Just put my new engine and upper gearbox mounts on, I'm shocked at how much difference it makes to the feel of the car. The old mounts had torn rubber so guess they were screwed

Phoned Fred at BTM about what to do.....WHAT TO DO????? And decided not to do what he was going to do
Not got that engine in there yet?
I fitted a steering wheel that is smaller than my head, and i love having a silly small wheel again. It actually 3" smaller than standard diameter.

wtf is wrong with you lol? It wasn't even 8 and you were working on the car lol!
Fitted genuine new rear discs/pads to my Clio 182 as Falkland Performance told me the discs were in some state and one was warped and causing the knocking.
First proper attempt at anything like this, took 2 hours, had to purchase a torque wrench and 30mm socket so cost £28 all in. (Cheapo wrench haha).
Old discs:
New ones + pads all on:
The knocking has stopped! So far... also the washers were on the old discs so thank god for that.

Inferno 225 cup
Yeah, I'll get it sorted. Sacked it off for today now though LOL.
Plan to clean it tomorrow, ready for its trip to Diamond Motors on Monday.
Borrowing my dads oil extractor pump.
no mess!
Bring your polishing gear on Monday Harpham
Just bought my third rear wiper blade in just over two years. Realised the bosch one I bought about six months ago wasn't working well and on inspection it was badly split in two places. I haven't been buying cheap eBay stuff. Trico, Bosch and now I thought I'd try Valeo. Not exactly massive expense, but I thought Bosch would last a bit longer.

My Bosch one hasn't lasted that long either, think it only went on in November and it's got a split in it. I was looking at trying the Valeo one next.
Today, I finished claying and waxing the car and tomorrow going to have a go at adjusting my Whiteline ARB
Front bumper off to replace mish-mash collection of bolts/fixings for proper ones, including drilling out sheared bolt from splash guard. New centre exhaust mount fitted, and fiddled at the rear to try and get it a bit higher, still too low! . Finally washed it, hopefully clay and polish etc. tomorrow

Painted the engine cover gloss black, ordered the replacement stickers off of Ady on here and got some 182 alloys yesterday, in need of a refurb and also painting them Gloss Black
Fitted a ridiculous zetec s splitter for a laugh.
Must be the shape of the rear window, none of mine have particularly wiped well and all split relatively quickly.

Headlight Restoration...
I had a second attempt at fitting my H&R springs after the first attempt was cut short due to a lack of tools to get the shock strut nut off. Managed to get the springs off only to find that Larkspeed sent me springs for a Megane! Nothing like waisting 4 hours, just to do it all again in a few days
I picked it up from the paint shop, and bought it a yozza for being good.
Had full four wheel alignment and car now handles as it should. Dropped some stuff off to have it flocked. New locking wheel nuts arrived as well. Hope the weather holds for Saturday as need to do a few jobs and give it a good clean.
New tyre and tracking done. Feels way better.
Fiesta ST3
Fitted my standard shocks with some eibach sportlines, new top mounts, new steering rack bushes and a new dog bone mount.
Feels like a new car, so much better
