February 20, 20169 yr Fitted the rear coilovers today it now sits 15mm lower than the stock sti suspension with the damper set at 16 / 32 ( halfway between hard n soft) Took it for a "scooby clinic" test drive [emoji87] aiming for potholes and speed bumps and it took them in its stride [emoji41] Might still lower it a bit more before I get it geo'd up but I want to see how it runs with 3 passengers in first to make sure it's not gonna rub anywhere. Also had a ally forge header tank turn up today ,it's a bit manky but nothing a good polish won't sort [emoji6] If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
February 20, 20169 yr Looking good Savage, surely you must be running out of things to do to it now? What's the ride like compared to standard suspension?
February 20, 20169 yr already got the cash out,next to the kettle ready for the next buy aha:biggrin: That's not cash tom. .... they're 4 wheel alignment vouchers for when I'm happy with the ride height [emoji6] Gaulson there's always room for more scooby shiny stuff and I've still got the parallel fuel rails and sr40 turbo to fit once the weather's better [emoji39] So far I like the less body roll in the twisties and the nose doesn't lift as much when I hit full boost in a straight line If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊
February 21, 20169 yr Wash and polished and ordered two more gauges and a double A-pillar pod so will have 5 gauges to fit in total next month just waiting for the ATI triple pod holder to arrive that replaces the clock

February 21, 20169 yr after purchasing multi pack of drain keys from Halfords (using card of course) changed rear diff oil - then discovered front diff needs a star plug key
February 22, 20169 yr Starting to think it is just the !Removed! new tyres making the noise; not much if anything there this morning. Sticky brake pad has returned. Think I'll change discs and pads all round before mot in July...were due at next service in December anyway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 22, 20169 yr Discovered the waterpump on the RX has two pipes for coolant not the three on the replacement I was sent - blanking off the redundant pipe is not an option as the manifold is 'different' and it will get in the way You learn something new everyday...
February 22, 20169 yr There is always something that cause a problem, noticed it many times! I ordered some indicator bulb holders from a Forester because they look right for my headlights... now only time will tell. Also my finger slipped, bought some new mudflaps and a bumper sticker :).
February 22, 20169 yr @david1972 your not the only one to say that lol. Just saw it one day and thought it was a little different. I do like something different. Got a few more additions and fiddling to do before Im finished, then it will be ready for the season. I do need a better SOC decal though!
February 22, 20169 yr A dash of candy red carbon! Collected the hydro dipped bits today and put them back on, really pleased with the finish on them done by Hydro-Graphics in York, waiting for some red M6 engine dress up bolts to come back in to stock to finish it off.

February 22, 20169 yr @Hudson WTAF! Really? You could've bought real cf for that lol. Looks the nuts though 😆

Looks the nuts though 😆 I think just the aircon belt cover in real carbon costs about £60-70 I can't imagine what the air induction piece would cost to be moulded in real carbon as that would be a much more complicated part to fabricate in carbon. I had three bits done in total the other bit was the fuse box plus you can't buy any scooby bits in real carbon off the shelf with a red weave which I have a soft spot for It was roughly £130-150 depending what condition the parts are in when you hand them over as the air induction piece has a nasty bobbly surface on it which needed a fair bit of prep work before the dipping process!
February 22, 20169 yr I was going to try it myself, looks easy on youtube, famous last words aha Them costs i probs will aha looks good though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 22, 20169 yr Yeah suppose if it takes prep work into consideration. My carbon air intake was £135 but obviously just in normal carbon so doesn't match up and look as good as yours with the other bits.
February 22, 20169 yr I used to have a yellow weave kevlar induction box on my 306 which I really loved the look of.
