a couple of jobs to do

well I thought while the sun is out I would do a couple of jobs on the car ,starting with the front brakes I needed some new pads so I thought before I fitted them I would clean and paint the callipers , but first I had to deal with a couple of stuck pistons ,

hope the sun keeps up

like the roll bar! is it easy to take off?

Thanks ,, I don't know yet but think it is an easy job yer

That arb looks spot on, is it just brushed on ?

Hi Mousey , yer just smooth hamarite does look ok

nice work, looks good.

Cheers , not sure wether to paint the Subaru logo on the calipers white or leave them red or maybe even yellow any ideas anyone

That's a fine job you've done with the anti roll bar Oggy .

Leeandjude ,
It's not too difficult to take off the anti-roll bar . It's more fiddly to replace as the last drop link bolt hole never quite seem to line up . As the car should be on axle stands it's possible to use the jack to persuade the anti-roll bar into the right position .

Thanks for that john, well its time to fit anti roll bar so off came the old one ,

your very right about the last hole John but I just left all bolts slack till all in and also I never jacked it up I was told its best to do it with the wheels on the ground ,but its a very easy job but can be bit fiddly at times on your own

my steering wheel is very worn so thought I would get a new one and in my opinion the logo on this one looks better than the one I have on now ,will be fitting it this week ,

have not had time to try it yet so will do tomorrow ,I also cleaned my boost solenoid out so see how it goes  

When I fitted mine Oggy I bent that metal surround upwards a little bit as the gear mechanism seemed to be catching it in certain gears. I don't know if it's the same for you?

I'll second that... mine did it. But I think I just turned it around so the cut out bit was in the bottom right corner instead of top left, if that makes sense

Oggy i must admit your doing a fine job on that car buddy
