Found the CUPRA R Splitter does not make a good snow plow (especially when held by self tappers)

Zip tie should hold it up until I get a chance to replace the screws

I essentially looked at my car, looked at the snow, then went back indoors. I've got a sticky rear calliper that needs sorting but I'm just not doing it in snow.

Well after over a week off the road I got the car back last night. Was due to go into awesome for the awesome clutch kit but due to the weather and the clutch failing I had to have it done locally. So had a sachs original single mass conversion new slave and new master and also had all the poly bushes fitted to the front wishbones and arb. The car is transformed clutch pedal is so light and bite is a lot more responsive. The flywheel is a lot lighter than the dmf so the pick has change dramatically. Very impressed with the few miles iv drivenn it so far. And for a reasonable price as well
 
Just dug my yellow beastie out from under the snow. She hasn't moved since Christmas eve due to festive drinking and then going to work offshore for last three weeks. She started first time and putting out full voltage :) :)

Just need to take her out for a good drive now.

Oh and the wife has given me the okay to get a Airtec fmic from AmD at the end of the month followed by full turbo back cobra exhuast after my next trip or two offshore. Well happy! Now roll on payday so I can get ordering before she changes her mind!!

Just had to run out of work as I sore a golf sliding down the car park into it, jumped in a moved it 2 inches befor it went into the side of mine, very relieved. Not impressed with the div that tried to climb the steep car park with very bald tyres though.
 
Told her she was a dirty bitch and would be getting it at the weekend. A wash, that is. Got a Nilfisk Power Washer for £60 from Argos ... It's quality :D
 
Managed not to hit it with my other car. Drove my MR2 up the drive and the back end clipped the Cupra Sport... Two days on the trot. Mrs was watching both times. I blamed the snow and sloped drive... Shame
