What have you done to your Car today?

Yep. All falls into place and just makes sense. Still smiling now was a hoot!

 

few jobs that needed doing before Combe, plus my missus was getting pissed at em being in the kitchen lol

 

Bloody he'll you've got a big kitchen, must be one of those Newport Mansions I've read about

 

Cmon you all know we have farms here lol

 

Put down some primer on inside and cage.. Can't wait to see it in full orange


also looking at this would you think I have a trackday week Sunday lol gonna have to work flat out..

 

Got bored so painted my oil cap.


Fitting my battery in the boot later today.

 

fitted 20mm spacers to the rear and also painted oil cap, windscreen washer cap and dipstick red

 

Brand new power flex engine mounts all of them, proper bargain.

 

Cleaned it!

 

Put colours on grill

 

Had a run on Engine Dynamics new dyno - 266bhp on 95ron with bonnet closed ill take that! Nice to now its all spot on

Andy is a great guy very genuine, all cosher figures which is refreshing to see

fair few RS's down there, anyone on here having work done there atm? You are in safe hands!

 

soo jealous!! did you see my albi down there? it won't be long before it's on the rollers what did you have done?

 

Probably mate there were about 10 RS's there, good setup with the workshop and rollers now.

just a standard 265 mate, just fancied a run on the rollers/have a look around the new place etc

really nice guys Andy and his dad, sure they will look after you

 

They all should do it like that.

 

Lotus me up landlord just been out in the old roofless LandRover, same sun but just a tad slower than you I bet

 

What you just said but replace LandRover with Lotus

 

Is this engine dynamics in essex?

 

Yes mate

 

Yeah a stones throw from me, pretty lucky eh

 

Finished Some painting

 

Good work, your not messing around with that cage

 

Fitted my sandwich plate performed oil change wired up oil temp gauge

 

FINALLY fitted new rear discs, pads, and refurbed the calipers.

 

I need to do this, how hard was it fitting the sandwich plate? That's the bit putting me off at the moment!

 

A good wash/wax/seal and cover on for two weeks while I'm in Florida!!

 

When I first fitted it I went at it underneath, however tbh it's much easier from the top. Take off the front bumper and the headlamps then the slam panel, access will be a doddle with the slam panel removed be sure to use ptfe tape on the bungs

 

Have a great time with the family lee:cool:

 

Finally had a chance to clean her but needed to fight off the creatures living inside my cleaning kit first! Safe to say it's been a while :rolleyes:



She looked fresh this morning though :cool:

 

love that colour combo

 

Thanks, much better than the browny yellow colour she's been sporting over the last few months!

 

Refitted windscreen, dash after painting..
tested out wether or not to put loom along cage.. Still unsure

 

It's just along that door bar I was putting it.. Through rear it follows original path.. Just trying tidy ways for it as the loom is basicly lying on floor under carpet from factory.. It be off again soon as I've ordered some loom sheathing to put over it as I redone whole rear loom.. So it may not go back that way

 

Thanks mate, just rolled up and it's pissing it down!! Typical!

 

Thinking of selling the 225 and getting an RS 265 or possibly M3 or alike!

 

Now my battery is in the boot I made an air filter enclosure.Covered in exhaust wrap and heat reflective tape to keep the heat out and hopefully some of the induction noise in.

 

Fitted my new filter.It's only a tiny bit more noisey on boost and very quiet driving gentle.
