aleximport25 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 right guys its been a while since i last updated. as the pics above show i have purchased a zisco td04 ram horn manifold which is currently getting sand blasted and will get a good coat of black stove paint.i did purchase a set of eye brows and had them sprayed but unfortunately on the way home from JAE one decided to depart the vehicle on the A1 and there wasnt much left :-( so im on the hunt for a replacement, i also purchased a clean ace which i installed straight away and replaced the bulbs for two SMD interior lights. ill get some updated pictures when im home :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aleximport25 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 So it's mot time The brakes has all been flush with dot5.1 fluid and feeling much better, the outer cv boots decided to split so both have been replaced.One night while having a beer with Drongo and we decided to spend the rest of the night polishing wheels. I've purchased a pair of rainsport 3s so they are getting fitted after the mot WednesdayI spied this glass hammer/seatbelt cutter cheap so I've got that to add to my list too.

akyakapotter Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Rain sport 3 are amazing I have them on the daily wouldn't be any good for the power of my glanza did have them on there before going forged best tires I've had to date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 So had a few issues when it came to the mot.headlight bulb not seated correctlyfront brake hoses fouling on driveshaft causing damage lack of catI poked the bulb and it sprang into place whoop and easy fix.Took the wheels off and couldn't for the life of me get the hoses to touch the driveshaft even on lock either way so a bit puzzled on that as I can't see any damage .... The cat is now my next task I'm going to visit another mot'er and smile politely and look the other way for this year but I want to get a sports cat.On the plus note I've rebuilt my fake turbosmart waste gate and fitted a genuine diaphram, seated the valve with grinding paste and fitted it to my manifold ready for fitting this weekend :-) I won a civic dual core rad on the bay so I'm hoping its here in time to fit that.
