WRX STI Hatch - Project Dotty
Thats it NASCAR setup has been corrected looking forward to being able to turn both ways with equal stability 😁
-
WRX STI Hatch - Project Daphne
Yup - not seen the like of it on my other hatches and the amount of dirt I hosed out from the sills front and rear leads me to believe this has been sat under water for some time, it managed to get in places you wouldnt expect it to? But hey ho it will get sorted next year 😊

WRX STI Hatch - Project Dotty
Not a huge amount of progress... See project Daphne but parts arrived from Sweden so coilovers reassembled. Boots cut to correct length before assembly should avoid the rubbing against springs and tearing Ready to back on the motor....With correctly matched springs and front dust boots in place

WRX STI Hatch - Project Daphne
Basic once over completed. PIAA wipers fitted Uprated high beam fitted LED sidelights fitted Cosworth Panel fitted Pollen filter changed Dynamat lined the boot floor replacing the Subaru sound deadening panel that had lifted due to the oil leakage Earth cables had disintegrated so made up some new ones with some amp cable Engine oil and filter changed - Intention is to repeat every 5k from when 85k is reached in 3k time Front Diff Gearbox and Rear Diff oil replaced with Motul 300 Started to adjust the ride height and hear a crunch as the jack met with the rear lifting point..... I dont think the £200 on underseal was preventative maintenance, the amount of mud in places I have not seen on my other hatches leads me to think it has been caught in a flood at some point I will get the sills and arches repaired next year (Once Silver hatch is available) but in the mean time, wire brush followed by zinc primer then black hammerite paint to restrict the spread somewhat and get through the winter Cossie Panel Earth cables old and replacement Rust Primed Painted Moved the fog lights from Dotty to Daphne as being a daily more likely to get used and means I can put some brake cooler ducts in place and added a Zunnsport grill to hide the fact a little that the fog light plastics had been chopped along with a large portion of the front bumper to aid airflow to the FMIC on Dotty, plus a new numberplate - representing the S.O.C now. Winge time - This is the second Hatch this has been done to - How hard is it to drill x2 holes in the right place instead of x2 in the wrong place which then start rusting! x2 holes rusting under the paint - Oh and a reversing camera I installed - forgot about that, also replaced a defective interior mic for the hands free kit Wirebrushed, Kurusted, red oxided & 3M taped to help seal Number plate mounted with x2 holes aligned to the manufacturers pre drilled and tapped items - Its not rocket science and doesnt rust Managed a headlight polish / de-glaze detail and partial paint correction - !Removed! rain showers and years of car washes meant I could not get as far as I wanted - New ride height, standard on rear, 10mm drop up front. Also removed the Perrin wing risers for two reasons: 1. I kept hitting my head on the hatch which does not open fully with them fitted, no I am too old and stupid to learn so at the point it actually put me on my knees decision was made 2. At a certain speed the wind noise created is ridiculously loud Boot dynamat lined Old and new lamps The 20Twenty led indicators whilst canbus friendly flashed too fast so will be replacing with some alternates when they are back in stock. Have also replaced the rear fog and reverse lamp with the same 20Twenty lamps (white) with no issues. High beam is the MTEC product proven before to remind the chelsea tractor drivers they have high beam on

newbie with scooby
Wotcha and welcome - dont see many in green 👍

Engine detail clean
My own approach is to cover the alternator and battery with a supermarket shopping bag the only reason being water and wigglies dont mix and these both have a perm 12v live connection - other than that I leave exposed for cleaning

Valuation for Insurance
When doing my insurance they just asked for the value, I gave a number no problem. It might be that if it is part way through the policy they suspect you may be looking to increase the value then make a claim. I would wait until policy renewal then set the value with a new provider as you want

Clutch pedal sticking to floor and sticky
As above sounds like release bearing

Are these the first signs of the dreaded rear arch rust?
I would try a mild compound just to see but agree with Tidgy looks like a scuff
