I enjoyed reading that, nice work! Looks like Callums alley way for the exhaust fix?

Nice turnaround buddy, looks great :)

Thanks Dan! hows the RB treating you? It's hilarious fun, every time I'm around it I want another 5.

Nice sunny day today so I did what 99 percent of the forum probably did and washed the car. I then washed another car, my friends S13 to be exact and we went for some pics: IMG_8979 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8978 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8977 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8982...

This was me :) Love the wheels!

Just had a flick through this, ignore what I said in the PM about the engine hoist bracket, it appears you thought it through better than me haha! Nice progress :)

Wait, you're not the 182 that has appeared round Blackpool are you? It looks like a 3 sisters style picture in your avatar and there's a 182 with the same colour scheme popped up locally.

The hid's direct own xenon bulbs seem to get good reviews and they are cheap as chips, if you have a look at Dr Jekyl's project thread he mentions them within the last few pages (I can't tag him for some reason). But yes they are easily swapped if you do fancy that route, I did it the other way...

He may need a few extra filters for the face haha! Maybe I'll clean myself this year not just the car, the paparazzi awaits! :)

Thank you for the kind words! I love that photo, it's almost time for this years show so I'll see if we can better it this time :)

Thanks a lot, I quite enjoyed writing it, although I have since noticed silly little errors, whoops! Rookie mistake! Should have been 2015, must have hit 88mph on the way there.

next up I attended the Myerscough college open day with a friend of mine in his MX5, this has had a turbo conversion and is now running 303bhp and 314lbs ft of torque, I'm going to do a proper shoot with it soon but there's some better pictures further down this post. IMG_4222 by Paul Morgan...

Next we took the car glamping! Yes my girlfriend wanted to go camping but she's a pansy so we did it in a shed instead. We got there and it was wet: IMG_6615 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr We got up and it was snowy at which point I was quite pleased we went with the pansy option: IMG_8669 by...

Next up was Mega Mini meet, a yearly show that happens at Lytham hall, nice and local. Remember my earlier post about me always crashing the mini shows? Well I did it again! First we prepared his JCW coupe and the Clio ready: Untitled by Paul Morgan, on Flickr Untitled by Paul Morgan, on...

Thanks a lot! It's an incredible place, everyone there is on the same page and other than the odd muppet (which you get everywhere) you can literally stop and talk to anyone.

And finally two edits from the trip, the first is a shortened one as I realised I over did the go karting part of the full version: Sorry for the 3 different posts, I could only put a maximum of 3 per reply.

And 2 laps round the ring, again probably driving at about 5/10ths for no other reason than the place scares me, more like sight seeing laps really. 5 minutes 50 seconds into the second video I get over taken by a beige Fiat 500L, that is a warning of how slow they were haha. I wish I had...

A few videos from the trip (they are all in 720p). First of all the two sessions at Brussels kart: The GP track laps, don't expect to watch massively fast laps, I've never had any experience on a wet track that was as slippy as this before!

No problem at all, as Louis says below a lot of people have nice results with normal paint, I wasn't aware of this at the time so used the VHT stuff out of caution. It was a bit of a pain to spray, I thought I was going to mess it up! If I was to do it again now I would use normal stuff with a...

Next up a little last minute preparation, for me this meant sitting watching the others do whatever they needed to do. My friend with the abarth punto stripped all his interior out, my friend with the panda was working on mounting his go pro, the cycle mount was just slightly too large to go...

Now this one may be a long read because I love the Nurburgring, you love the Nurburgring, we all the love the Nurburgring. Right then you have probably guessed the destination for this trip so I won't type it again. My friends and I try to do a trip to the ring every year/every other year...

Right next up a few of you might have noticed the Mk1 MX5 sneaking into some of the photos, this was an accidental purchase of mine, well when I say accidental I wanted another project anyway but I went out to get some chips one dinner, saw it and ended up coming back to work with a deposit...

@a17vts It was the stuff I linked above. And some better pictures of the colour for you: A word of warning, it wasn't the best of paint for spraying with so I would suggest light coats until you see how it comes out, I went in a bit ham fisted and it took me by surprise :).

I think it was this stuff: Paint I'm pretty sure I still have the can at home so I'll double check after work for you as I'm not 100% sure it was the above stuff, It does look good but I would have liked it to be a bit more of a metallic look, I'll get a better picture for you as well :).

Looks brilliant, I'm not really a massive fan of the wheels but with that bumper it looks angry! I'll keep an eye on this for your updates :).

Brace yourselves for a mega multi quote! I'll hunt it down if that's what it takes for you to like me haha! Yes had the two 1.6's and a black 1.2 which I had when I was a lost child and it ended up with an orange front diamond and orange dash strips etc, luckily I shook that phase off...

Cheers Dan! Loads to come still and I'll try and keep on top of this thread!

Then I started my prep for the upcoming Nurburgring trip. But first I decided I would do some more pimping in the engine bay, I sprayed the inlet/fuel rail guard in anthracite. IMG_6596 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr The rear brakes were also way past it so I have replaced those, I sprayed all...

Next up Cliosport Saturday 2016. I wanted to book track time, I didn't book track time, I stood on the banking taking pictures of the people enjoying their track time, I won't make this mistake next time. My day started well, my arch liner fell out on the M62 which lead to me running half of...

Next up I thought I would have a bit of arts and crafts time and tart up the interior a bit. I decided to go with a dark anthracite with red detailing. I haven't sprayed anything in a long time but I used to do it quite often so I was hoping I could still manage to get a good finish...
