What have you done to your car today ???

[Mr Plums]

Bumper off (for the first time ever), new arch spray guard on and headlight washers off to get it through it's MOT!

Lol @ your avatar mate, love it!

 

[Ralphizzle]

Fresh MoT, passed with flying colours!

 

[l33th3tr33]

Took the fuel rail guard off to paint, sick of seeing the bare scabby metal.


It's going to be....... YELLOW!

 

[JBC27]

Changed the gear box oil (94000 on the clock and its was black and had some lumpy bits) i stink like a ferret now though. Also sprayed my fuel rail guard matt black though ftw

 

[Mr Plums]

Sniffed my passenger seat after dropping a female work colleague off home...

 

[MicKPM]

Wheels looking good mate!

Did you get the RS2 fitted?

 

[mozzer_morrey]

Started cleaning the bay whilst I've got the engine in pieces

 

[MicKPM]

Yes the RS2 has been on a few weeks now and its off to RS Tuning on Tuesday for a proper remap as i've just I fitted cams to it today (hence painting a few bits to whilst the oppertunity presented itself).

Loads told me to leave the 2118's in anthracite but I couldn't. I personally hate black cars with dark wheels but I am a bit old/boring now lol

 

[497adam]

Just fitted a full set of new windscreen trims. And got soaked in the process.

Time for a beer.

What they cost?

 

[Feates172]

£21 in total with delivery mate.

It's nice having no wind noise lol.

Nice work. How you finding it?

I love silver wheels, they look fresh!

 

[MicKPM]

Honestly I can't wait to get it mapped and rag it around Bedford in July. Its transformed how the car drives although the previous map was terrible especially as it was still warming up.

 

[MicKPM]

Today I put it all back together...





Happy again

 

[James23]

Gave it a wash for the first time in 6 weeks. Started raining straight away... Typical!

 

[gus20516v]

New coils on the ph1 and serviced the ph2 considered washing them both but it's just started lobbing it down

 

[l33th3tr33]

Carbon wrapped the dash inserts and the little bit below the headunit.

I don't like it.
I can't be bothered taking it off and getting all the glue off.
Bugger.

I really need to get a splitter back on the cup

 

[Ek-greeny]

I had a productive morning
finally got the splitter fitted, the grilles blacked and the fog surrounds blacked

[/URL]

I used plasticote satin, I'm undecided wether to re do them all in matte instead? They still look fairly shiny for satin!
​Thoughts please guys

 

[l33th3tr33]

What's the plastikote like to use? does it spit much?

 

[Ek-greeny]

It didn't spit at all mate, just shook it for about 3 minutes. Went on nice and didn't run etc

 

[J.B.]

I put on a new set of KYB top mounts. Praying that it cures the rattle, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Purchased four PS3s. :approve:

I might have a bash with that stuff then, do you have any other pics to get a better idea of the finish?

Why don't you like it? Looks good to me

Ill get you 1 tomorrow buddy

The worst outcome. Rattle still there, and there other side is making a groaning noise after about half a turn. f**k.

 

[The Beardo]

Collected my 197 cams in preparation of getting an rs2 set up

 

[Feates172]

Finally got round to fitting my rear disc spacers. Cleaned out the inside, cleaned and dressed the engine bay.

Next is to wash it. And sort out some stone chips.

 

[Mike-bham]

Put in a replacement hazard light switch after the old one stuck in, installed a bench and other garden stuff in the back, along with a dog.

​

 

[Christopher.]

Painted the side strips satin black like the diamond

 

[l33th3tr33]

Why don't you like it? Looks good to me

I don't know, probably because I know it's not real carbon. At least it won't be hard to get it off if need be.

Ill get you 1 tomorrow buddy

Cheers!

 

[Stefan.]

Hoovered it, and replaced the clamp which meets the cat, now no more blowing exhaust

 

[l33th3tr33]

Forgot to say, removed the bonnet heat shield and cleaned the bonnet. Looks way better.

 

[Ex-User (36231)]

Replaced front shocks and springs. Picked all the stones out of my tyres with long nosed pliers!

 

[JBC27]

Replaced the rear dampers, now for the discs later this week.

 

[The Russian.]

Fitter Coilovers, prima racing exhaust mount and black powerflex dog bone mount.

Car feels awesome now and drives has it should, powerflex will take some bedding in too.

I like

 

[Flat Eric]

Removed carbon splitter yesterday to wet and dry an re-laquer.

Needs a few more coats and can re-fit in the week

 

[Simon_16v]

Fitted a powerflex dog bone mount and relocated the wiper motor after it coming out and making a racket when the wipers were on

 

[Ryan Hughes]

I did plan on Claying and Polishing the 197 but rain kinda put the dampers on that so when the rain finally stopped i decided to clean the engine bay, Lots of leaves and sludge in the scuttle and around wipers. So took the scuttle off, popped the wipers off and any other trim that was around the area and unblocked the drain hole then clean everything up, dressed all the plastic and then put it back together.

This is what came out

Ended up like this
