- Oil change with gulf 5-40w
- OE Oil filter change
- ITG panel filter cleaned

Basically the numpy who changed the track rod end and set the tracking in the past had set it up wrong and it was way out, which resulted in the death of my front tyres hence the change. The car now seems to turn in sharper which is great.

I have also purchased a house so progress with the Cup is going to be very slow. TBH it doesnt really need anything now (a few odds and sods) and is just about a MINT example of a 172 CUP which was my aim from the off.

It may stay as it is (and being maintained to a high standard) for some time now with work needing to be done to the house etc and also the possibility of me and my bro buying ourselves a 106 GTI/VTS to turn into an all out track prep'ed project car in the future (i still miss my vts dearly lol) which we have talked about doing for some time together.

Anyhow pics of it to follow soon once its been fully machine polished, Thanks for looking guys
Nice one on the house purchase mate!
Although you can't go fast or pop exhaust flames in a house
