What have you done to your car today ???

[The Beardo]

Removed broken xenon and replaced with cup/base lights for time being. Fitted them with led sides,night breaker plus dipped and main bulbs and silvervision indicators. Also fitted clear side repeaters, silvervisions in the rear and new number plate light holder with a led.

 

[1958steveflying]

Yesterday fitted bored out throttle body from Spead and today fitted a new Lambda sensor. Seems sweet now.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Managed to get the engine and gearbox out today, at last, so now winter rebuild can commence.

Pictures? And what led bulb did you get? I want one haha

 

[Harpham]

An ostrich sized bird decided to dump about a week's worth of s**t on the car yesterday, so I've had to give it a quick jet wash and SnowFoam today. Haven't really got the time to do a proper wash, so it's still covered in dirt, tar spots etc, but nevertheless, still looks good. Protection seems to be holding up well too.

 

[darren1wright]

Fitted the wiper cover

Fitted my seat and luckily the resistor I was given worked too, so no lights on.

Next its door cards off and fit my harness.

 

[Lal B3N]

Possibly melted a piston or something as bad...

 

[darren1wright]

Oh not good. Sorry to hear that.

 

[FLOBALOB]

Fitted my home made induction kit and put on my new black polybush rear suspension bushes, and refitted rear strut brace...on my car. Also helped mate fix brake vacuum hose, relocate battery to rear wheel well, fit new ITG air filter, new black polybush rear suspension bushes and rear beam bushes, then bleed the brakes ..on his car. Both 172 cups, busy couple of days.

 

[Filters]

Gave it a quick wash, now it's raining. F*CKS SAKE!!! :banghead:

 

[MicKPM]

Looked at it sat there in the corner of the workshop and wished i could take it out for a Christmas blast (but diff broken) - so bought some AD08R's instead

 

[Lal B3N]

Oh not good. Sorry to hear that.

Got a spare engine cheap luckily so going to forge the broken one.

Took the earth lead off, cleaned the connections and put it back on again. Bloody french electrics!

Yesterday I gave it a quick wash, put the winter tyres and F1s on, and put it on an overnight trickle charge (hasn't ran in >2 weeks).

Drove my 172 for the 1st time today, after buying it with a snapped timing belt and then finding the bottom end was gone aswell, rebuilt the bottom end, 16 new valves in jobs a good un. Done 120 mile today not going above 3000rpm. 380 more miles to do.

Fancy writing a guide for that one mate?

 

[imprezaworks]

+1, allways end up putting it upside down, sooo frustrating

 

[CrippsCorner]

Last time I put one on the outside of my car and I couldn't smell it at all! Waste of money.

 

[oFreestyler]

I hung it over the end of my exhaust once but it didnt make my exhaust fumes smell like roses and pretty things! Thats a waste eh!

 

[Mr Plums]

Good move! Do the same with mine most of the time.

 

[Advikaz]

I nearly always do mate, as they nearly always stick & mines garaged for most the time.

 

[JP83]

Swore at it whilst I drove it to work - I've got to unblock the drain tubes under the scuttle panel again. I can hear water washing about when I take a corner.

 

[Advikaz]

Also did my head light bulbs the other day.

One of those things that once you've done it, it's not so bad.

Bit of an arse ache though as my hands are like spades.

 

[George Welsh]

Just looking at it and waiting Fred to open tmr.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Gearbox gone to Agency.
