[rorz_vts]

god i havent updated this for a while right lets see, got a collection of parts sat here for this now just waiting now for a nice day hopefully before i go away to get it lowered and stick on the new brakes and bushes.

few pics i took after watching harry potter the other day








some nice beading

forgot to mention in the above post i got a saxsport exhaust yesterday fitting it was a twat tho as the bolts were rounded on the standard one so i had to cut the buggers off with a wizzer, not the best job to do in a small space but got there in the end. Also fitted my powerflex exhaust bushes with it, i was going to fit my lower brace and engine mount but after the epic fight the get the bolts off i thought i'd leave it till another day (probably when i get it lowered).

also changed the rear disks and pads the other day as they were knackered


new vs old


fitted

I got a set of used 266 brakes off a 306 xsi for £16 off ebay calipers pads and disks, the calipers will be getting painted yellow before fitting

I've also fitted my upper strut brace, i did have to relocate my fuel cut off switch because it was in the way.

Good choice on the exhaust!

also as alan showed above went to the NW sax-p meet and managed to get on my chrome angels on the front and my clear jewels on the rear, think im going to tint the clear square in the middle red so it matches properly

all that turned out


front angels


rear clear jewels

to add i also think ive got a bent drivers side wish bone as the wheel doesnt seem to sit in the center like it does on the other side so im going to check it out when the car gets lowered, think ill also stick on my powerflex'd arb off the old vts

[rorz_vts]

started to give the car a clean before and check how the dodo juice sealants hoding up, first that stuff is a fantastic product and after 9weeks from applying it and 1 wash a week its still beading like crazy, well worth the money.

anyway a few pics of the clean before it started raining

before



hosed down and then snow foamed


i then hosed, washed 2bm then hosed again just in time for the rian to start which left some lovely beading again




wheels before

wolf deironiser at work


agitated and hosed off



And i snowfoamed the engine bay no pics of the before/during just 1 of washed and dried

also caliper paint blagged the guy on ebay to send me a new one as the first pot had sightly leaked

Nice mate

You using the ValetPro PH neutral snow foam? If so, how are you mixing it as I don't get that level of foaming

Also, did you just take the battery out and hose down the engine bay? I was thinking of doing this to ours as i seem to still have oil vapour under the bonnet so i'd like to get rid of it.

im using the cyc super snow foam mate with the dial turned just over half way on the foam lance, normally add a little bit of maxi sudds but ive run out

erm cover absoloutly eventhing thats got anything to do with electrics as the littlest bit of water in them and the cars dead for a good 2-3days, learnt the hard way from the first time i did it lol

lowered the back yesterday with the help of saxokid huge thanks to him for sorting it for me, i was going to lower the front today but it turned i didnt have a 18mm ring spanner fucking bastard as i took everything off, i did manage to fit all the stud coversion, my lower brace and painted the 266's yellow. Going to get the ring spanner tomoz and get the front down hopefully wednesday and the new brakes on, just in time for the NW pre-trax meet
