Done a few bits regarding the engine swap. but still stuck on this idle control valve plug. Got a trusty friend looking into swapping over the 3pin plug for a 6pin. hopefully knuckle down this weekend change the struts and upgrade the brakes all round. change the diff over replace all fluids.

which is really good for dealing with oxidation and fine scratches. It's also great as the last stage in a sandpaper application.
However, I've yet to find anything that prevents yellowing. I think once the UV coating is gone you're going to have to replace them or accept the fact you need to refresh them once a year.

This is what I used on my old Golf GTI. Everyone on the Mk5golfgti forum raved about it and was very good.

Replaced my cabin filter, first time I have changed it and it appears to have been well overdue... For something that takes 5 minutes to do I will be checking this more regularly now.

I honestly thought the Subaru air system was either rubbish, or mine was broken until I changed the filter & fished this receipt which was in the round fan itself causing mass vibration. It's actually fine now and the air con is really nice and cold with good airflow though the whole cabin.
Old air filter.
Receipt I found in the fan itself causing vibration and rattling.

Lol i nearly said who's Jack
A few of us helped my mate remove his down pipe and turbo,
had to remove from top of engine, online guides said about removing one side of the the exhaust manifold to get the up pipe out. So i don't think you do have to jack up engine.
Mate used jack from his boot to jack car up, while underneath, jack slipped, but believe he was out at time

Purchased a spare pair of fog covers in silver for my FSTI a few weeks back so I had another set to play around with and make some custom air ducts. These things are quite rare so I snapped them both up.
Over the last week I've prepared and repainted the new covers in WRB and had a full set of custom STI stickers made for the car in a colour that compliments the wheels.
Fitted the new fog covers this morning.
