I want to start cleaning the car properly I'm startling to build up a collection, iron x and some decent tar remover and polish application pads will be ordered pay day I think.
Don't know if I could be bothered to machine polish though haha.

Won't be getting a dslr any time soon, want a go pro first haha

I priced up a go pro and nearly shat. Same price you could pick up a dslr. I dont think ill ever buy one, no need for it, i'll use the other half as my go pro

They are cool though.

I have some cleaning gear but next month it shall be all built up as i have no worn parts to replace the the French Gold digger *the joys*

I just want one so I can video some of the drives across the Brecon Beacons, black mountains, where they do a lot of he testing for top gear

.

I've got a few things I need to pay off and the car needs a few bits before I wanna spend on one yet though, hate minimum wage

Needs oil and filters changed, Cambelt needs doing ideally, new discs and pads on rear, not much really.
It's on 118k so I wanna do the oil and filters more regular than needed now just so it stays as heathy as it is, ATM it doesn't use any fluids!

Not sure i want to keep spending on a saxo tbh, I love the car but I think being 19 I should be moving onto something faster, not sure yet though.

After a go pro ill be getting 266mm brakes and 23mm m/c, omp Corsica wheel and redoing my alloys either white or anthracite.

Well thats for you to decide if your car is worth putting more money into it. Ofcourse you will get the usual telling you "its not worth it" but ironically they doing the same in their old car, no matter what make.

Once my paints mint on mine i wont be doing much else, not because its not worth it just, how far can you go??

266s are win.

If I didn't feel that I want more power I wouldn't hesitate to put more money in this tbh, I love it but I fancy a 106 gti, a civic ek4, ep3 an a glanza lol.

Pretty sure I could save and buy an ek4 and insure it next year :/. The 106 I'm not sure i want and ep3 and glanza will be hard to insure.

But next week ill fancy another car lol

DC5

the DC2's have dropped down alright and its taking a while. Still decent ones @ 6k. Glanzas, 2-3k for a good one.. I found a EK9 for 3kish but it looked a tad ropey.

I would feel bad for changing too much on an ek9 though lol dc2 could be realistic for me ina few years I suppose.

josh11490 · 22nd April 2013, 19:46

Should I smoke my headlights or leave these ones as they are?

Ive done 2 standard saxo sets a pair of saxo angels which were the unsmoked type and a set on my m8s civic... Ive not had it happen before.

I also eliminated the factor of heat put on cold glass by keeping the light in the house at room temp over night but it still cracked under minimal amount of pressure as u can see lol...

The broken off glass was were it cracked after removal on the last light.

Ill buy a new pair now soon as i want the angles off the car. Or i would swap them for a standard smoked set lol
