Had a productive day today!

Martin (did everything) helped me:

Re-wire sunroof (hi-tech sh*t, it auto closes when you turn the car off :D )
Tighten power steering belt
Tightened up my centre glove box so no more wobbling and sh*t

I:

Installed rear strut brace
Re-fitted interior ECU cover panel/flare panel
Put in my crappy floor mats to save my genuine ones
Vacuumed carpet

:cheers:

Also, can someone move this to member's rides now please :D

Cleaned it today (the interior, anyway)

Taking all the seats except mine out so c**nts stop leaving sh*t in my car :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Also, has developed a habit of backfiring... and I'm only getting about 400km/tank

Think she needs a tune :lol:

Yeah I actually think mine is a leak at the headers so 02 sensor is getting wrong information. But it is almost definitely running rich.

Just wanted to say "needs a tune" to make myself feel like it performs enough to actually need one :lol:

To be fair, with the bad mileage, it is just to and from work which is like 5km each way, on at least 3/4 throttle for almost all of it. Was getting good mileage to and from the bonfire so I think its just a mixture of short trips and it running only a little bit rich..

Got my 17 inch wheels on.

Running 205/40R17 Federal SS on the front and cheapies on the back.

Car is smoother than the 16s I had on there with a 50 profile or something like that :scratch:

Also, my steering wheel is now back to centre? :scratch: :lol:

Pics to come tomorrow!
