Project OCD Inferno



As we all know, silver seatbelts get very dirty. They was massively letting the interior down in my opinion. @Austin182 has done a great guide in his project thread of how to sort this out.

Makes a world of difference IMO
 
Does it feel better after the map? Could you feel that flat spot when driving? Been ages since I looked at a 1*2 graph.

I'd love to make it on the 21st but think I'm away that weekend.

Feels loads better since the map. Yeah, it didn't feel like a flat spot at such, more just a big kick at 5250rpm. Power delivery is smoother now!

Fair enough, have you found some new wheels for the mini yet? :)
 
Yeah new wheels have arrived and been fitted, looks and drives better but now desperately needs coilovers! Could fit your car in the arch gap. I should be at the Newark meet this month if you make it.
 
Wanted some different wheels, and Chi had a set of turini's for sale.

I set off on a long drive over to Spinksy's house to collect them from Chi as he was also dropping a set off wheels off for Tom. However Chi ran out of fuel on the way,so took a bit longer than expected so had a chat with Tom for a bit about cars. Chi turned up, money swapped hands and they were mine! Also got a free bag of Skittles ;)

Got them back home;

I wanted to get the cleaned and sealed before they went on the car;

Looking good mate! :)

With the paint pot, did you have to lacquer it or anything and is it obviously noticeable where you've painted it?

I've got a few stone chips I want to touch up that's all.

Cheers mate

It's came off again :( It dries fine but then soon as it rains the water gets behind it so the paint comes off :(

Think I'm going to spray it instead. Then get it done properly when I can afford it.

Hmm okay then :/ yeah you'll have to get a spray can mixed up. I'll give it a go with the paint pot and let you know how I get on :)

Yeah! Okay mate, I think it will be fine on little spots, just on a bigger area it doesn't cling on very well!

Greats pics again mate, i found you on instagram the other day.

Thanks again matey, still got more to come! Yeah you did, I spent ages looking at photo's of your old EK9. So much want!
 
Is that a 3/4 plate? :D when I put my Turini's back on we will literally have the same car. We have all the same mods apart from the Trophy spoiler and a few little things.

Also, do you have a photo of your dial surround with the sidelights on? I fancy a change... ;)
