Trade secret Maca No mate it's pretty easy. Once you have washed/cleaned the engine bay you spray Areospace 303 Protectant (awesome stuff) all over it, shut the bonnet, walk away and just leave it like that overnight. Next morning it looks like that. It's so weirdf because when you first spray it all over the bay it looks as though somebody has jizzed all over it and I used to freak out thinking it was going to stay like that. You can wipe it off with a microfibre after you first apply it and it still leaves a beautiful matt finish. But I liked the glossy finish this time. - atwrx wrote:

Alan they aren't bent as in restricting airflow as I strightened them all out with toothpicks, it looks much worse than it actually is due to the angle of the picture and it was bright when I took it. |

| Ahh right fair enough cause I knew it was nice and straight not long ago mate. Was wondering where you'd been as mine had less bent fins after 100,000 miles | |

| Well since the car has over 430 horses and with this 500 mile mini-Gumball rally from Gateshead to Glencoe & back in a couple of weeks I thought it best to upgrade the brakes as the standard Subaru 4 pots might as well be milk bottle tops So I have bought a set of front AP Racing CP5200 calipers with 330mm AP Discs, new Ferodo DS2500 pads and braided stainless brake lines. I have also replaced the rear OEM discs with a set of good quality DBA4000 series 290mm grooved discs with OMP fast road pads. That should get me stopped pretty sharpish and keep me safe and well! Will post some pics up when they are fitted. |

i'm in a lot of shit after what happend with the one i was going to sell you I am going to have to wait until the summer mate for a 6 speed - there aren't too many about at the minute and the ones that are out there are way overpriced. |

Will post some pics up when they are fitted. Sounds good mate but did you not fancy going 6 pot? Or would they not fit under your revo's? Id have been tempted to go D2's or K-Sport 6 pots if wheels permitted me to do so | |

Yes mate - they had been scallopped too much and were bashing around inside the calipers so I went with the ones I know and trust as I had them on the Terminator |

Yes I know Alan - but the bluestuff pads are the best of the bad bunch and they came new & free so I had to at least try them before laying out for a new set |

| haha fair enough mate, hope you enjoy your AP's anyway, when you having them fitted? I have a set on their way to me now, 6 pots which should, god willing, fit under OEM wheels. If not I'll cry. | |
