yeah i need to wrap my one at some piont and at the same time relocate the powersteerin pipe around the mainfold as its currently touching it.

this arrived in the post today at work while i was sleeping, got the message and went down there, for what i paid for them im quiet happy how they are for now, its just a matter of time to see if it fully works once i get it installed.

cars had a little of love this week, 2 brand new tyres yesterday and then sent her back to my mates garage for tracing to be looked at and my mate was surprised to see how out of place it was when he looked at it. got it all sorted now and its like a dream to drive and now not having problems with the powersteering being soft as its abit harder, topped it with some oil aswell until i can get my jack back and get a oil change done.

Brand new f20 gear drive has been deliverd and picked up from local VX Dealership, so that and the transponder will go on the car over weekend and then ill get some help from my mate to add the digital dash inside, sorta dont wanna do it alone incase i do it wrong tho it looks simple.
and powersteering comes off fully tomorrow, currently only has the belt taken off.

cars been forced off the road, have a big knocking noise when i turn right, so got to jack it up and see if i can find the problem, while im doing it im going to wire up my digital clocks.

fitted:
New bootlid with spoiler and rear light tints
smooth badboy bonnet but needs to come back off for respray this weekend hopefully
cig lighter installed, works but doesnt have enough power to work my satnav, does it need earthing? its connected up only by pos & neg on the battery with a inline fuse
digital clocks in, but i think i mite of missed/wired it in slightly wrong

this week:
stripping my mates old arden blue shell and adding
front light tints then ill get the rears puts in later in the week
