Cal670 Posted 2 June 2017 Report Posted 2 June 2017 Insured mine for another year yesterday. Managed to get nearly £100 off of my renewal price after abit of bartering over the phone.
G.Lewarne Posted 6 June 2017 Report Posted 6 June 2017 Fixed some more interior rattles - removed headlining and tightened every bolt, ziptied and padded every wire and tube etc. Also tightened the rear sunroof bar that goes across the two rails - was very loose and rattly
Akuma77 Posted 7 June 2017 Report Posted 7 June 2017 finished the rest of the car for jdm combe on saturday 1
G.Lewarne Posted 15 June 2017 Report Posted 15 June 2017 Made an interesting discovery about rear strut components
Skinman Posted 16 June 2017 Report Posted 16 June 2017 (edited) Filled her up with RON98 and scared the shit out of myself on a known road that the council had decided it would be a good idea to cover in gravel with no warning signs. Everybody came out the other side in the same shape they went in. Might need the touch up pen if the ping noise is anything to go by. The rally heritage did really shine through tho, while I needed to back the fuck off and demand a curse on backroad road workers that can't warn about loose gravel.

G.Lewarne Posted 16 June 2017 Report Posted 16 June 2017 (edited) scrubbed, primed, painted and injected cavity wax into my front subframe while its still solid and showing no signs of rust whatsoever.... Also did the same to the front crossmember / radiator support bar before the surface rust took hold into something worse Edited 16 June 2017 by G.Lewarne 2

Freeman558 Posted 19 June 2017 Report Posted 19 June 2017 Well Not today Goodies arrived Friday Carbon Fibre wrapped Console from Serratia 400g Carbon effect RAZO Gear knob from... I don't know where I even bought this from.. Wasn't Amazon or CARiD And some Metallic Black Spray to do something with my wheels. The Console didn't fit around my head unit, although dimensions were the same the way the head unit fitted into the dash meant I needed to make some modifications, by modifications I mean butchering, oops. It's not quite as pretty as it was Decided to try the spray on my old Tech5's and made an awful job of it, not sure if that's my painting skills or the paint. I would like to blame the paint but... It was a good job I tried it out on the old wheels So anyway, my Console and New Knob. Strangely enough, the heavier knob it makes changing from 2nd to 3rd easier, not sure why, perhaps I handle it differently.. Ummm... Or something But you can see my butchering in the corners around my head unit.
VVTI Posted 20 June 2017 Report Posted 20 June 2017 Decided to go with the rear wiper delete New radio from my wife (birthday present) Pain to install, as I have to many add on's like reversing camera and subs and amps and DAB and Arial boosters but got there in the end. 2
shaungt4 Posted 20 June 2017 Report Posted 20 June 2017 Just had the Air con tested for leaks and new gas put in. What a difference it has made to. Much needed in this hot weather.
al/c Posted 20 June 2017 Report Posted 20 June 2017 completely primed the car and new bodykit, also picked up a sealey tent which the car will be painted in
VVTI Posted 22 June 2017 Report Posted 22 June 2017 Stuck a carbon affect rubber bumper protector on, Love a easy mod 4
VVTI Posted 3 July 2017 Report Posted 3 July 2017 silly mod but get annoyed with cables for charging stuff in my case sat nav, so added a USB charging port in the window pillar. Its the little things that make a different's 3
Crazy Cat Lady Posted 7 July 2017 Report Posted 7 July 2017 Yesterday: Air/Con de-gas - leakage check - recharge £48.00 + VAT The guy that did it noticed a slight oil mark on one of the valve caps, so he changed both the valves [for free]. He's a good guy. Seems to be working fine now, i no longer need to strip naked and towel dry after every drive in heatwave daytime [sorry no photos]. Just hoping the Air/Con recharge will hold and the super cool cool coolness will continue for a few years to come. I find that the air con is essential other times of the year too, especially when condensation is on inside of windows - clears it off very quickly. Would hate the air con to pack up completely - one of those faff thing jobs i don't like to get into... Debs
G.Lewarne Posted 7 July 2017 Report Posted 7 July 2017 (edited) Fitted my new dashcam, routed the cable along the inside of the headliner, down behind the A-Pillar trim, in behind the dash, up to the cigarette socket area, spliced in my 12v>5v adapter box I made (using the guts of an old cigarette usb adapter) to the current cigarette socket feed. Really pleased how that turned out, you cant see a trace of the power cable anywhere. Job done! Fits in behind the rear view mirror nice, MOT man should be happy with placement up there as you cant see it at all in the drivers seat Edited 7 July 2017 by G.Lewarne
