Looking good there Gngbng! Sounds like all that effort paid off!

And your son is a lucky bugger! I’d be getting him a little manual shitbox to learn manual in - and to learn to appreciate before getting behind the wheel of my pride and joy!

I guess he’s up for waxing duty before and after each drive

PM sent too

Cheers

Thanks Bennie,

He has been practicing in the back paddock with my old 93' Liberty GX Rallye paddock basher.

Regarding PM, sorry all the left overs were binned 6 months ago as they were rubbish. (except for the pipe to the airbox which I'm keeping)

The young bloke has also got his L's and wants to learn manual.

So the idling issue has been fixed.

I never worked out exactly what it was, so I did this.

I bought a second hand engine harness off my mate, he pulled it off his Bug STI when it had just over 100k on the clock.

I also placed an order via Amayama for all the OEM hoses and gaskets associated with the inlet manifold. This all arrived around May 2023 with a couple of other things.

I also ordered an AVO one piece inlet hose, and a Coto Sports bypass valve.

So the plan to remove the inlet manifold, and replace all the bits and pieces and give it a thorough clean up was underway.
