Hi Guy's, has any one had a problem with there fuel flap not opening or know how to fix a problem I'm having? When I pull the release next to the seat it's not quite releasing the flap, any help would be much appreciated as I have no fuel to take the car to the garage to be fixed !!!!!!
Cheers
Hughy
Hi Hughy
I had the same problem and once I got the flap open, by having my other half hold the release lever and me then gently pressing the right hand side of the flap in. I then found that the issue was with the flat spring located on the flap hinge, it wasn't forcing the flap open so when pulling the release the flap was just remained in place. I opened the spring out a little and it's been fine ever since.

Thanks for the information Andrew, I will try the same myself.....
It's been a while yet looking to get back in the fold. Currently considering a legacy however if the right Forged hatch or saloon presented itself I'd consider it, so anyone thinking of selling up or know of a good one drop me a PM

Opened up the spring a little Andrew and it now works a treat, thank you very much for the advise.....
I have the axle back Nameless Performance muffler deletes for sale but if your de catted will be very very loud. Posted them here about a year ago. Also had full pro flo system but not sure if garage threw away. this system was too quiet for me. I have Hugh's old 2010 saloon sti now running 420/420. Wish I could afford his brakes lol
Has none fitted spacers to their saloon and if so what size and brand did you go with? Also, are any adaptions needed to the thread or do the standard wheels fit over them fine?

What do you think of the power with the 340 pro r mate?
I bought Hughy's old car 3 years ago but felt very slow with the 340 pro r kit. On roller's it was 326 bhp so I got it forged with sc46 turbo and so on. It now runs 420/420 but still isn't as quick as my 2003 spec C running 360/360 but feels show much more grown up lol.
