July 29, 20178 yr got every sympathy with you, did that a few weeks back when someone had parked opposite my drive and I screwed up the turn - refurbed all wheels now and that look spot on
July 30, 20178 yr Found a power steering pump 😬 £35 shipped. Can't complain at that. Just waiting game for postman now...ughhhhhh...🤦🏻♂️
July 30, 20178 yr Spent the day at Simply Japanese with our friends over at UKLegacy. Great day with loads of tasty stuff there and even a few good cars I'll Mark this up next year to see if any interest.
July 31, 20178 yr was also at simply jap. saw few nice hatchbacks and wondering how many are members on here. they need to organise site better but lots of great motors. Sent from my SM-J320FN using Tapatalk

July 31, 20178 yr A few interior tweaks today got this new gear knob from the gf for my bday and moved my radio about to make room for my new gauges. Going to mount them in the aluminium sheet that I cut out.

July 31, 20178 yr Took the Forester in for it's MOT today..................Passed ............ first time with no issues. Not bad for a 10 year old, 108,000 mile car.
August 2, 20178 yr Fitted my new Bosch aero wipers. Now when I switch my wipers on they clear water from the windscreen. More than I can say for the old ones 💦☔️
August 3, 20178 yr Had timing belt, tensioners and pulleys changed today. Many thanks to the guys at triton motor services. Great job done.
August 5, 20178 yr Soffened up the coilovers 4 clicks then Drove 370 miles from suffolk to Cornwall. managed to get 310 miles out of a small jdm classic tank [emoji16] Not bad for for a 360 hp car with a boot full of cases and 4 up [emoji41] Admittedly my mapper' s attention to off boost fuelling (not just pub figures) and the UK ratio 6 speed giving me 2750 rpm in 6th at 70mph helped [emoji6]
August 5, 20178 yr Yep turning my 5 speed into a 4 speed was 1 of the best mods I've done [emoji48] As it ment that the mrs had to agree to release the funds for a stronger 6 speed [emoji23]

I didn't know they did different uk ratios tbh but know there's at least 3 different jdm ratios (so it makes sense) My 6 speed was out of a 60k 04 plate blobeye uk sti with ppp (so came with the ppp short shift) was lucky enough that it was a full conversion kit including 6 speed fly ,pink box clutch ,slave and starter motor for £1350 delivered [emoji41]
August 7, 20178 yr Been finishing off my gauges even made them that naff 80-90s green to match the rest of the car 😂
August 8, 20178 yr Finally had rust removed from under the spoiler. And you can see it in full glory at japshow finale. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
