Do you know what year the seats are supposed to be? Early GD rails were apparently interchangable with late model GC8 rails, which sit lower.

Really? That would be awesome!

Sam, you havent replaced the ABS lights and handbrake lights with LEDs have you?

Nope, haven't touched the lights. I will inspect them ASAP.

Apparently 02-05 wrx ones.

They sit up to high. Haha. Moreso the passenger side. Other than that, they're fine

I am also looking at hiring a steam cleaner this weekend to do the carpets/seats etc. Has anyone ever done this or something similar?
Also, the guys who have used claybars on their vehicles, what product did you use and where did you get it from?

Matt and I hired a steam cleaner a few weeks ago to do both of our cars, worked great! You'd be surprised how much human slime comes out of everything.
I did a claybar on my car the other week for the first time and would recommend it to anyone, paint came up fantastic. I used the Mothers pack as it comes with 2 claybars. I'll definitely be doing it more often now!

Also, got an STI white faced dash cluster off dja. All good except the airbag light wont turn off. Would anybody have a solution to this?

Acccording to Subaru this can occur when the circuits on the dash cluster are fried or in my case was just a loose connection on one of the cluster connectors.

As my old boss used to say, there should be an occupation for Wire Jigglers.

Got it from Bunnings originally, but it was faulty so had to get it from Woolworths

Yeah it pays to be patient sometimes lol

Rug doctor from bunnings or woolworths....find the rug doctor site and itll tell you your local stores....you rent the machine with the upholstery hand piece, and buy anti foam solution and carpet shampoo and upholstery shampoo which you buy when you get the machine

Ok, got around to cleaning the car starting with the interior last night after work, and finishing today at lunchtime with the exterior.
Hiring the rug doctor was the best cleaning choice I've ever made, followed by the claybar..

Here are some pics!

New kenwood cd player, and also Sti dash cluster.




Wrx bucket seats (with Sti logos of course)


Mono block and subwoofer, made it look as neat as possible..


Varex exhaust.



New Subaru badges and sticker.. Jdm yo


Did the whole claybar things, meguires.. Worked a treat.


My favourite photo:




Black!










So next up is the genuine legacy floor mats from Dylan if he ever gets back to me. Someone pm me his number!!!
And also, a set of gt liberty front brakes, which I will be getting mark (cruisin) to paint and put some logos on for me.

[SAV84C]

Looking good!

Good luck with Dylan he's too busy hanging out with his goat!

PersonallyI would have done the centre caps in black for a cleaner look
