A few updates on the car, the clutch started slipping, so that's been replaced with an r26.r clutch, single mass flywheel conversion and slave cylinder, all supplied by Mark black, and fitted at my local garage, grand total of £960.

It's just had a full service at ade tuning, who have informed me the passenger side cv boot needs replacing and it could do with a couple of tie rods, so that's the next job after Xmas.
They also commented on out of the meganes they've driven mine felt the best. ( nice to hear )
The current brakes where absolutely horrendous! So they have just been replaced with brembo hc discs and carbotech xp8 pads, along with mr pink brake pins, ate typ200 dot 4 brake fluid ( superblue ). So it now stops as well as it goes, also got my short shifter fitted, wow, what a great mod that is, All fitted by ade tuning.
I was about to order some toyo snowprox tyres as I had these on my clio cup the last 3 years and they were superb in all conditions, no problems in the snow at all, then I found some contiwintercontact ts830 in 225/40/18 on eBay, the seller had used them for 2 months last year on his imprezza, he's now swapped cars, so got these for £250, he paid £600, there one of the best winter tyres about. Got these fitted on Saturday.

Future plans are:
New number plates, there to small, the back one at least.
Get the above jobs done, tie rods and cv boot.
Clean it.
Maybe bc coilovers when funds allow, apart from that the cars absolutely spot on imo, 300bhp is more than enough in most occasions, so I'm not going to take it any further unless it goes bang, brakes are superb, and the suspensions suits the roads well.
