    Found out the colour i want can't be got in the cheaper paint, so the whole job is going to cost €800 to do instead...

    Slightly tempted to leave it in it's primer guise for a while...

    i'll see how my week pans out.

    Ah g'won and paint it sure, you're keeping us all in suspense waiting to see how the TDI turns out... :D

    750 quid poorer. 3 new tyres and 1 hardly worn one, fully aligned. New pads on rear etc. Time for the NCT. :(

    Changed the Clutch on one of the lads Integras today, what an easy car to work on.

    Brought my Civic to be tracked. I also popped in the steering wheel from my Integra into the Civic, makes a huge difference to the ****e on that was in it

    Just ordered a rake of smd 501s for all the interior, long overdue. And bought a 5000k hid kit. I better not change my mind about this car!

    5000k is good but 4200k is better light

    Oh i know but i didnt want fully oem colour and i didnt want 6000k so as to stay away from that look. 5000k still gives practically the same output. Plus 5000k match led sidelights and 6000k matches smd :D

    4300k ;)

    Went out to give the Alfa a run battery is flat and I noticed the interior passenger seat/floor is covered in mould. Dont think the sunroof is sealing properly.

    Check the roof lining around the sunroof.See if is stained or damp.
    We used to open the sunroof and pour some water into the channels to check if the drains were blocked, Process of elimination. :o

    CR-X passed the NCT retest after cleaning up the supposedly rusty brake lines and replacing anti roll bar bushings. She failed on wiper linkages last month. I never touched them (as there us feck all play in them) and they pass this time. Go figure.

    Next up is getting the wheels balanced. Horrible shake in the steering wheel at 110kph.

    Anywho, in your honour I've renamed the OT thread as this is going way off topic.
