Thanks for all the comments guys!

So with the old gal now running properly it was time to get the other bits sorted out..
Over the last week or so ive had the aero catches delivered and fitted, Not in the ideal position but i was limited because of where the old pins had been.
Front brakes and new hayward and scott exhaust turned up.
I fitted the new disc`s/pads and replaced the brake fluid earlier in the week.
So then it was bye bye horrible booming bucket..

and on with the new and oh so lovely sounding new one

And then finnaly got round to putting on the 18 inch rota`s

I think they give the old girl a far better stance? Even if it does result in a dis-lodged spine and broken teeth when driven on our wonderful roads.

Just need to give her some paint tlc and fit the new mirrors before her first track outing of the year at snetterton on june the 10th.
Then i want to get rid of the air brake on the bonnet and fit a reverse scoop, But having also just bought a new nomex racesuit as well this week i am going to wait a little while as im now feeling a little light headed from all this recent wallet bashing.

Looks good Russ, I liked the old wheels though. Those are the Prodrive replicas arent they ? Suit the car though.

Car looks ace and as said before....get rid of the stickers

Ever thought about an sti rear spoiler ?
, I'm not a massive fan of huge spoilers on saloons but the wagon ones look pretty good I think

I agree with Trev, I had to double check your thread as I thought you had removed it.

The STI one fits much nicer with the lower spoiler, am sure Ben will find one in his second home (Scooby breakers in Broome) for not much pennies !
