Should be running better then it was.

K&N, or a Green panel filter will do the job, I've always put Green in when I've replaced panel filters, just a personal choice

Prickle^p · 14th June 2013, 14:08

Just to say she is running perfect!

and onwards. Got my new panel filter today from Kamracing. It had mixed reviews like everything i suppose.. one being the oil on it.

Gandi699 · 14th June 2013, 14:25

whats wrong with the oil on it?

Prickle^p · 14th June 2013, 14:27

Said it can upset MAP sensors and the like..

Not that it's phased me, it's on the car and works fine.. i'm happy with it.

Prickle^p · 1st July 2013, 18:53

MOT on saturday!

can it do another year with just getting 1 adiversery (loud exhaust) we shall soon see!

Prickle^p · 14th July 2013, 01:15

That didnt happen.. but it passed anyway!

Jobs before FCS; New droplinks and change starter motor, good clean throughout and test out Jetseal 109 when it comes!

Next month is the month i want to try and get all the paint work sorted pending how busy i am. Alloys refurbed Silver and the cambelt to be done too! (kinda Trax prep)

.. and that's it i think unless something pops up i fancy.

Latest pic of it in our Ghetto drive.

87k.

harry289 · 14th July 2013, 10:26

looks ''slammed'' (hate that word) at the back. whats going wrong in the last pic? lol

Prickle^p · 14th July 2013, 10:30

The yard isnt level lol. I'll take some better pics today

wullvfr · 14th July 2013, 12:31

Was thinking it looked lower than before.....

Car looks clean as dude,job well done.

Prickle^p · 17th July 2013, 20:34

Cheers dude. Right it turns out it wasnt my droplinks (going to say they wernt cheap!) it was the metal ring on the strut what screws the damper secure in the strut. I couldnt believe how much play that wheel had. So no more knock! Anyway i plan to change the wishbone rear bushs and centre ones with Vibra and powerflex next month and thats the car 100% with uprated bushes.

Bodyshop Monday for quotes then find the time i can chuck it in.

Bought some new stuff for the car and that will go on for FCS next weekend! will check the car over for swirls and attack them with a DA

*in before the axel stands. We all know one bad ass. im one of them.

i do have 4 im just too lazy to get them out the shed in the front garden.

Main jobs tommorow are the engine bay, interior and exterior but today i tackled the 4 arches and repainted the struts. waxed the arches too. yes i did. should be ready for FCS.

Front engine side isnt perfect. Needs moar cleaning but a daily pulling miles in quick ish it aint bad looking..

Edges have abit of flakey ness so that will be sorted next week.

Prickle^p · 26th July 2013, 18:56

Right im 19 miles from FCS

nice quiet hotel. Not too dirty it got washed at 20 past 8 this morning. Few flies etc

See you guys tommorow..

Prickle^p · 31st July 2013, 21:19

Just to update.

Bodyshop on the 14th to get the dent, scrape and another mark sorted for Trax.

Ordering the wishbone bushes this week aswell.

Bedford126 · 1st August 2013, 00:15

You need some fucking axel stands. One day that jack is going to blow a seal and you are going to loose your legs or worse.

Prickle^p · 1st August 2013, 00:20

I have 4 Silverline axel stands dude.

In the shed in the garden which i dont have the keys to. pmsl.

Dont be mean! doesnt suit you!

Use them, Seen far too many jacks fail and think thank fuck I used them.

Also its about time with the dents it must be at least 3-4 months since you sent me pics lol.

Prickle^p · 1st August 2013, 00:25

yeah i know ha ha! Just lazyness on my behalf but i cant put up with them anymore. Looking at them daily wont remove so it needs do be done! its a shame aswell because when i bought it, it was dent less, scratchless etc. Shit happens.
