Washed it for the first time since I bought it in November. Checked fluid levels and sorted out loose items in the spare wheel tool kit. Tomorrow rolling road and hopefully putting the cage and seats in on Sunday.
Washed my car Thursday for the first time in three months....it then rained. Took it for a drive and fuelled it and then had the tracking sorted yesterday at work as the steering has been off since all the front suspension has been swapped. It now sits dead center and feels alot better.
Had new PE2s fitted, washed out the front wheel arches, fitted new coolant bottle, taxed it and have it booked in for a full wheel alignment on monday.
I decided to remove my under bonnet sound deadening carpet, i also polished my aircon pipes, treated the rubbers and hoses and gave the engine bay a general clean.
I then sprayed the manifold and fuel rail bmw sparkling graphite and the engine cover arden blue as my local parts shop didnt have arctic blue in stock.
The paint was only £3.99 and ive got plenty of primer and laquer so i can always do the engine cover again as this was the easiest bit, although i quite like it as it is tbh.
I also sanded and polished the renaultsport back up on the manifold, i am just awaiting my 20L 16v sticker to go on the engine cover.
Also on 51583 miles:
Rear Brake pads fitted
Front windscreen wipers fitted
Engine oil changed
Oil filter changed
Pollen filter changed
and I'm cleaning the air filter now. I'll also hopefully change the plugs when I get my plug socket back. It's only done 4816 miles since last serviced on 10/12/11.
