I bet she feels much better to drive now ey. Good to see you got the issues sorted out. Haha, I laughed when I saw (greenfoams request) I got the same request from Foamie when I got my GTS.

 

[wrx884]

Yer she feels heaps better now mayb a lil slow than wat i expected off the line but im sure wen i finish the rest of the service, that and Greanfoams request it should b fine :thumbsup:

Been a lil busy over the weekend i got new tail lights as the left 1 b4 leaked water in the boot so i decided 2 tint the lights and the garnish and put the strips back on came up better than i thought wasnt sure the light would shine through well enough but it does.

Also fixed the left rear electric window the reglator motor was stuffed but it was a b**** 2 replace, had 2 bolt instead of riverting these, the new brakets mounts didnt line up with the old holes so i managed 2 just swap the motors over n used the old runners and mounts and it worked a treat :thumbsup: now just waitin 4 the right rear regulator 2 arrive so i can do the same.
