Igot hold of a 197 steering and also had a custom set of dials madeup. i bought a spare headlining and a couple of metres of alcantaraand ended up with this

Ihad fitted new genuine wishbones, inner tie rods and front dampers.While I had that done I bought another set of eibach sportlines. Ialso got a ph1 gearknob and a yanoo stiff shift and had the knobpainted in the cup antracite

decided i wanted I strut brace and because ive got the compbrake top mounts i was unsure if the pure motorsport one would have the same bolt pattern as the compbrake top mounts. So I made a template and got my dad to cut them out and weld them.

Looks good :) like the fresh engine bay.

Did your comp brake kit came with those rubber washers? Mine didn't but rest of the kit looks the same.
I called them and asked if they should have any rubbers and he said they don't come with any and don't require any either.... So proceed with fitting mine. :confused:
No knocking or vibrations etc with it though so I guess their ok without?

Really Really nice mate I love what you have done with it.
The oem+ theme really sits well with me. I have to get my finger out and start doing some things to mine.
If you dont mind me asking where did you get your clocks done I LOVE THEM.
also I really like it with the pro race wheels

Looks good mate, what's exhaust sound like as I'm not that impressed with my milltek which is why im getting decat on next week, also u had any lights come on dash?

I'm booked in for remap but if lights don't come on I may not bother....... 300 quid for about 10 hp? A lot of money for that

what u done with pro race 1.2, I had them on my impreza.
Why remove tints looked good on mate
