Id easily be able to do another vent in approx 4 hours. I dont have any full car shots yet as the light is bad but i'll get some soon :D

:notworthy

What he said x10 :thumb:

Where did you get the harness sway bar from, might I ask?

Custom stainless from Speedware motorsport in the USA mate :D

My harnesses are yet to arrive though so looks a little silly without em on lol :D

i have had one of these sitting in my garage for ages and im unsure about getting it fitted as im worried about it leaking where the vent bolts thru the roof !!!

Clear silicon sealant works wonders!!!

I used no sealant on mine at all. Its all designed to bolt up dry and im sure it will be fine.

Looks :cool:

Did you do it yourself?

Have bugeyes got map lights between the visors? Just ask cos I'm thinking of doing this for my classic :)

Yes mate i did it all by myself.. :D

Yes they have map lights,.. these will have to be removed along with the cage thats holds them to fit the vent.

Brave man!

Not sure I could trust myself cutting a hole in the roof. The parts place quoted about £200 for all the bits so I'll be doing it at some point.

Trying to get hold of STI RA blue seats at the moment so the roof vent will have to go on hold - for now :)

Cheers for the info :thumb:

If you get stuck finding any i know of 2 people/places who are selling some :thumb:

Frayz, you are spending too much time surfiing that forum from across the pond, but worth it :D

You know guv :D

What was the cost of the harness bar?

Heya guys,

Sorry i haven't yet had time to write this tutorial that i promised you.

I have been very busy recently, however i do have another vent to fit in a friends STi in the very near future. So I think we will be using his car as the photoshoot for the tutorial as it will be better to have someone else take the pics whilst I do the work.

Check back soon :D

Excerlant you you did there Well done, What did you use to cut the roof, Arse would have been 200 to the Dozen.


Looks really good

I used a Dremel mate.

Heres me fitting one to a mates car :D

Frayz,

If your up in scotland in the next couple of weeks you can do mine! lol

S!

Drive to essex and i would :D

:luvlove:
Confussed! :confused: You still arent on weekend mode and thats your name at the weekends? lol


S! :thumb:

Lol.

Its me posting, just round my girlfriends house. The forum wont let you use 2 usernames from the same IP address :D

lol, i thought that may have been the case.

Just one question, where did you measure from to start the oval? or is it once the inside bracket is attached, can you then work out where the oval goes.?
S!

Exactly that mate :D

Frayz

So what was the cost in the end ?

I appreciate the labour element can add a fair bit but I have a mate that would do it ...............................I think :D:D


First question was serious btw ;)

Cost for what Phil?

The vent kit?

The vent kit is circa £220 landed and painted (sometimes a little more depending on customs charges etc). I wouldnt fit one for less than £200.

So say £450 tops fitted.:thumb:
