What did you and your MK2 do today?

It's here!

Already??? It's 09.24. I'm planning on washing the car today as its been neglected the past 2 weeks due to 14 days of 12 hours shifts

LOL was referring to yesterday if i'm being perfectly honest, although this morning I have polished it and treated it to a coat of supaguard. I always forget what a bitch that stuff is to wipe off! Made doubly painful due the the car being white! You just can't see it once it's dried.

I feel the car should be cleaned before I do haha

 

[Daniel M]

Probably best lol.

I put my Jules Bianchi sticker on the car last night. Not perfectly straight I know, but its the thought that counts.

 

[Jarre]

I'll get it done!

It's pretty big isn't it! I wouldn't mind one but already got a few stickers and don't want to clutter my bootlid haha

Yeah bigger than I expected, I have a spare if you want it?

 

[Crafoo]

Does any of the money from these stickers go to any kind of charity or is it purely people cashing in on some poor souls misfortune?

If it's the latter I wouldn't go anywhere near one.

Yes, the guy I got mine off is donating money to the Brain Research Trust. I asked him to make me some as he didnt have a listing for them.

Went out for a play today with the gopro, nice noise coming from the induction kit aswell! http://youtu.be/YDsBc6tRj-w

Washed the car. Definitely needed a clean!

She was absolutely minging! Nice and clean now

Not minging enough to make the rims turn black yet

 

[locky]

It is. I keep hoping someone will come on and say they've had a stg2 clutch and dmf put in for < 1k.
That's the sole reason we haven't gone stg1 yet. If the clutch went, couldn't afford a new one yet

So really a remap for the R would be 1700, not 500 (when on offer)

Get stage 1 and just enjoy it once moving! Long as you arent abusing the clutch with standing starts and what not it will be alright. Stage 1 wont make the clutch last longer but it neednt murder it either.

Thats how I justified it anyway.

And if I do need a new clutch, credit card it is. Lifes too short not to be running stage 1.

yeah that's the reasoning I took tbh . It was a risk ,especially as I had about 10 months warranty left, until March 2015 ,but it seems so far to be well worth it
I blame Crafoo if anyone AS I copied him with the revo intake (except I went for a PC instead of Ceramic, then I made my own mind up with exhaust, then a bit more copying with the APR STAGE 1 And haven't regretted any of the decisions .

Picked up brand new set of 18's with new hankook v12 evo tyres today on my local gumtree, even came with new nuts, lockers and different centre cap overlays all for under £500, hard to say no really
