The worst thing about the Impreza from the day i bought it was the terrible condition of the original wheels. So i finally decided to bite the bullet and have them refurbished. Many thanks to Keith and Dave at PPS Powder Coating in Inverurie who i think you'll agree did a fantastic job on them.

Odd job number two was to freshen up my brake callipers. I decided to play it tasteful with a black/white combination this time. They're just awaiting some finishing touches with the white touch up pen to keep them looking good for another year.

I did a bit of wheeler-dealing this month too. I got a bargain brand new STi top mount intercooler on eBay which i robbed for its cast y-piece (for another project) and then sold on to cover my costs. I also seem to be collecting inlet manifolds!
