[Cillian13]

What a Project! I've been at home sick in bed the last few days and I read all 75 pages:P .I love your car. I'll have to borrow that idea for the rear fog light/reverse bulb as I'm just after getting rid of my fogs. Keep up the good work

Poundland FTMFW!!!

Turns out its 4 microfibre clothes! And also picked up two hand mop's...





They also do 2lt bottles of screenwash, so I picked up 8 litre's.

I use similar.

I use similar.

I've had my JML clothes for years, and can't be arsed to keep cleaning them. Cheaper to just buy new ones lol.

New wheels, while I decide what colour if any to spray the Watanabe's. I still need to refurb these rear's satin black. The blue rim is cool, but doesn't suit my car.
The fronts have Yokohama Parada Spec2's, and the rear's I bought some Toyo T1-R's yesterday. I've not had Parada's before, but they are very good! Only tested in the dry though.


I'm not sure on the offset, I'll have to check, as I don't think they are the same.




I also got my new head-unit today, as my old one is showing signs of age after 6 years of use, 5 cars, and 2 crashes.






And while out today on my usual daily missions I noticed the Speedboat smoking more than usual.

Them wheels = JDM

Im due a headunit change too, my Alpine is a really top spec one but again been through about 5 cars and many crashes. Id like just a new face for it.

very JDM y0!

Yeh thats what I initially wanted to do, but not sure if they are interchangeable...? I'm still looking for one though, as I think that would solve my problems I have with my Alpine 9812-RR.

The new one (101-RM) is what I wanted though, as it has USB. I have an 8gb stick I can use, so won't need to burn anymore CD's or carry them in the car. USB FTW!

Also your mates wont rob your CD's because you wont have any, and you can rob theirs

That's what I meant mate, when they ask they insist and it's hard to refuse.

USB is so much better than cds man.

Car is looking sweet as usual bud

[EE9 CVC]

Cars looking good


I don't think I'll need to replace my head unit anytime soon, as it rarely gets used. I hardly ever turn it on.

I get smoke in low RPM, blue smoke, have done for about a year, but it's got a lot worse. Worn piston rings.

I'm due to change the oil tomorrow. I used to use Magnatec 10-40, but will be changing the oil tomorrow for Mobil S 10-40. I've been instructed to stay with 10-40 lol
