Right, heres the updates... That I forgot to do over the many weeks/months
I drove from the east to the west to pick up new coilovers and fitted them in currys carpark - Then gave them test =)
After that I needed some new shoes... So I bought these!
I was miss sold them and turned out the center bore was too small by 2mm so I bought spacers as a temporary fix, spacers mean longer bolts and longer bolts means studs and nuts ;P
After that my track look continued... - As a personal joke and a functional point for the track, a tow strap... I really do need this with my luck!
The day before I got my exhaust made up I needed to make a insert in the bumper...
Can't really see it but looks like this =)
Nice little 3" rolled in
For better fitment on wheels I called in Arch Enemy, nice guys!
This is how the car sits at the front =P
With the F4R I needed more function, so sturdying up the rear!
Then I bought these little beautys... Compomotive Mo6... Don't suit my car as my car is too black... But lovely wheels and will do as road wheels!
How the rear sits
Due to an upset friend in Manchester I put the clio and myself to the test again... Haverhill to Manchester and back without a Satnav in 14 hours before work!... Journey was POO! I went to go to my car to set off and I find some b*****d had pierced my passenger wheel! So 2 new tyres on the front and I'm off... First I missed the M1 so couldn't get on the M6 so went on various roads to sheffield, through the city center, through the national park district and into the city center of Manchester when all I wanted to do was to get into pars wood! Up there for 4 hours of being a top lad the journey back started, 5 minutes after leaving I went to get petrol as I used up most of it getting lost earlier on in the day, went to BP and filled up with the usual super unleaded £50's worth to see me home... Card declined at 1:30am in the morning... brilliant, turns out my previous insurance company automatically renewed my insurance at midnight and took out £1,700! which left me with £30 in the account! After a scavenge though the car for change I needed £3.74... So I sold my body... Literally sold my body... I kid you not, the Asian man in the petrol station gave me £1 per word for every word I got right on my own Arabic tattoo... Unfortunately I don't have the Arabic bible tattooed onto me or I would be a millionaire. Problem solved! Home time! Finally!!! (by the way only going home again for work in the morning at this point its about 6 hours till work) - I set off, get on the m6, non toll, down the M1... I'm a king.... But noooo, forgot to turn off onto the M11 and boom I'm in wellington near santa pod... So ventured though the back roads guessing towns I reconised and then back home for 5:30am. But the story continues... For now photo of the peak district.
Now... after a hours sleep it's time to wake up and go to work, I'm up for once! Little bit early if anything and its a miricle... Hop in the car and start when something sounds and feels funny... Its the engine... Lol no its not... Its the tyre, again, in the 2 hours I was in Haverhill my valve had been cut with some sort of blade
I called up work and told them I am not coming in for the pathetic 4 hour shift that costs me a hours pay in petrol to get there when my tyre has been vandalized twice in 2 days and a day of driving!..
I didn't fix it that day, I sulked and spent the rest of the day in bed wishing I stayed in Manchester! The day after I got a new valve fitted and things were good again, fitted a new exhaust to a friends Zafira, fitted my new wind deflectors and dash inserts and happy happy happy... Even agreed to take a friend to work in the morning down in Harlow on my day off...
In the morning - Jamie (said passenger) says, 'Jake, whats that noise' - I reply dunno but I am getting some wheel wobble now... Dropped him off at work, carefully inspected the car and assumed tracking was fucked but risked the drive home carefully... Going down the m11 I see something fly off my car and down the road... I pull over to investigate this!!!
Some mothertrucker has undone the studs in my wheel! But on the passenger side and none of the others... So setting up CCTV... Although I have already Identified the car, just need to find the owner.
