what have you done to your car today ?

[Kingscote]

let the saving commence

Oh yes

 

[Mattyboy1]

Fitted new top mount bearings to get rid of the annoying little twanging spring like noise I was getting when pulling away slowly and turning. Now sorted
Also adjusted my front coilovers as the passenger side was sitting 10mm higher than the drivers side.

Having new wishbones fitted, then the tracking done, then getting the 4 new tyres fitted, might not all be today we'll see.

Left mine under the snow this morning and took the missus's car to work instead

You'd be better getting the tracking done after the new tyres are on Lee? Unless your current tyres still have a decent amount of tread left. Or you need to drive 200 miles to the garage for the tracking

 

[LEE69]

Yeah fronts are ok ish rears need changing, Why 200 miles? To settle down?

 

[csd_19]

No I was meaning get the new tyres on first then do the tracking - unless your garage was going to be 200 miles away and you didn't want to risk damaging the new tyres driving there

If the fronts are still okayish then at least you could still drive on the old ones with the tracking out until you get the tyres swapped, then get 'er tracked.

 

[LEE69]

Ahh with ya nah garage is only a couple miles away

 

[joshy514]

Going to put my new wheels on now

 

[LEE69]

Guys seriously appreciate the car you drive, mines in for work and daughter lent me her rover 1.4 (not passed yet) and OMG what a nail!!! Also the immobiliser decided it didn't want to turn off so stuck out side school after getting my daughter for 40 mins lmao

Ordered new top mounts front and rear to get ready for coilover fitting .

 

[Mattyboy1]

Came home to find one of the mums or dads on the school run had hit my rear bumper on the corner while pulling out from behind mine and just drove off. Went and had a word with the head of school and told her its about the 3rd time this has happened. She came and looked at it and said the school will pay for the damage. Took it to a body shop who told me for cash it will be £180 or with an invoice it's £220. Can't see the school wanting to pay that much.

as an every day car .drove it to work got board lunch time so took the charge pipe off striped it down to metal with a halford special soft stripping disc for the drill only took 30 mins then bashed out the baffle another 20 mins, very easy to do used a hacksaw blade made 4 cuts down the baffle then used a chisel just shattered into bits, easy peasy
got home to find my 20mm spacers turned up which ended up being 15mm!!!! heyho lol never mind fitted the rears only due to getting dark

Get some plate surrounds, attach them to the car then you can just clip in whichever plates you want. Looks smart too!

 

[Harfi]

Tried on some wheels could only do the rear as the fronts wouldn't clear my brakes
