you sti ra guys, where does the roof vent go on the sti does it just vent into cabin or is there some special engine cooling trick involved there ?

They do get cold, but it's actually quite nice with the heater on - warm feet & roof open - cool head.
It would be a pain if you had long hair however!

Know what your saying there, it is good in slow moving traffic but as soon as you start acccelerating it can be a bit over powering, great in the summer tho i expect... I was gonna say poor mans Air-Con, but it was hardly a cheap car... lol

Powerstations alignment together with the Ast,s has completely transformed this type ra 8)
rooferman - Hi Mate, picked this up from another thread, but just wanted ask if you thought this good value for money....? I was thinking of taking mine down to Powerstation for this but was a bit put off by the price, I think they want about 120-140 quid, where as I could take it over to Micheldever or somewhere local for about 40 quid.... & it is 2-3 hour run to PS for me as well so there's another 50-60 quid in fuel.... :( Do you really think its worth paying the extra dosh to take it there...? Or anyone else got thoughts on this...?

Oy Gazza mate - wot you doin on 'ere?? I didn't tell you to keep the rif-raf away :D:D:D
I had my geometry set up by Powerstation - very good service, but £80 and as you say a long way for us - but less than a tank full though :D
I can give you the print out that details the settings if you want.
Cheers

Is it only £80 then Terry....? I was led to believe it was somewhere between £120-£140... New pair of rear tyres, set of drop-links & then whisk it down to PS to get it sorted I guess, hopefully might be able to keep the backend on the road then, or at least in a straight line.... I'm getting bored of drifting out of bends & around the Farlington roundabout... :lol: :mrgreen:
