I'm beginning to learn that if you're doing anything on a car it involves some issue and or injury to hands. Today was no different.
So I'd ordered new plates and thought fitting them would take about 2 minutes, which I may well have done if it wasn't for:
A screw which was no longer a screw...
Took it to Silverstone for the Pistonheads Sunday Service, probably one of the dirtiest cars there with no time to clean it beforehand! Definitely want to do a few track days next year so definitely looking at brake upgrades over the winter.
Cree sidelights done! A bit difficult to get out on the drivers side but otherwise easy!
Difference between the two
Not exactly the best photos in daylight but still! Highlights the need to go over the headlights again unfortunately!
So despite all the things I currently have on my to do list, I've done something that wasn't actually on there...
I got a rstuner and the 98ron map!
Probably the easiest thing I've done so far! Actually, now I see why I did it!
So decided I needed a proper list of stuff to do, not just random...
Project slow continues:
Oil and oil filter change done today with a lot of help once again from @optical glad it was done as the oil level was on the low side and was overdue a change.
^That was about the sum of my contribution to the work, not really knowing which bits to take off otherwise...
Then the least interesting of updates, new wipers resolving the current snapped one which was temporarily held in place with some tape!
And since I'm off to Le Mans on thursday:
Thanks guys.
Springs make the ride slightly harsher but not over the top. Yes you feel potholes and drain covers a bit more before but for driving on normal roads the car handles well and feels pretty well balanced. Haven't had the chance to have much of a go in it yet and has mostly been around...
Got new Dunlop 205/45/16 rubber all round and got my dark anthracite Turinis fitted at the same time.
Then gave the windscreen a quick spray and one of my wipers (finally) snapped (had been working it's way loose for a while and the wipers had been on there a while anyway) so have ordered...
Got new dunlop rubber all round and got turinis fitted at the same time.
Then gave the windscreen a quick spray and one of my wipers (finally) snapped so have ordered some bosch aeroblades.
^^^^Yeah the renewal wasn't fun. 2k down the drain. So in the time I've owned it I've paid more in insurance than the actual cost of the car, but I don't regret it!
So finally months after I bought them cooksports are on:
Also a slight dent in the door where someone decided to open theirs into...
Got it on cooksports only 5 months after I bought them...
Also someone opened their door into mine leaving me with a nice dent in the drivers door and a bit of their blue paint which was fantastic. The perils of public car parks.
Thought I might as well update this, even though not too much has happened.
Fatty's Induction Kit is the only thing that's actually changed:
besides the door incident: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/door-damage.783460/#post-10908235
which I'm still needing to fix.
Then, as you do after...
If I found a door that's the same as the one I've got now though that should be a close match at least right?
Also does anyone know if the 172 silver/titanium is the same as the 182?
So basically I have some damage to my door after a passenger got out without looking and took out a cyclist (who fortunately is fine)
I went to get a quote today and got a rough estimate of around £500 but he'd get back to me for a more exact figure when he sat down with the photos! This...
I'll have a go when I get time at some point possibly! It took me about an hour to do this as it was (I'm sure you guys did it in like 5 mins or something but anyway!)
Thanks for the help!
Yep, me again.
So I've removed the airbox, however there's a tube on the other side of the airbox going down below the headlight thats connected to something. What is it?! Also how to remove this?! Sorry for being useless again haha
