I'm quite impressed with how she looks, and she drives amazing too.... and thanks dude. Wish I could take her back to the US with me. I'm having so much fun right now.

So a few of you guys know, I had to change an injector and I just want to say I appreciate the help and advice from you all (Nitin,nafe, ratty). Lankysods breaker contributed a nice unsticky one and the "Subaru sound" is gone...

And there was a seized caliper which just did not want to be freed, so the ATR calipers and carriers were fitted, which I bought a few years back. In the end I went with honda original ATR discs and pads (£172 all in)... I only had a few days to get them sourced and fitted before flying back to NYC.

I literally got an hours pleasure with her.. the new brake setup feels much better.. braided hoses next year and some new rear pads too..

Got a couple of pics..while I can still upload them

Yeah I was a bit confused when the injectors I first bought turned out to be atr ones... that's why I turned to you guys for additional info.. they are Mugen sides... I do like the wings west ones too.... I may bring the full WW kit back with me when I return next year... and if anybody else wants it too... as my stuff will be shipped in containers so there should be loads of room... :idea:

I wish you hadn't said that :facepalm: :lol:

I did think they looked like Mugen ones, but I didn't think the Mugen ones were that deep. Thought they might have been Wings West, but looked different at that angle.
