    Where we getting injectors from these days?

    Afternoon gents, Fairly certain I've got an injector down on the car as It sounds like an Impreza! Where we getting them from these days? GSF have their premium one for 100 odd quid but it's down to 40 something with the discount code. Are they decent enough? Cheers.

Please note the painted...
