It just seems like I'm throwing money at the car lately.
I've got the belts, insurance, tyres and something else I'm sure due soon.
Tyres are going on on Tuesday. I've chosen continental premiumcontact 6s. They're meant to combine the premium and sport tyre ranges, so fingers crossed they're as good as the reviews say.
I left for csf at Blyton on Thursday at dinner time. At 10am, my car was on the ramps in the garage opposite work with the rear wheels, calipers, pads and handbrake cables on the floor. Joy.
I asked the garage to strip, grease and refit my rear calipers, because they started binding a couple of days before I was due to leave.
They came back and said the calipers were fubar'd and I needed new ones. Joy.
So a lot of money later, I had mismatched calipers. To add insult to injury, the garage didn't bleed them properly so me,
@MartinL1993 and
@Gus bled my brakes with
@Alistair14 s jack and stand (thank you all) by the track the night before csf while
@.Joe fucked around in my cars brain.
So now I have another job to do on the car, colour coding these 😧
Apart from that, the car was flawless again at Blyton, I finally managed to get it to not push wide, feeling like a proper rally driver by keeping the throttle open and keeping the nose under control with the brake. All while getting passed by faster drivers lol
Aaand I Drove home from work the other day and found a massive crack down my windscreen, so had a new one fitted today. It'd be rude not to get new wipers to go with it.
Bloody cars
