I got this steering wheel that came with an old project car that I got around 14-15 years ago. I didn't know what it was and just put it in storage all these years and I haven't bothered to do anything with it. I'm going through my old stuff now and found it. What exactly am I looking at?

I got this steering wheel as part of an old project car that I got around 14-15 years ago. It's sat in storage all these years and I haven't bothered to do anything with it. I'm going through my old stuff now and found it. What exactly am I looking at?

Feels like I'm missing a skyscraper or X wing or something but can't find it for the life of me

I'm looking at replacing the anchor that holds this cable/line from the power pole to then house. But I'm not sure whether this is a power line or a phone line. Family member of mine is convinced its a phone line but I dont believe it.

And also if I was to get the anchor fixed as it looks like it is on its way out, how would I go about it?

Im looking at replacing the powersteering hoses for my JDM ver7 bugeye sti 2001-2002 model. I found all but one part for it, part number 34611FE040, which is discontinued. I found that the 2002- blobeye model has an almost identical design, but has part number 34611FE140.

(highlighted in yellow the part i need) (green in the schematics)

Is it safe to assume that I can use the newer gen parts for my car? Thanks

Recently got a JDM subaru wrx sti version 7, and I have been trying to diagnose and investigate the typical power steering whining noise. The steering is also incredibly choppy and heavy at times.

I've been trying to replicate what they do on Youtube videos but noticed my power steering pump high pressure hose is placed completely elsewhere to what I found online. It looks like is on the left side of the pump. The videos usually showed the hose connected to the top. Does anyone have an idea on what is in my car?

I recently got a Subaru version 7 bugeye wagon that was wrapped terribly (I've still got some left to remove), so I decided to take it off. In doing so it revealed the old body and paint work. Taking off the wrap also took off some of the paint and showed some DIY paint work that I think the previous owners have done. The old paint is so old and faded that I can't even see myself in the reflection of the car (especially the boot).

The boot also feels like it has lumps and bumps when i run my hand across it (hard to see in the photos), and there are pinholes around the wheel arches. My guess is that this is all DIY work from previous owners.

What would be a reasonable pathway in getting this looking a bit better at a reasonable cost?

I was thinking either:
- having it wrapped in the original white colour (cheapest)
- Patching up the exposed paint areas and polishing up the faded paint.
- Having the whole car resprayed (but $$$$$$)

Any ideas?

Edit: if anyone has any recommendations on where to get a car wrapped or resprayed, please do let me know :)

Bit of a long one so I'll try my best to keep it short and concise.

Our family own a property that is being rented out. Last week a Property Listing agent for a neighbouring house from Barfoot came and asked one of the tenants if they could cut trees that were encroaching onto their property. Our tenant knew that the neighbours are allowed to cut trees that are encroaching and said yes. Later that day, I believe the listing agent called a bunch of arborists that came onto our property and cut down 3 or 4 fully grown Large feijoa trees and a big peach tree down to their trunks and limbs. They left all cut branches and leaves as is and didn't clean any of it up (as seen in the pictures). By this point, we weren't aware any of this happened yet.

Information about this got to our property manager and eventually to us. I told my property manager to get in touch with the listing agent that handled this tree cutting matter and we are now waiting on a response (as of Wednesday 13th May).

In our minds they:

- Trespassed onto our property (this happened more than once as they were seen on our property on more than one day)
- Irreversible damage to the trees/property
- Told us they were going to cut just the encroaching trees and did more than that

I went to the Citizen's Advice Bureau for a second opinion and they told me to get my property manager to discuss with the listing agent first and see if anything can get resolved there, otherwise go to dispute's tribunal. When we asked what we might get out of this, they told me that it would usually be compensation ($$$), but wasn't sure how much we might be entitled to.

I want to know what people think about this matter and what might we might be entitled to money wise. The trees cant be uncut and the damage is done, so the best we can do is make sure the listing agent doesn't screw up again.
