Inferno 182 Cup
Fitted new rear brake pads, completely unplanned as I wasn't expecting the grinding noise to appear yesterday.
New discs etc next month and a new calliper to go with it as I can't see it lasting long. Good job I had my old piston wind in tool!
Old pads vs new...
The other side still looked like new

Great tip @bearne1, thanks! Cringed a bit when I had to spend £6.50 on a syringe 😅, nearly opted for the £4.50 turkey baster option, but thought better of it :smile:.
So power steering fluid changed today, and cabin filter too - old one was a bit mucky :up:.

Assembled more of the engine tonight for the boost build. Really happy with it.
Tomorrow I'm going to paint the box and do some wiring work.

Fitted the Monaco with four new fuel injectors and both oxygen sensors today. It's running so damn sweet!

Battery moved to boot. Fitted bonnet pins, as bonnet catch/cable was suspect, cable frayed. New thermostat, as other one failed open. Made a cargo net, with yellow stitching to match car colour. ( No rude comments please!!.)Cost around £7, and made to measure.

Cleaned it. Again
Replaced the glovebox/boot light with some LED's to match the rest of the cars lighting and got it up fairly high on axle stands ready for tomorrows replacement of handbrake cables/ fitting of cat.
Plenty of penetrating oil was applied over everything in preparation, so hopefully i dont have too many issues!

Ooh nice, been looking are these recently
Got round to fitting the Battery cover/Induction kit enclosed box. Not quite ideal angles with the SM inlet and setup I currently have, but it's in!

Hacked up more of my passenger headlight to make a cold air feed. Just need some black sillicone stuff to hold the cone thing in place. Then sort out the side light bulbs. Bit of help fom my step dad and now know what I need to get - stop a tail bulb holder, an LED flasher unit and an LED side and indicator bulb in one. Got it all saved in my ebay just need to click buy.
I love this car. Wish I was in a position to buy it. Credit to you. Looks stunning. Love the exhaust.

Only fitted injectors and they are going strong, so shh haha, and i'd put money on it being one of the best maintained!
Doubt ill sell it for ages yet mate, 4years in so far!
No didn't have plugs done, I don't know what needs to be removed to get the abs pump out though. It's a hefty lump so something had to give way.

It will have air in the system still buy the sounds of it if it's had a pump on

Lost sanity due to polystyrene squeaking beneath steering wheel cover.
Removed cover.
Cut fingers on the razor blade style brackets beneath the steering wheel cover.
Used a screwdriver to stab the s**t out of polystyrene that was rubbing on said bracket.
Replaced steering wheel cover.
Test drove.
Squeak.
Repeat.

Looks amazing !!Got round to fitting the Battery cover/Induction kit enclosed box. Not quite ideal angles with the SM inlet and setup I currently have, but it's in!
Can you remember what angle silicone hose you are using between the filter and the SM.
If there is another group buy then get a cover without the hole - you can then use a holesaw to get the hole exactly where you want it.
EDIT - also check this link out. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/rocker-cover-bolt-leaking.793604/#post-11124967
looks like your vvt O ring could do with replacing.

Lots of fixes today. Bonnet latch, alarm, washer jets.
Tried to fit a new under tray too but cant get the old screws out of the subframe

Unfortunately I can't remember exactly, however I believe it's a 45 degree hose. I can get a protractor out if you'd like!
That's a good idea... I was thinking of getting a similar bit of rubber to the slam panel to create a more air tight seal between the hose and hole. See how that worked first.Thanks for the link! I thought it was the head bolt! Seal ordered and will get that fitted. Thanks
Today I have changed the spark plugs and put 2 new hand brake cables on, and by 'I' I mean @HMS Derv Destroyer, while I held the torch.
