why don't you just bin the two layer plates, and use the reg you've already paid for? on the rear a range rover HSE sized plate should fit the aperture perfectly though I opted to remove the jdm bracket

Just realised you couldnt put my plate on yours anyway due to it needing to be older than the vehicle youre applying to! Numpty moment...

P800 WRC would look good, but the 555 plates look good on a scoob too.

I have small front and oversized rear that fits the aperture. I can measure up if required as this was a custom size.

Queensway and Ridge West do have speed limits you know.
But I'll let you off, as you were probably going to the Conquest Hospital to see bubby......

p.s you need to lose the tacky red mud flaps.

Few more bits ordered and being shipped out from ICP,
Getting there slowly...

As fitting new 'Pink' Springs thought best to order new top mounts and decided on Grp n version.


Grp N Pitch mount


Rear Genuine anti roll bar links to match my sti trailing arms, *note uses front links instead of the horse shoe shape,


Right now this is the pain in being its a aftermarket item
My rear sti silencer is starting to look aged 17yrs old to be right, and bugs me, i couldn't find a classic fitment Prodrive silencer so i had to opt to using a non standard item as didn't want a newage with the hanger being wrong,
So after much looking around i went for the Haywood and Scott original back box which was as close to oem looking as possible and not OTT on noise.


The parts are starting to stack up for winter

Hi Scott not sure how they fit as I have the pink sti trailing arm set so it's just a direct swap as mine are a unknown age not that they look old but I'm anal lol so I thought best for revamp seeing as doing some suspension changes, il bring mine around at some point and you can have a look how they fit.

they do fit Scott Picture shown on import car parts you'll want to lose the old bracket though, so replace the arms? (although, we all know you would anyway)

Engineering Head on........Looking at how they mount via the outer/hub fixing isn't there a possibility they could rotate via pressure on the ARB and soften the effect of both the drop link and the ARB.

Think the "hollowed" out design on the back locks them in place Scott...?

Yeh, I was looking at the other picture and wondering if the box section would do that.
Still a slight chance they would end up knocking due to a little flex/movement though.

Pink Sti end links

Well no pics.
Picked the car back up from the importer's and my issue is still there, Slight Whine and vibration from the tranny area, had the rear diff rebuilt as was slightly noisy with this sorted the other noise was more noticeable,
The importer where good and said it could be returned for further work but as this is to far away to keep taking back etc I've decided to use my local subaru specialist who i cant praise enough hes had a butcher and believes center diff bearings are worn, So the box is needing to be removed and rebuilt so I've given the Green light to go ahead and do full box rebuild so i know its totally good, and the importer is backing me with parts so i really starting to see a positive with it all.
Had a nice comment from the Specialist telling me how clean this car is and a lovely Example,
I should have the car back today with all my new suspension bits fitted with 4 wheel Geo and rebooked for 1st week of jan for my box,
