Ah I'm with you now :D Never had the rigid type of flaps always had the rally type.

The rally flaps came with a metal bracket. If I remember rightly they fixed to a piece of the body work at the back inside corner of the wheel well. Your flaps look quite rigid, if you offer them up does the inside corner of the flap meet the body work anywhere? Have a look at this page. http://www.oakos.com/product_docs/RA-MF1.pdf There's is a pic near the bottom showing the fixing point for the inner rear wheel arch.

I had some rally mud flaps and the were fixed to the car through the 3 holes in the rear bumper. Seems logical that you would use the fixing points as well.

I used red pre mixed antifreeze , not sure on the amount you need though. Also forgot to mention when refilling the system make sure the cabin heater is on and set to max heat.

As far as I know there shouldn't be a rad cap. The filling is all done via the header tank. Sounds like it's got either a small pin hole leak or an air lock somewhere. Get it upto temp and check the rad for any leaks and the hoses for any leaks. These tend to only show when the system is upto pressure. If no leaks the drain the system and refill it same as if you replace the rad. My top tip is to refill the system is remove the top hose from the rad and fill the system up through the top hose. Also take the cap of the header tank. (It's easy to create air locks filling via the header tank) When you have filled the water upto the top of the top hose, start the car and wait for the thermostat to open (water will disappear from the top hose and should be now be pumped out the top of the rad). With engine running reconnect the top hose and top the system up via the header tank. Only fill the car with the recommended amount of coolant the header tank doesn't need to be full of water as it's really just an expansion tank and only fills up when the system in upto temp and under pressure. This should clear the airlock. Bear in mind when the thermostat opens the water will be hot! Having just mentioned the thermostat this could also be at fault, I had one that wasn't opening fully and was causing overheating issues. You can tell if the thermostat isn't working as the water will be not pumped around the engine and coming out the outlet at the top of the rad.

Yeah that's a mate down the road from me. I've got a black version of the same hatchback STI.

I live 5 mins from the home of odd shapped balls.

Hi welcome along I'm from west london aswell. Nice car :) No clubs meet in our area but Surrey Scoobies meet every 2nd sunday of the month at the Fairmile just down the road from Sandown race course.

sorry thats all I had. hopefully some tech guru can shed some light.

I've started to do a search for the film title before I post it just to make sure :D

Sounds like it might be over boosting or over fueling. When you replaced the pipes did you replace them with same size pipes and refitted the restrictors?

Welcome to the club :)

Congrats, you always seem to get better service with the independents over the franchises. Yay for the small guys. Enjoy the car :D

Welcome to the club. There are regional sections for the forums, nothing posted in Wales though :( There are quite a few national meets aswell during the year with shows like Jap Fest ect.

thats been posted before... Point Break.

Yep you got it gnash.

Not mission impossible.

nope

Shame they don't do HUD's for cars. If it's good enough to fly a plane at high speed low level surely it would work for cars. The only aftermarket one's I've seen was just speed or satnavs. Having the guagues on the windscreen would be so much better.

Castaway.

Yeah it's duel.

If you want something to display det then look at a knock link. http://www.linkecu.com/products/TuningTools/knocklink_g4 I had one of their original Knock links in my classic, and removed the LEDs and mounted them in the dash itself with the box hidden away. You might still be able to get these 2nd hand on eBay.

Only prob with allowing dirty laps is that you can cut quite a lot of the track. I'd I have no hope of setting any kind of decent time on that track. I could use a lemans and you could be in a transit and still beat me
