  1. All important 4 wheel alignment carried out today, definitely needed after new compression arms and front tyres.
  2. Car looks great!! If you think the stock exhaust sounds good, wait till you go aftermarket
  3. Every journey I max out 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears!!!
  4. Nice one pal for the heads up and list shuffle 2 WEEKS TO GO
  5. Checking on socials Yianni was impressed as its the quickest wrap he'd ever seen
  6. I used a jet wash from about a foot away, being sure not to stay in the same place but to keep the jet moving. Rinse down All purpose cleaner 5:1 *foaming spray nozzle Various brushes to agitate Jet wash off Dry any surface and pooling water At least half hour drive to help dry the engine bay. The next day a trim dressing of choice. Tip - do the underside of the bonnet just before the engine final jet off.
  7. Rotten, hopefully this being shared stops even just one performance car hero.
  8. Fantastic interest and some new names also, not a club meet to be missed. Thank YOU all
  9. They seem well cool, the other day helped out fitting new handbrake cables #twomanjob
  10. Was asked to clean a good mates 60's Cresta and how could I say no. Literally not seen a sponge in 10 years let alone a polish to which rain, snow and wind has been it's only means of care. Never dealt with panels so faded, not overly dirty considering but then again not seen the road in lord knows how long. Good scrub down, dry, prep then combo of compound and polishing pads with Menzerna products. Pictures: 
  11. I say machine, I used this on a corded drill. https://www.amazon.co.uk/buffer-Polishing-Sponge-Buffing-Adapter-x/dp/B073XC5RTX/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1553443095&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=drill+bit+polishing+pad&dpPl=1&dpID=413-Aa9kNkL&ref=plSrch
  12. Machine polish should get that up I used compound and bar keepers friend 
  13. Ello n welkom That's a good looking car
  14. New boots time, Michelin PS3's coming off so made sense switching to the PS4's. New tyres even for 45 profile, look to be squared off much more than the 3's or even the mpss. Really liked the PS3's, could torment understeer at will in the cold at slow speeds but on track apart from the expected blistering, felt the front end was always where it needed to be. Driven sensibly on road, never gave me bother in all conditions and the replacements are said to be possibly the best road tyre in OE fitment. I couldn't fit tyres, I'd be cleaning the wheels and tyres straight after for customers
  15. Numbers looking fantastic folks, can't wait!!!! Any more for a Zed drive out and lunch
  16. That's at neat find, I swapped out both sides for the JDM ones gaining the light up symbols on all 3 switches. The UK cars should have come with the better switches from new.
  17. Lovely little cars, has to be one of the best sounding 4 pots!!
  18. Yay!! She passed, here's to the next 12 months
  19. Yep as crazy as the rest of us, neighbors must have a right giggle - looks tidy.
  20. I came across this too, bit of a shock at first but is the updated part.
