What have you done to your car today ???

[StuOwen86]

Took the rear seat and carpet out and fixed the exhaust as it was hanging off, the back box wasn't sat in the hangar so just a 5 minute unbolt and slide back in and bolt back up. The rear bench came in handy for lying on lol. And last took the battery out and put it on a recharge in the house, sadly I did this first then had the alarm going off for ages while I stripped the rear out lol (glad I keep it at my dads and annoy the fcuk outta his neighbours) and I had to do it by climbing into through the seats as I couldn't open the boot 😧 lol

 

[Ethan1996]

Built it a bigger drive. Will get pics soon. Astras in the garage so have a corsa, pretty nice car tbh.

New rear discs and new spacers as one crumbled in my hands few month back . Fitted a injector cover . New car mats think thats it . Seems to to be running sweeter than ever now .

You cut the boot??

Do you hear that Daniel? Thats the sound of a car that's being destroyed so it never sells ever again! a clio too

 

[trenace188]

Was only the spare wheel well . Just welded a plate in its place nd tetrosealed it . I doubt it will ever be for sale will probly be broke into parts . Have no intention of selling .

 

[KitsonRis]

Had to change a bulb in the pitch black this morning. Very tricky to do it one handed and hold a torch in the other!

 

[levaz]

Ran over my spare front bumper backing into the garage.
It was battered and in need of love, now it just needs the bin.

 

[Andy665]

Did some more work on my engine bay, lacquered the painted engine cover, some polishing of the inlets and painted the plenum - should be looking presentable by the weekend

 

[levaz]

 

[marinemackay2003]

sorted out a base map for my Omex 600

 

[GrahamS]

fixed the anti roll bar bracket. Convinced myself it felt like a new car

 

[Ethan1996]

FINALLY WON AGAINST VAUXHALL! My new gearbox that has crunched since they put it in has finally been diagnosed after a week of them saying they couldn't fault it and replacing other bits like the linkage etc. I hear back on Monday about whether a new gearbox has been approved under parts warranty, but apparently it is very likely to be! They also fixed the glove box that Tesco black box installations team (read imbecieles) broke when removing my black box from the car. No charge for that which is a bonus!

 

[Shellcase]

Replaced the rear wiper and arm exactly one day after the stormiest week of the year and just before the sunniest week of the winter *facepalm*

 

[StuOwen86]

got half way through taking the front seats out so I can test fit my rear cage, abandoned that idea when it started raining/hailstone/snowing lol

Nice dry unit if you need mate

 

[StuOwen86]

Thanks mate might take you up on the offer if I get stuck. Just trying to offer the cage in to mark out where it fits. Either that or clean the powder coat of the hub face on the speed lines I've just had powder coated. Think the cage will be easier lol

 

[KitsonRis]

Questioned why I wash it...it was cleaned and waxed yesterday and only to drive today and now its filty ffs.

 

[Adam93]

cleaned it, and realised the carpet needs a bloody good steam cleaning.... that's a job for another day.

 

[172_Tom]

Replaced the gearbox oil, fitted LED sidelights and took it for a drive.

Also helped a mate replace the gearbox oil and spark plugs on his 172.

Replaced the CTS sensor and topped up the PAS fluid on my other car too.

Productive day!

 

[Luke0103]

So today I have started to strip the front of the car as the engine is coming out for rebuild and piston rings, head being ported along with inlets and exhaust and wile its out a water pump belts and depasher and maybe an oil pump painting the grill as well

 

[Mr Plums]

Cleaned it..

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Fitted refurbed (and straightened) OZ F1s (Lepsons, satin black) with new Pirelli Snow Control 3s to the Trophy; ordered centre caps from ebay. Cleaned up the Turinis / PS3s and stacked them in the shed.

Lepsons in Gillingham?

I might be using them to refurbish my alloys this week. They good?
Heard good things about them.

 

[r1chardh]

Yep, they seem to have a very good reputation, and the wheels came out great, but definitely at the top end of pricing. I'm sure they'll have a few they have just finished lying around.

 

[Ethan1996]

Got my Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited bulbs for the headlights!

 

[sfacey]

Far from perfect but much better than before, I think it needs a bit more of a polish but drill ran out of battery so waiting for it to charge now, then will tackle the other side!

 

[JPJ89]

Changed the climate control resistor pack over after mine failed leaving the blowers stuck on full blast, a lot of fun that was re-fitting the screw on the right hand side of the pack :weary:

 

[JackD]

Finished! 3M kit worked well, I skipped the 500 grit stage and kept it wet and had no problems. Second headlight took 30 mins as I knew what I was doing.

 

[Mr Plums]

Loads better that mate.

 

[Luke0103]

well today on my car have stripped off the head to have a look at the bores cant see any damage so gonna regrind the valves and do some head work will get there with this slowly

 

[stb182]

tow it to garage 😧

 

[Casper Smith]

Fitted new ktec exhaust, loud version & yes it's loud! Also finally fitted new front top mounts, had a good day.

 

[Mr Plums]

Been out for a steady drive, f**king love it!..

 

[dann2707]

I took a pic of the interior, i'm really happy with the interior now - the gearstick is bloody lovely and i'll hold my hand up and say I wasn't convinced looking at others before but i'm so glad i've done it. Coupled with the stiffshit 3.0 it feels lush.
