bdohohh Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 It must be the same cat that runs out infront of me haha. But like u say i dont mind someone coming past me as long as they arent an arse about it just pointless driving like that hahaha that cat deffo gets about I've been driving four years and I still count two seconds passing objects to make sure I'm not too close to someone I'm so fussy about it I scream at my boyfriend if he stops at lights even too close to someone infront. it's my biggest driving pet peeve.

morgey Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've a friend like this but i swear he's just paranoid because everytime he starts moaning about someone being close theyre usually miles away lol. Sometimes he even gets out the car the crazy fool hahaBut that damn cat is a right nuisance always there when someones close behind ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a pretty calm driver and very rarely rise to something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll put one in my spare tailgate and use that when I'm driving around town haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 pistons - honed. New piston rings - on.I smell a new engine coming very very shortly ;) Also her first car show of the season (not japfest, a much much smaller local to me car show at a primary school lol) is tomorrow and all her stonechips are touched in, she looks mighty mighty good. Many props to my boyfriend who did it last minute because I woke up this morning feeling fine and by 8am was convinced I was dying. Never felt so sick in my life. So not only did he clean my car for me he also brought me cupcakes and a take away when he was finished. (Y) will get as many photos as I can tomorrow, might even whip the dslr out to try and get some artsy shots. hopefully the new engine will be in within a week or two, then just waiting on the arrival of the new spoilers, paint them and then the new tailgate can go on, then all the stickers can be replaced too. We're so close to being finished body work wise, it's killing me how close I am to having her how I want Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I know that feeling beth lol!!! Looking forward too the new updates new engine will be epic!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Haha sorry rich I shouldn't complain! So she's clean as a whistle anyway! Don't think she's ever looked so good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adzy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Looking well! That front lip really transforms the front of it.Never been to harmony hill before! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Thanks! I love the front lip, makes the front end more aggressive I think. Will deffo need it once the rear end is all spoilered up. It's a good show, only me and one other ep showed up, but a lot of nice rare cars. Seen a lot of people taking photos so hopefully get some nice edits of her up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bdohohh Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 Got one photo, wasn't too keen on how it came out saturation wise so I changed it a bit and think it came out a lot better. Can't lie I love how she looks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phil. Thank you very much sir! Good getting your seal of approval on her. I feel like all the hard work on her couldn't have happened if you hadn't have let us know she was for sale so I'm very grateful! I really enjoyed the day I have to say, even if the show was lacking in numbers it was nice catching up with people! I know Joel had a great day too, although me and home were both so so tired last night haha. No problemo, anytime. I love bragging about how comfy they are so it was my pleasure haha. Just let me know if you need those speedlines stickers, they're just chilling in my door. So I took a little drive today and ended up in a rather picturesque area about 20/30 miles from my house. It was pissing down with rain but I still got some pretty nice photos. The ones on top of the mountain were risky haha, the road up to that is tiny and the steepest thing ever, I was in first the whole time sitting at like 2000 rpm. My car also cut out at the top haha luckily she turned over with a few throttle pumps again but scared the shite out of me as no recovery lorry was getting up there and Joel is in Bristol currently so I would have been stuck. But anyway, the photos aren't great as I'm far from a professional but I think they came out ok. I know everyone loves to see pics (the window steamed up caught the flash, but without the flash the wheels looked black so I kept it in anyway ) the editing is pretty shaky in some of them but i was mostly trying to make the wheel colour look as bright as it actually is, or cover up rain drop smears on the lens that I didn't notice :L Like I said, faaar from good at photography haha.
