    Nope i didnt fit a decat or anything exciting. I did change my pollen filter though and the result of it is many cuts, another broken piece of plastic behind the dash and not getting dust in eyes when i turn the heater up full. Why the hell do car manufacturers make even the simplest of jobs a nightmare, ill never understand.
    Load of torx heads i have, loads of spanners, sockets etc....but did i have the necessary size tool to remove 1 5.5mm nut.....course not! A 5mil and 6mil yes...but no 5.5!:mad:

    God bless mini vice grips!

    Super job.
    Quick top-up with Blitz every couple of weeks should keep it that way for you.

    I'm in the middle of respraying my friends civic coupes front bumper. I remember posting the rear bumper I did so this is next on the list. Being the nose of the car it has to be perfect! Quatre to midnight and I'm just applying the first coat of paint now :P

    Also have a decat pipe to put in it tomorrow, I'll get pics up soon enough.

    Picked up car from garage. Got hedgehog resistor connections cleaned so now its working properly, they did order one but it was the wrong one for the car so they set about getting the old one to work and it does now. Got some bulbs changed and brakes checked thought had an issue with them as there was a vibration in the pedal. They balanced the wheels so seems to be ok now. Ordered new lock nuts as well will pick them up on Monday. A few little issues ticked off the list!

    They said it couldn't be done, they said I was mad to try. But I did it.

    Today I filled the Octavias boot.

    As long as there are no sharp or jagged edges it will pass. Check the nct site for more details.
