January 8, 201511 yr Good idea Gambit, shall have a think on a colour ;). Oh no Stants :(, on the bright side... nice gearbox mount!
January 8, 201511 yr Author Hopefully gonna fit it tonight, also found out someone's nicked me small jack and thrown half a bottle of millers oil in the bin
January 8, 201511 yr Author **** easy to be honest, thought I'd be fighting with seized bolts after reading horror stories, cracked them all off undid crossmember while still on car, dropped all out then popped new crossmember bushes in and 'box mount. Then the fun started tightened crossmember up before placing back but had to loosen it to get the rear bolt holes aligned, the torque specs were silly 114 for the 19mm bolts ? I just went by feel as if I'd used the wrench I'd have sheared them. The rear crossmember bush on one side wouldn't go all the way up so undid the rear and started again, Not sure why but it refused to go in totally square so I did my best and gonna let it all bed in then take another look next week when I've done some milage on it may squish into place
January 8, 201511 yr Well my poor little car looks like its been playing in dirty puddles all week. Well it kind of has been, been going to the same site in Chester all week down a crappy dark road, got to go there again tomorrow, looks like I'll be dropping into Shell garage tomorrow on the way home to apply some liberal use of their pressure washer [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 9, 201511 yr Resorted to going through a car wash last night due to it being bad weather all weekend and it was it great need of a wash :(, Also got the Shell this morning and all the pumps are out of order... except V Power... WIN!
January 9, 201511 yr Terrible, resorting to a car wash. You've sooo gone down in my estimation. [emoji6] Someone scraped down the side of my wife's car, fortunately it looks like the merest brush and rather than go through insurance and all that hassle, it looks like a little polish and it should come out, if not I'll be pity g the claim in, not seen it in daylight yet so won't know till tomorrow.

January 9, 201511 yr Yeah nobody should use car washes not even if its cold. And with the clay cloth company's deals you have no excuse [emoji6]
January 9, 201511 yr Gambits got shares in clay cloth I reckon, either that or he thinks if he mentions them enough he'll get freebies [emoji6] Agree, no excuse to use a car wash unless you really hate your paintwork [emoji12] I'm actually leaving mine filthy in preference to using a car wash, much as that pains me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 9, 201511 yr That would be nice I doubt he will see it but if he does just incase. After Smart cars, smartphones and smart tellies, now we have smart Clay Cloths. With the power to clean right through to the shine, with it's One formulation to remove toughest dirt and grime from the paint the clay cloth gives you more power to your elbow for almost instant results. Don't delay Clay today. Not in conjunction with any sexual aids.
January 9, 201511 yr Fitted my kick plate badges. Thanks Scotty! Look good mate I'll have to chase him up again for Steves domed badges :)
January 9, 201511 yr Look good mate I'll have to chase him up again for Steves domed badges :) Reminded him today matey, he said he'd give you a shout
January 9, 201511 yr Just watched taken 3. Disapointed it was only rated 12, not too disimilar to a disney movie.
January 10, 201511 yr Gutted, I thought the same about Taken 2, hoped they'd have improved this one. :( my mates and I still take the **** with that final scene where he kills the main guy at the end with a tap on the forehead with his palm. We do that to each other whenever someone's acting up lol. Are any of those kick plates available with STi logos?

January 10, 201511 yr Both and words to the effect of..You and that F*****G Car,why cant you just leave it alone. :P
January 10, 201511 yr I get the exact same and I haven't even started it yet just throwing ideas around.
January 10, 201511 yr Well looks like the woman that hit my wife's car is going to settle and pay the £142 it's going to cost for a new trim. Looks like I'm taking the car in next week to get it done. Just off to clean them both now the weather is brightening up. Feel a wax and polish session coming on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
