Few hours work this morning, just doing little bits and bobs tbh.Old gear box oil, only about 2.5L of it and it was black as black. Luckily our washing broke so i used the hose from that to refill it!
Undersealed the rear arches, pic is part way through painting one side. You can also the air deflectors i folded for the front brakes, dont think these will be going on as i cant secure them tightly, if they come off they would cause some damage i recon lol.
Folded a bit of metal at work, to mount hazard swtich and cig lighter. Ive ordered some 3M carbon wrap to go over this, shouldnt look to bad when done! Oh and hid the other wires up behind the dash
Painted the interior grab handles matt black also, as the old flame red was getting scratched and looked out of place inside the car.
Also lowered the front 5mm, might have to raise the rear up slightly as the 15mm rear spacers sometimes hit the arch on rough roads with big bumps lol Few pictures from the EA meet at the weekend, thanks to Rich for the pics
So today, my car was running rough. Misfiring, engine lights flashing, sound like a lawnmower and had no power! Luckily i wasnt far from home so limped it home and straight onto the drive way.
A little while later after a bit of angle grinding and undoing bolts the exhaust was off. Which revealed this lovely crack! (KTEC Stealth Exhaust)
As you can see, the weld which holds the silencer on is where the crack has started and then spread round. Obviously a weak point. Systems on about 25k from looking at previous owner receipts.
This is how it stands for now. Wheels are off so i could drop the rear axle lower and the bumper was in my way lol.
My dad is taking the exhaust with him to work, to attempt to fix it. Im hoping this will work, otherwise ill be heading to lewis to pic up another exhaust
Danny, thanks for the offer mate im hoping the car was just playing up because the exhaust. Hopefully i shall know by Tuesday night whats wrong with it.
Also for to mention ive ordered some federal 595 rs-r tyres for the black williams wheels, if the cars sorted soon i should be heading to Snetterton on the 11th of march
