- Swapped my rims onto the black FTO to make sure it has some decent tyres with tread and not perished :lol: For the inspection.
- Replaced battery on the Black FTO
- Took the black car and is now sitting in the inspection bay for 2 days :twisted:

well yesterday I took out the front splash gards as they are F***ed, did some panel beatting to knock back the metal strip that runs down the back of the wheel arch, so it now will not hit on the wheel/tyre.
sprayed all the wheel arch black.

cleaned and polished the front rims :D

Washed car using High Pressure Water Jet... works wonders on mags and mud, only took me an hour instead of my regular 2.5 :lol:
Took to a dent from a 4x4 mishap a couple weeks a go with a rubber mallet. fixed it right up :mrgreen:
Sanded back area where paint had been moved from car to ground and sprayed with a clear coat to keep from rusting.
Maybe used a little too much spray... Oh well, better safe than sorry :lol:
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

***Changed the 2 lower engine mounts.

Results:
- Wheelspin is now more possible when shifting to 2nd straight after 1st gear at 7xxxRPM(or even in mivec range)
- Gear changing is a lot smoother now, used to feel a clang when footing the clutch after 1st gear or engaging 2nd.

***Also opened up my doors to grease up the rails where the window guides run in an attempt to slow down the wear.

***Put one of those sun mesh like shade visor things on my sunroof so whenever it is open(which i always love), the sun wont burn me.
97 GPX Icelle Blue
