Got up early and got my new stuff fitted from yesterday





I started at the back, doing the rear strut brace (the hardest bit) first and moving forward...

Rear Strut brace
Hardest bit was getting the mounts in, easily done when you take the rear seat belts out.


That's the mount back in with the seat belts back in.


Both mounts in, now just connecting the centre bar.



All done


STI Seats
This was simple really, the back seats had to come out to do the rear strut brace anyway so it was just a case of putting the new ones in place of the old ones.

This is original interior, as you can see, not exactly acceptable for a show stand car. After taking them out I thought it an ideal time to hoover the floor and get all the crap that's usually hidden. Even found myself some money....110jp YEN, about 30p




New STI Seats in after a good clean and hoover.



Front Strut Brace
Before: The top nuts were pretty solid, I managed to get them off and copper greased the threads before I put the mounts on.


After: All on and tight. That was me done.


Thanks for looking

 

looks good mate

 

Cheers. Decided to go for a drive and found the seat belt clasps were knackered on the sti seats. I should've checked them really, not to worry, 10mins later and the clasps from the original seats were fitted to the car again.

 

is your intercooler missing that strut brace? because that looks like the same one i have and it bangs it *** off on it,when u do abit of rapid driving

 

bangs on the corner

 

Nope, not at all. I remembered you saying about that when you fitted yours so i checked, it clears it no problems. Might be an idea to check your engine mounts, if they've gone soft they will let the whole engine move more.

 

doesnt bang when i drive it nicely,, just when the rev limit wont go anymore and the car feels like blowing up it starts to bang

 

but i will check em as ive been told before about my engine mounts,

 

btw car looks better

 

sound job looks well rich..

 

nice 1 mate starting to take shape..

 

big smiles can i have that YEN???

 

Thanks guys Its coming together nicely now, will be a trip to the powdercoaters eventually. I'm really please with the result of those seats.

 

as ****....

 

lookin good
