What have you done to your Car today?

Which cam have you gone for? And how did you connect to the cig socket?

 

At the moment I have it connected to the cig Jack but when I don't need it I hide it behind the diagnostics cover. It's called MiVue 508. I will in time probably wire it to the fuse box or somewhere similar and hang the camera behind the mirror. But thats when I get time.

 

sprayed some door handles and side bullets black and fitted them, well pleased with the results

 

Finished my final preperations for Time Attack on Sunday!

 

Fitted new rear discs and pads. Ballache compared to the fronts! Also new boot loom and some fully sealed lighting units not the pap reneult OEM offerings that leak and go rusty :-/

 

It's certainly a bold colour choice, but it does suit it.

 

harsh, but funny, looks nice Jamie.

 

Was the loom easy to change Chris? And cost? £40 ish?

 

Yeah that looks good

 

Looks good Jamie. Like the Porsche colour combo

 

Martin, you could paint your wheels red and make it look like an R26r. Oh, wait a minute.....

 

Yes second time I've had to do it.... Was 35 at trade cost.

 

gone for the stealth look Rob, red wheels are so last year :cool:

 

Will it look like this Rob

 

Drove it to work

 

No mate. More like this one

 

Had 4 ps3's fitted, bought a machine polisher to try before fcs and got a new sticker for the front bumper for when she gets her front bumper sprayed on Monday! And then there was no money!

 

Thats a lot of playstations!

 

Haha I could of got a few for less than some round pieces of rubber!

 

Colouring my wheel nuts. Anyone know the torque rating for putting them back on.

 

140 nm

 

It's 140Nm. There should be a sticker on the inside edge of the drivers door which has the torque rating on it.

They look great, how did you do it? I'm not digging the rust look on mine

 

Thanks. I have got the manual out just thought you guys might be the easier option mine were a little rusty so I wire wool cleaned them then sprayed with some matt black hard paint. I doubt they will last forever but long enough for me to buy some decent ones!

 

No doubt! The cost of keeping you glued to the tarmac!

 

A deep clean in prep for a bit of polishing, noticed it has some horrible road rash on the sill behind the front wheels though

 

Yep, nothing like each other rob

 

Painted my mirror caps gloss black.

 

Looks a good job that. I'm awful with rattle cans :-/

 

Haha. They look good mate.

 

I set myself up a little spray tent on the garden made out of old sheets Tbh you don't need a perfect finish with the paint as you can just wet sand it down with 1200 paper, you need to do that before the lacquer anyway and I found the lacquer the easiest part to do.

I had a spare that I just tried to get the best finish I could with just paint, but the lacquer gives a miles better finish.

 

Fitted retrimmed steering wheel

 

Start doing front discs, pads and paint the calipers.
think a cowboy job was done before. No screws in the discs. pins came out really easy.
sanded down and put 1st coat on passengers side.
start on the drivers side only to find one half of that caliper as seized. Looks like last owner knew this and put in some new pads just before selling it as bar one pad the other 3 are almost new

 

I've just done my rears. New discs and pads and painted the calipers. Fitting new rubber and sliders to them and changing the brake fluid for ate before doing the fronts in the week.

 

Renault had my pants down but got some new door bullets as the other ones where looking abit tired and starting to flake.

 

Re fitted my front bumper properly after fitting my FMIC (using self tapers) lol
