No not from Jess with the frying pan.

Courtesy of Scott Lowe. Keeping things subtle & stealthy still. I hope.



Pouting



I performed some delicate suspension surgery before tackling the lip.

Surgeons tools



Old & New



Grubby



Bufty



Then I ran out of time cos my tea was ready so the rear links will be going on tomorrow.

Yes Mark.In the flesh & bufty blue.

Zak wanted me to get them on now to get my first impressions before he starts sending the GB ones out.

And all I can say is -

Front is much more "pointy" & feels less woolly & squirmy.(Excuse technical terms)

You can see how thick the Noltec ones are to the OE Subaru ones plus they have firmer bushes.

Cheers fella.

I have done quite a bit just lately because of the 3 year itch.In the past I have changed car round about now.But the old Stealth Wagon is just about how I want it so instead of chucking a load of money at another car & starting all over again,I chucked a little at this one.

Betts made & fitted my grills mate.Have a word with Paul (Cornelius) if you can't get hold of him.

Mark,

The wagon looking better then ever, the nice subtle lip gives it a lower look.

re suspension mods: have you got to get your geometry set up again now?

there's a few people who want mesh grilles, and Betts don't seem to be interested even though he's made jigs to produce them I'll get on his case to make some, if not, I'll muscle in and make them instead
