Some TLC....pics heavy
Ok so finally weather has cleared for a bit and that meant me treating scooby to some tlc. She got 4 brand new tyres and tracking done. Then another bottle of redex fuel system cleaner + full tank obviously :) Also i had 5L of Motul Motylgear gearbox and differential oil from Opie oils sitting in the boot so got that changed and been pretty shocked to find that it hasnt been done in 10 years!!! how can people drive like that? Also found that on diff the filler plug was rusted in so had to soak it in wd40 and broke one ratchet on it :( if i recall correctly gearbox was supposed to hold 3.5L of oil and diff about 800ml, well i got 2.5L out of gearbox and 600ml from diff . new oil made sooo much difference. its a lot smoother and quieter now. After all was done she got washed, waxed, put rear mudflaps on, cleaned engine bay and polished :) Here some pics for you

Ash - thats them mate :) how did you make them fit on rear? did you have to use any special clips or screws? they came with 4 screws for each flap but screws are too small to fit into bumper holes. Thank s mate :)

new mudflaps....but
No worries mate, you've been very helpful. thanks for puting me on right track i know (i think :) ) what to do now ;)
-
new mudflaps....but
yes mate it does but you need to bend them. and you're right they are bit hard. but you can bend them. just thought it wont look right

new mudflaps....but
what im trying to say is that in front arch its nice and flat so you just bolt them on. but on rear its not flat so you would have to bend it?
-
new mudflaps....but
i know what you mean mate but what seems strange is that you need something flat to mount that mudflaps against. i have 3 holes in bumper as well but they are in sort of vertical line. so half of the mudflap would not be bolted? anyway i will have to take rear wheels off to get proper access. but this is what it looks like

new mudflaps....but
so finally my new mudflaps arrived. so went on fitting fronts first which looks really good. but rears are bit of an worry. basically wheb i fitted fronts there is like a splash guard or whatever you call it onto which you can bolt your mudflap. but rear doesnt have it on the arch lip there are 3 holes and i suspect something was removed ? i didnt take pic of it yet, will do that tomorrow. any ideas please? here is pic of what they look like in front

cluster swap
just been digging around on web :) Connectors between 02-05 models are the same, no matter if they are gx, wrx or sti, As you say there are more wires from sti which will be left unplugged causing diff and dccd light to stay on (which im not bothered about). rev limiter light should work no probs. only Thing im after really is more modern look. same Cluster i had in my first car- Mazda 323f :(

what if...
ok fair enough, cos i heard that some engines have some clearance that if it breaks they dont meet, just engine stops.
-
