[Stoffa]

I got talked out of cheapies last time, they were trying to tell me the electrodes break down and come away form the plug, but I guess thats only if your not changing them at correct intervals.

Bolted up A/C belt adjuster and placed belt on! I have air conditioning now! ;D

Most tuners find standard ones better. I cant remember but I think with iriways the ceramic can handle more heat or something.

[Roo]

Always use copper core plugs, iridiums are great on something you don\'t want to be changing plugs on. I also opt for bkr7e\'s rather than bkr6e\'s

I used to do plugs every 6k but lately i\'ve barely been getting 2k from them before they\'re fouled

Fabricated a bracket to fit onto the top and side of the plenum, so I can mount the coil pack to it, Nearly finished it. Finished off fitting the AN coolant lines.

It is Jon eventually, STM gets the final tune just std tune now no flexi fuel. Still got two major things to do, the pedal box is going to be a bitch to sort out though going to take an age.

[Jimbob]

took it for its first drive in 2 years, made me grin from ear to ear, man have i missed booost!

[TypeR rated]

sold my car today. Almost shed a tear seeing it go but its time for someone else to care for it and all those 100 dollar bills cheered me up nicely ;D,

Now to focus on me other subie

[clintondane]

Wanted to find out why the handling has changed so much in the last week or so. Had new tyres fitted and thought that might be it but surely not? Jacked it up one wheel at a time and noticed that 3 out of 4 shocks are leaking so I\'m guessing the seals are stuffed? Also took rear spoiler off thinking it might be the source of the leak in the boot, noticed wet patch in there after heavy rain a few days ago. Can\'t see anything anywhere that\'s obvious?

On the subject of shocks, how much would it cost to either get the seals redone, or get new shocks fitted? Looking at a set of bilsteins with sti pink springs, about $300 which I think is a bargain, the cost to get them fitted will be the deciding factor?

Random I looked at your auction this morning and thought damn its been FS for a while.

Change the struts yourself ^^^ free.

[clintondane]

Mate, I have zero tools and admit to being mechanically retarded. I\'ve watched a few videos on YouTube but that\'s only confused me more.

[Guest]

If they come with springs its real easy.

You need:

A jack

Ratchet

14mm socket

19mm spanner - I think

19mm socket - I think

Wheel nut socket

Pliers

Jack up car

Remove wheel - 5 nuts using the socket that fits your wheel nuts

Remove push in clip that holds brake lines on with pliers

Remove 2 bolts from the bottom of the strut with spanner one side and socket the other

Remove 3 14mm nuts from the top of the strut

Install new strut in the opposite fashion.

The top hat will only go in the holes one way and are labelled left/right. Likewise front and rear are very different you will see the difference. Anything that doesnt work - just use a bit of brute force seems to work.

[subi4snow]

Clint if you can get your hands on any tools it is really easy. If not the guys at centre city autos through in my rear shocks for $50 (including changing springs over from the old ones)
