Cheers for the welcome guys and I'm glad you all like the splitty she really is my girl, my girlfriend doesn't get jealous if other girls, only my cars which is fair!

Car is booked in for a cambelt, water pump and engine steam clean on Thursday down Canterbury by my university at TMC, Mobil 1 oil and vw racing panel filter came in the post yesterday and ill be going tps to pick up spark plugs and pollen filter some time this week. So all in all a full service by the end of next week

Excited for tomorrow as I've got a das6 pro and polish coming in the post, gotta wait for chemical guys uk to pull the finger out for the pads and sealant though, it would be lovely for a full detail and protect before winter comes

Final note, spent the day cleaning the muck off my old monzas for a refurb as they will be my winter wheels, 8 years of ground in sh*t takes forever too get off and I've only done 2 of them, ill throw some pictures up as I go through the stages

Cheers for looking guys

As always any feedback is welcome
Tommy

Moved back to uni and settled in in the new house so i thought id throw an update of whats been going on with the car in the last month or so

Day before I moved back all got a bit much with me mum and dad banging on about packing so I did what any normal person would do and went to machine polish the car, at the time my dad was moving work space so had an empty lot to work in which was the nuts



after the standard process of two bucket, clay, rewash, dry I cracked on with taping it up, which took a lot longer than i thought it would



Apart from the swirls i didnt think the car looked that bad in terms of depth, oh was I wrong, heres a cheeky before


and then after a good 6 or 7 hours it came out like this


I always knew the lazer blue was a special colour but now im truely head over heels with the car

the I untaped the car and stood back to admire the out come of one of the most peaceful days of my life, if uni dont work out I think Id give detailing ago its a pure joy

Then freshers started, to resist the urge of driving my car throughout the days when i knew id be over the limit I did the sane thing and took the air box off to give me something to do, this was the result, some kind of ford blue (closest I could get to Lazer in Halfords) finished with satin black everywhere else, looks a lot better in person


Then the car went to the garage to get the cam follower done which pretty much ticked all the boxes to allow me to go stage 1, as always though something got in the way and I had to dip into remap money to get a new battery, the original had lasted 8 years which I think is pretty decent, since replacing it my sub is only powering up half way, any one got any thoughts on what could have cause it?

recovered those funds and started getting all excited for a remap and suprise suprise something else decides to poke up, what appears to be a split pcv from another thread on here, going new york next week so gonna pick up a bsh pcv revamp works out a lot cheaper than getting one here.

not all doom and glume though had a day off yesterday and thought id prept the car for winter, went for 2 coats of trusty nattys blue paste and its come up a treat


and a cheeky money shot of the beading i found this morning


cheers for readin guys throw some input my way if you want always looking for ideas
Tommy
