Eventful Day.........
Went to fit my STI rear lights on my car today. Went to drive it out of the garage and my handbrake hand seized on
(haven't used the car since the end of december) rock the car back and fore and managed to release the drivers side, but no chance with the passenger side so had to get the wheels off and free it up.
Fit the STI rear lights
, fair play getting the old ones out was a nightmare, did a couple of little jos on the car then drove it up to my girlfriends house ready for the meet in the morning. On the way up all was going well until i turned the boost up, put my foot down in 5th and my clutch started slipping. Look like Ian's not the only one in need of a new clutch.

You can have the rear lights for £25 if you want, but i'll need the fog light wiring off them first, as i haven't got a fog light on the Jap ones.
Already got an Exedy Organic clutch to go on, just need to buy a lightened fly wheel and get them fitted.

Lights look sooo much better Dean!
From what I remember, David at API will only require 5 people as a minimum for a group buy on the Excedy.
