There have been a few supply and demand issues, so a few alternatives have been selected.
Suspension - Sourced some KYB AGX Adjustables and will pick up on the 3rd on my way to the seats.
ARB's - Eibachs are out of stock until the end of July, so Whiteline it is. And they are in the post
Rear lateral Adjustable links - Decided against this.
Exhaust - On the floor of the bat cave ready to fit
ALK - Not bothering just yet.
New Front Track Rod End Roll Centre adjusters - Again not bothering
Rear Spoiler - CF soon.
Gauges - In the post, got a good deal on a set of Prosport Gauges from Xyberautos. Managed to get a PSi3 unit for the monitoring facility
Full poly bush kit - In the post from Thor Racing and they where cheaper than their catalogue price
Interior - Full Electric PRODRIVE Recaro interior including door cards and 60/40 split rears Pick up next 3rd July after the "Door Ding Day".
It's all coming together, and hopefully by the end of July it'll be all sorted.
Wish me luck

Over the next few months I am going to have some significant changes to do on the V5 STi. I have decided to keep it (but I have an option on something else 
) and make it better. It's now over 100k and it needs a bit of a freshen up.
Rear Spoiler - CF or OE?
Thanks in advance

Apart from a few bushes (rear diff to subframe and diff carrier outer bushes) I am pretty much ready to get it all fitted.
I managed to source some brand new P1 springs for £100, these were part of the Prodrive clearout sale in May, these will go with the KYB adjustables. Once the underside and rear bits are done it's on to the engine bushes and subframes.
Ding dong, it's non stop.

Shocks, springs, refurbed wheels going on and service on the 5th. It's starting to come together.
The bushes, sport cat at the end of August.
Anyone good at fitting Prosport gauges? I have the pod and all the bits, so just a bit of help with some spanners

Just got back from Dave Coe having had the service, shocks and springs done. It took ages and set the day back a bit.
A few things went a bit "Pete Tong". When the rear shocks came off we thought the top mounts where covered in mud, how wrong we where. The top mounts just crumbled away and there where no new ones about
. But thankfully Dave had a pair of nearly new Group N ones lurking on the back shelf.
So, first impressions on the P1 Red Eibach Springs and KYB Adjustables is. There's a world of difference with the new stuff. The Prodrive alignment settings are a definate bonus as well.
Sadly the old pink STI Struts where FOBAR'd and have been binned. Next it's all the poly bushes, Diff cross member and rear subframe.
For me, it was a good customer experience and not as expensive as I budgeted for. Cheers Dave

The flocked dash is awesome. I must admit TingTongPJ is an awesome bloke and gave me a full run down on how to fit it. He even made sure I had the right dash for my car. JDM and UK dashes vary in there shape, how they fit and where the various bits fit. The facelift dashes are much easier to fit apparently.
The only thing is I will have a cubby instead of the airbag so I need to get a resistor to fit. Anyone know which one I need and where I can get it from?
I want to get the gauges and dash fitted before Rallyday, so it looks like a whole weekend of fun before the show
So, I have a boot lid in 86F for sale now and a facelift dash soon.
