Still looking factory fresh and stunning as usual Nic.

Very quality mods and parts used as well.

How is the NVH with all the Group N parts as compared when she was stock? Were all the Group N parts and pillowball bushes installed together at once?

Do you have any idea if RCM sells the catch tank as a kit?

Thanks mate to be honest the NVH is virtually the same as before. Slightly more vibration at idle but thats it. The car feels so much tighter and responsive. Yes they were all installed together.
You can buy the catch tank as a kit from them but it'll take some custom work to make it look like mine. PM me if you want a heads up

Godspeed brakes mate, he's on here. Top guy top service, highly recommended. It's the second set he's done for me. How's your quest for seat rails? I might be looking for some

Stunning car with quality modifications.

When are you going to the Ring?

What's the advantage of the RCM oil catch tank with e.g. Prova's air/oil separator?

Surprised it made very significant difference on the Spec C. The driveline on my hatch STI feels so much looser as compared to the Spec C and i've just bought some of those Group N stuff for it. Can't wait to have them fitted. Good to know they'd benefit the Spec C as well as.

I bought the Prova air oil separator, but that goes on top of the oil cap and comes in contact with the under bonnet insulator and just doesn't look half as neat as RCMs. I'll PM you soon.
