Hi Shaun. How are you mate?

[S23]

Not bad buddy thanks, been a while! How's about you? I'm trying to save for a Civic now as I need a hot hatch buy money is soooo tight ATM There's a Iceburg 172 locally for cheap though that I'm really tempted by .

Deck it! Looks so good one the white 2118's though has to be said, white on silver looks perfect.

EK9?

The white wheels look good for about 5 mins, then are filthy! :dapprove:

 

[S23]

If they were cheaper I'd love to work my way up the VTEC scale, but sadly not. I'm going to have to stick it out with an EP3 . Should be cool though, definately buzzing for it!

It's cause you drive it too hard man, thats why :rasp:. Ghetto clean (with added brake dust) is always a good look though. lol

 

[mr_n]

Wheres the updates mo'fo!

Good stuff. Drop me a text when you get one mate, and we can meet up.

The car is pretty clean 95% of the time now.

Wheres the updates mo'fo!

No updates matey, I've only been buying detaling/ cleaning stuff of late.

Hopefully spend a bit more money on the old girl come the new year.

Get yourself some wolfs chemicals de-ironiser. works wonders on wheels with caked on brake dust, not quite sure how aggressive the pads are you're using but it works wonders either way

The Clio is running DS3000 pads, so the brake dust does stick on well!

I've not tried that yet Chris. ATM I am using bilberry and Iron X.

Just spent a few days reading this thread, cracking work! What do you think has been the best upgrade so far? I'll have a guess at the braking setup?

Cheers Matt.

Unsure what by best upgrade is fella. I do however love my current brake set, Corbeau seat and H&R coilovers, so any of those 3 really.



***********************

New windscreen fitted today 3rd one in 36K FFS! the original screen lasted 100K.

I got a load more cleaning products the other day, so hopefully give the old girl a bit of TLC.

 

[TimR26]

It does need TLC, poor thing

I'd say stripping it out has made the biggest difference

I've added a bit more weight Tim

I refitted the plastic around the gearbox, so I have my 12 volt socket back.
