Wotcha and welcome - feel free to share some photos, I am no classics expert but read in this months Jap performance mag about classics kits being done by ABW http://www.abwmotorsport.co.uk/ they might be able to help

Wotcha and welcome Tim - we did have this in a discussion thread but I cant remember the outcome also we had a bit of a hiccup with the hosting and lost quite a few threads ill have a look and see if it is still there. Feel free to post some photos - before and after attempting the puddle would be good ;)

Hi Bazza - the link requires a members login to view - any chance you could host them on something like photobucket or feel free to upload them to our gallery

Wotcha and welcome - thanks for the feedback, we are fortunate that we have a great set of members on here

Are you sure they have been removed and are not the old ones as you have some other weights there in the last picture?

luvvly jubbly

all they need is a socket then a spanner other wise you can wind the ratchet all the way out to the engine bay and get it trapped, with mine I cracked it with the socket gave it a couple of turns and wound the rest out with my fingers. The shaking could be balance of a wheel being out - check and see if you have lost a weight... but the leaning to the left is not - it sounds to me like you have something loose in the drive train

yup just reinforces that I dont think a wide enough piece of research was completed

:D :D :D is that light blue touch paper and stand well back or what :D :D :D ? nice one Tom ;)

Nice on buddy - sounds like you have your mojo back - looking forward to the pics :)

Glad you came out of it ok - could have been worse

Sounds good Cusco, are we going to get some before and after shots?

The one thing I would say when it comes to wrapping, all the discussions that have been had revolve around the conclusion of buy cheap buy twice - you will pay less initially but the quality of the vinyl will be lower and runs a high probability of looking shabby very quickly. If price is a concern is there no chance you could address the paint job with polishes or are the imperfections right down to the metal - you could spend £400 get yourself completely kitted out with a DA polisher, mops and compound - clay bars etc if you do a great job you could possibly offer to do the same to your mates cars for a fee and re-coup some money. Why dont you take a trip down to these chaps and have a chat - nice run in the sticks - check out their ebay stuff they have a full range but would probably be able to advise on treatments / approaches to your existing body work http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120924962839 Claire & David Laschke PerfectlyCleaned, Unit 14 Highgrove Farm Ind Est, Seaford Pinvin, Pershore Worcestershire WR10 2LF 01905 841534

They do offer a digital version

Crisp white looks great - its the shade of gold that I think can ruin it - for me it has to be a JPS gold against a Ducati orange gold - I thik the final photo has the best gold colour for me but it may be the light helping but any of the above I would love to own - have to lose the roof scoop though :)

Congratulations buddy thanks for stepping up - I can see the success of the meets will definitely continue in your part of the world!!

You could also do tints as an alternative?

its a conglomerate of what is out there on the web - I have all the info they stated from different suppliers as bookmarks on my mac, all the photos are from the feature car of the chap who works for Cosworth 's mule Subaru. It would be interesting to actually speak to the author and see who his sources were

Cover car is a classic beast from RA Developments got a peach of a sequential box in it

very nice Pete - will give lovely with that slick 6 speed close ratio box

Cusco will have work cut out with the original :D

funny :lol:

It is amazing how quickly it is coming together - big boys lego ;)

Just read a piece in the March issue of Japanese Performance car magazine which has details a buying and modification guide for the 2008 - 2011 WRX STI - ill pull the main points together in another thread - in the meantime though there was one thing they stated that rang a couple of bells '...there seems to be issues with the standard ECU maps, including the PPP upgrade versions...' This conflicts with information I received from Subaru themselves regarding the dealer supplied PPP models and as such was stated by me in a previous thread discussing this subject. I dont know where JP mag gets its info but given this I will, from now on, be recommending a remap by the likes of JGM and Andy Forrest etc - not necessarily to get more power but to sort the fuelling parameters at higher revs which result in engine failure.

Thanks Matt right so the H4's I went for are this make from this company - they are 100w rated though so very bright http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MTEC-H4-12v-100w-SUPER-WHITE-HID-CLASS-HALOGEN-BULBS-/400380977844?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d3890e2b4&clk_rvr_id=590755047752&afsrc=1 these are lower wattage but great quality http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sylvania-9003-HB2-H4-SU-SilverStar-Ultra-Halogen-Headlight-Bulb-Low-High-Beam-/161216020962?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25893941e2 previous discussion on the topic http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/4803-advice-on-bulbs/
