I went through a chap called Ryan at Club Japan Imports. He is excellent and very knowledgable. If you message him through his Facebook page he responds very quickly normally. If you have specific requirements he will look for you and give you some options.

July 24, 20187 yr Got home early today and im taking the v1sti to a local retro meet tomorrow evening, so seeing as there was a bit of cloud cover i thought it would be rude not to wash n wax the scoobs Been enjoying the refinement of the bug sti whilst running it in lately 😎 So haven't driven the v1 for a week or so but soon as i hopped back into the v1sti, i remembered why she's a keeper . Proppa drivers car and she's a bit of a animal in comparison 😊

It needs sorting please admins I've completely given up with tapatalk lately , as it was asking for too much info and buggy as fook . Which is a shame as it was a handy app for notifications and instant p.m's . I've just been logging in to s.o.c direct on my phone instead for a couple of months now

July 29, 20187 yr Meant to be at Simply Japanese today but a strange noise led me to find buggered AC pulley 🙄. Suppose some tinkering now required.

Great grip in the snow over winter, in the wet and dry I can't tell any difference from my Dunlop Sport Maxx XL's. Possibly a little softer ride, but that could be the effect of going up a size in tyres. Fills the wheel arch nicely now. 😁 Wearing pretty good too. 👍
