Could buy two of them?
Or am I a dofus for spending over £30 on two plastic buckets? I cant stop spending on detailing s**t atm, spent £300 in the...
Had a great day today!
M3 was awesome in the dry and scary in the wet, its such a rocket ship! Brakes were mega too, thumbs up for the yellow stuff pads!!
Quite a few crashes, GT3 hit the wall as did a TVR! Druids claimed about 4 other cars too! Someone even managed to bin it on the slow...
spent a good 15 hours on the paint of the golf, I started off using the PC with 3.02 on a cut pad, this corrected about 20% of the swirls after two passes, so dropped to power gloss, again not having much luck..
I came to the conclusion that the pc just does not have the power or the ability...
Gave them both a good scrub tonight! The golf is under going mayjor detailing, I've given up the PC after the bonnet so when my Kestrel turns up I'll hit the rest with that,
Also just had the Miltek - manifolds, link (down pipe), cats and resonated cat back fitted. Also...
:(

Megs cleaner wax

Is there a numptys guide?
My Guess - With questions
Pre wash with water
Spray on foam - I have the CYC Super snow foam 5ltr - how do I mix and do I add anything -gold class shampoo etc?
Leave to drip off
Spray off with water
Wash car by hand -do I need to do this?
Going to give ze golf a good detail over the next few weeks, Im going to be doing a pannel per night as work is sooooo busy at the minute!
Paint is in OK condition at the moment, the car had autoglym life shine from new, so its held up quite well! But swirls and maring are starting to appear...
well 12CR does sound "fun" the intake noise has doubled, it may be a tad too loud :/
It sounded awesome before, now it just sounds like a f**king b18 on steds lol
The fuel kill cuts in at 16 seconds, thought it had thrown a rod there for a second lol, I think ill have to bypass it as it keeps...
ASW to f**k
Wish I never bought mine, spent 11k getting it mint and it still wont f**king work. Wilwood brakes are s**t, 3/8" UNF unions are s**t, engine mounts are s**t, the clocks are s**t.
I will brake this car and sell the parts if its not moving by tuesday
:)
Had a bit of a blast in the cars today (Adams 197 and my R32) took some pictures and my bro samboRT made a little vid.

Spec is:
Full engine rebuild
I removed most of the old wiring, and ecu (renault siemens)
It now just runs an omex 600 with pre-assembled loom
Car cranks on ignition and the pump primes but will not fire up?
Injectors have got 12 volts on ignition 2 and when cranking (both sides)...
My engine is currently being timed up, they said they cant run it on stock timing as the head had to be skimmed and they decked the block to bring the clearance up..
How would they do this as the cam cover is holding the cams down and you cant get to the lobes, its on standard pulleys.
Would...
So I was supposed pick my engine up today, f**king dumb s***s at renault didn't order the rite cam stud for the exhaust pulley! Ffs! I could really do With the engine this weekend to get get things moving! The guy at the engine shop said he has a bolt that will do it, but is this no good? Or can...
I normally use 5w40 fully synth.
But since the clio will always be up high in the revs (8000 rpm) and on track..
Is it worth upping it to 5w50 fully synth? Halfords do one for £32.00 and ive never had any issues with there oils in the past.
Whats are the pro's/con's?
