All set for the s**t weather.

Following on from this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=462128

Thats the car in winter mode now.
Its been washed and paintwork and wheels polished and sealed and topped of with Colinittes 50/50 and the insides been cleaned out too.

Had a full 60k service including coolant and brake fluid a few months ago too.

All i have left to do is remove the carbon fibre diamond and fog surrounds and replace with standard ones as they'll get stone chipped to hell as my fogs have light chips on them already (reason there covered)

I aint to worried about splitter as they are easier to replace and get a hold of.

Towing eye is also off to save it for the nicer days and stop it getting wrecked in the salt etc.

I'm unsure on the Ff wheels after having the Turinis on.
But is better than having wrecked Speedlines by summer.

I think the 5 spokes look good Dicky.

I'm tempted to put my old 5 spokes back on my bus for the winter months.. but not sure if they'll fit over the 4 pots :S

 

[Alexander]

Very nice.

 

[Gally]

Fair enough there is a bit of salt about in the winter but your turinis would never be wrecked aslong as they are sealed ect... and you don't hit kerbs obviously.

Looks tidy.

I'm still unconvinced on the 5 spokes after having the Turinis on.

You should get them on for winter and save your Turinis.
An i'd have thought they'd fit on over the 4 pots, unless the thick spokes will clash with them

Very nice.

:approve:

Very true, but i think i'll keep them in the loft till the weather gets better.
Although i think the 5 spokes look s**t

It may be getting refitted as the old surround is being painted as we speak.

All i can see is a shiny reflection on it.

I dunno.
I'm not convinced the 5 spokes look better than the Turinis.
The Turinis are hibernating in my loft until the better weather comes back along

Nah

[JCC]

V.Nice, wish the weather would hold off long enough for me to do mine!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

[Reyes]

Thas naeece.

 

[DrR]

The samco looks all twisted? Or have i just got s**t eyes?

 

[D1CKY]

V.Nice, wish the weather would hold off long enough for me to do mine!

Tell me about it, its heavy rain here and some roads are floded as the drains couldn't cope.
I had a nice day and decided "f**k it, i'll blitz the car" and get it ready for winter.

Thas naeece.

It must be picture as heres another pic.

The wiring loom thats cable tie'd out the way on front of the throttle body was from my oil pressure and temperature gauges.
The gauge fittings started leaking from the copper washer that goes between the oil fitting and the engine block to provide a seal where i tee'd into the standard oil pressure switch port.

So i removed them and cable tie'd the wires up out of the way till i get new coppers washers and can be arsed and get the weather to refit the sensors/fittings.

What cover ?

I'm lost :S

 

[Lee-182]

The blue Terminal cover on the battery

 

[D1CKY]

The blue Terminal cover on the battery

I got ya now.

It came with the new battery i bought and thought i'd put it back on after fitting battery as it looks better than the battery post showing.

So if you need one, find someone with a new battery thats willing to let it go or pinch one from the batterys in halfrauds

Lol
