple car plays.

Over the weekend I went to put in the rear crossmember mount insert bushing kit - KDT902 and it didnt really get off the ground. The bolt heads are in poor condition so I think this ones going to be a garage job. Its clear form the picture they need doing though.

Been bad at updates, so here goes. The weather has meant the Whiteline bushes have still not gone in yet which is annoying, however the dealer I bought the car from had fitted new discs and pads but I started getting bad vibration under breaking so these got bought to replace them. Godspeed disks and Project MU pads. The difference is huge much better bite when compared to the rubbish Pagid kit that was taken off.
The vibration has almost gone now, however there is still some so further investigation is needed.

You really need to fit the sti chassis strengthening kit and top brace with the lower brace, to complete the circle; otherwise the flex is transferred to where you don't want it. I ran the top flexi bar alone for a year, and really didn't feel any benefit. Ignore me if you already have the other parts ( the lower strengthening kit is the most important partner for your brace)

There is a big difference between "solid"
and "Flexi"
when combined with the other two parts.

The full STI Performance Package including the rear pillowball lateral links and pillowball rear subframe supports
The outer bearing in the rear hub for the main lateral arm is an OEM pillowball from the get go.

How low does the lower brace hang from the ground then? Any potential scraping issues on speed humps?

I havent noticed any issues, however my car is standard height. That said it isn't much below sump height so if I was hitting that I would be more worried about other things. As with all STi parts it was a tidy install.
That particular bush is probably the easiest to install, it certainly was for me, mainly because youre not trying to squeeze it into anything like you are with the other shifter bushes.

As already posted in the hatch thread, The car is showing the classic signs of head gasket failure, I have spoken to Alan Jeffery who couldn't have been more helpful and decided that the gaskets need doing. This meant it was also time to look at forging the 2.5 engine, so the car is off to Engine Tuner tomorrow to start the work.
More updates to follow.

At least it's going to Alyn and you know it's going to be perfect when you get it back. Good choice.
Also, good job you've still got the Foz to drive around then!
