Hi mate, what BOV are you running?

Its a Blitz, bolted straight onto the factory mounts..

Nice one mate Looks like it was in really good condition upon arrival!

It was pretty good, a couple of small scuff marks on the front and rear bumpers and a lot of swirl marks from being machine buffed, but a good going over with a clay bar and polish got rid of the swirls

Thanks, I have a couple more gauges to have fitted into a pod (oil presure/temp and fuel air mix) just have not had the time to get done yet. I have a load of blue silicon hoses that i have to put on aswell, just need the time.

Next plan is to have the rear windows tinted, some slotted brake discs, boost controller either the Blitz sbc i or Apexi avc-r. And the list goes on, its never finished..

The shine is thanks to our friends from Meguiars and a lot of sweat from me.

I'm refurbishing the original wheels at the moment, apart from a few marks they are in pretty good shape. When i have them sanded and cleaned there is a place near to me that will powder coat them for a decent price. Just have to make up my mind what colour to have them done in.

New wheels are fine, +45 offset and no scrubing thankfully. Finding the style i wanted was a bitch because there is not a huge Subaru market over here, mostly rice Honda and stuff like that

Visited a new performance parts supplier yesterday, the place is in the middle of nowhere but its like performance parts heaven and he is about a third cheaper than any of the other suppliers i have been to. He told me that pretty much any part i want for my B4 he can source in Japan and have shipped in within a week. I gave him a list of what i am interested in and am waiting for him to e-mail me prices. These are some sample prices i got from him already. Cusco Zero coilovers. 850 euro's Tein coilovers 600 euro's Exedy clutch 380 euro's Bltz dual solenoid boost controller 290 euro's Blitz Nur spec r exhaust 550 euro's Kakimoto N1 exhausts 550 euro's Compared to other parts suppliers over here this is a hell of a lot cheaper
