Cheers, yeah it feels so much better compared to when it first arrived.

I think time is a bigger constraint, there are alwaya more little tweaks for noth cars and bikes...but I'd far rather be in the woods than in the garage smile

Only ever ran a coil briefly on an old 26" bike, very floaty!

Headlamp lenses swapped out. Not the most fun job, but very happy with the results. I need to ceramic coat these ones to add a bit of UV protection to keep them prestine.

How are you getting on, still enjoying? Mine is off this week...
Yeah, no issues really...brakes are a bit poney after a couple of decent stops, but I'm not chucking two grand at it to add Sti Brembos!

Still considering a remap...

What's up with yours?

Front wishbone bushes were a bit of a mess, so dropped them out and replaced all three on each side...almost got rid of all the front end noise, just a bit of chatter from the front ARB bushes to deal with now. Bushes should be here this week.

Good work. I was going to order the Whitelines one for mine until change of plans.
I did look at them, then I found the whole set for £50 a side from ICP...easier option smile

Fancy! Front install is a breeze, guessing the rear will need some brackets?
Under £600 for the lot too...

Popular upgrade in the US and Aus; calipers are direct bolt one, just need to drill the disks for 5x100 smile

My 3.6r has gone to the great part exchange lot in the sky, so I've got a set of spare HID headlights and the parts to put a standard double DIN radio in place of the factory unit (surround, cubby etc and wiring loom) if you are interested.

I put them up for sale on UKLegacy but there's been no interest - if you can make use of them you can have them nowt if you cover the postage smile I'd rather they were of use to someone than went in the bin!
Sorry your H6 has gone frown

Thank you, that is a kind offer...I must get onto UKLegacy more smile

That's a stellar deal.

Isn't there a set of sti discs you could use?
I've spoken to Ian at Godspeed brakes and we have a plan; I'll use front disks from an early sti with 5x100 PCD as the front disks are the same. The rear disk offset changed 08+, so he will drill a set of the later rear disks with a 5x100 pattern smile

Cruise control fitted...a whole £30.



Of course I had to take everything apart to access the fixings at the back of the steering wheel...cruise message now pops up on dash display smile

Cheers, was really easy to be honest...might get really brave and buy from auction myself next go around; my wife has her eye on a new Swift Sport in silver, which are only available in Japan...should be fun, probably.

Ian's stuff is always decent, so worth a go I'd say smile
