I've done mine a couple of times and as happy as I am with the results theirs still those bits you can't get too. I might take out the intercooler aswell then and use some rubber cleaner
I spent very little time on mine , I'd say it's just a good pic. Up close I still have all the bits u can't reach !
Wasted day today.. All the wrong tools, each job I went to do, diff oil and gearbox, no deep 22mm socket, no 10mm hex, then found out that Halfords was actually open today, 5.30pm by this time, could have spent arvo on beach instead
Then I found out that I had lost the wheel locking nut for the 2nd time this year
The PRODRIVE Eibach spings (also the ProR ones) are only a 10mm drop all round.. it's plenty to give great handling, go too low and the car handles totally 'wrong'.
I've been wondering this about dropping too low and handling, mine is on 25mm tein lowering springs all round and understeers pretty bad compared to my last hatch Sti that was standard! I've been putting it down to the tyres.
I personally out grew the slammed look 20 years ago a slight drop will do the job perfectly
The car isn't finished yet as far as I know he has the rear suspension fitted the front is to be done next week then set up height and full fast road geo
Hopefully get it home soon and into body shop for some paint correction
Hoped to drive it this summer eventually
haha yea fair one, mines just gone into the garage for a full wheel alignment so will see how I go in after that but might swap the springs for a 10mm drop if no improvement.

yeah Davy was saying he still had the front to do then get her set up. I think it will look cooooool when the Geometry is set
She looks cool the way she is now as well lol
A reasonable constructive day - I managed to sort the rest of my engine bolts (Bar the one that is missing from the pack 😫 ) and give her a full clean and wax. My first time with the Autoglym HD wax and got to say it's pretty good.
Also first pics with my near rear light overlays fitted (Thanks to Salsa for super quick delivery 👍🏼 ).
A few more bits to sort before Spring RaceDay and Castlecombe in a few weeks, anyone else going?
Your car is looking good! What side/front/rear skirts are you running?
Car severely testing thy patience lol
What did you have done there big-kev
It will be worth it in the end lol. I was getting my carpet replaced after i ****ed my own up trying to get some chewing gum removed. But spent most of the day having a bit of banter and some craic with Davy and the boys
Davy has helped me out a lot since i bought the car and just got her remapped by sir Bob the other week
Hi There
is this the best thread to find an Sti Hatch up for sale?!
I've just sold my Wagon and looking to upgrade to a forged Hatch with 400hp+
Doesn't seem to be many around....my preference is for 2010 model.
Any tips as to where & what's coming up gratefully accepted!
Thanks
any one interested in my STi 17s alloys 114pcd with Dunlop tyres.
Professional powder coated in RAL2009 orange. No kurbing or damage... Great condition.
I only had these for winter use swapping between my 19s from April to start of Dec. I've had them on my car the last 2yrs as didn't know what tyres to have on my 19s.
So as I do no more than 3k a year and the last 12months between MOT its done 2k, these tyres have in total done no more than 7k miles from new.
6mm tread left on each tyre... Seems all the way across too.
Ideal change for someone or use as winter alloys like I have.
Buyer to collect as I don't trust courier not to damage them. (NG4 - Nottm)
£500 or sensible offer.
