Well been abit shy with updates lately but for good reason. The car needed a few very minor bits tided with me wanting the car perfect. The rear bumper has started to chip at the bottom from stones chipping it and a very minor bit on the wing had chipped so car was left to Trevor Allen and is now all sorted. Also have the polished heat shield cover to go on and been fitted with Arden blue washers. Also a new courtney sport breather hose. Next up is the alloy refurb in the new year no point on doing them now as this is no garage queen will be drove all winter and don't want any kerb incidents. lol. Few pictures later.

This car deserves a bump up after the noise I just heard out of it.

Was getting out of the car at the Spar in lambeg, when this comes belting past, sounded and looked awesome!!!

Yea they are silly money seen a few low mileage examples but there still mid 12 grand some are closer to the 14 k mark you can have a good nice example like mine if one can be found everyone I looked at was either a dog or high mileage for half that.

Yeah see I'm thinking there isn't really anything that can match the STI's performance for the price, A Burg would be lovely but may wait until I can justify spending that much lol
