Re: What work did you do on your car today?
Shocks are near new. That's just how they are.. cheap, crappy and scary, but loads of fun. Going to drop the pressures a bit after work today if I remember to. Stopped nose diving since I put the pressures up so gonna drop them down a bit and see how we go.
Just going to paint the standard wheels to freshen them up, not going to mod this much aside from maybe a tacho if I get a good deal on one and some cheap replacement wheels if I find some. And sort out a good floor base for the boot so I can put engines in there.
Don't want to spend on this car aside from general upkeep, that was always the plan.

Re: What work did you do on your car today?
and of course this happened to me too... so the car is quite dinged up at the moment.. but slowly working on it...
since I've been gone...
* front strut brace fitted
every car should have one... the difference is imediately noticeable
* D2 adjustable shocks installed
love the look but now have rubbing issues to sort out
* new alarm
with wicked key inside remote fitted...
*100,000Km service done
this has left me with a lumpy idle... i thought it was cool at first but now i am kinda embarrassed by it's tendencies to stall during 3 point and parking manouvres
