Jay762 Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 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 1
HawkSTI Posted July 29, 2017 Posted July 29, 2017 Today was mostly spent getting the car ready for TOTB at elvington tomorrow 😎
Seminole81 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Found a power steering pump 😬 £35 shipped. Can't complain at that. Just waiting game for postman now...ughhhhhh...🤦🏻♂️
GeoffLeggy Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 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.
HawkSTI Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Drove it too elvington and parked it on a club stand at ten of the best 😎 1

JamesJDMwagon Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 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. 1

Mole Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 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. 1
HawkSTI Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 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 💦☔️
Sirspidey Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Had timing belt, tensioners and pulleys changed today. Many thanks to the guys at triton motor services. Great job done. 1
savage bulldogs Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 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] 3
savage bulldogs Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 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] 1

Seminole81 Posted August 6, 2017 Posted August 6, 2017 Arghhhhh, went to put the exhaust on and couldn't find the stupid gasket set...

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] 2
JamesJDMwagon Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Been finishing off my gauges even made them that naff 80-90s green to match the rest of the car 😂 2
Pixyflash Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 Today, I taxed her... £520... But she's worth it. 😁
