November 14, 20169 yr Bought some different wax as the colinite 845 I've been using for years is almost gone . The "Harley wax " was probably the easiest stuff to buff off that I've ever used [emoji41] I coated the whole scoob before starting to buff it off too , mind you it is made in california so was probably designed to be used in hotter conditions than a English winter lol . Also had the adjustable billet actuator turn up too [emoji39] Hopefully it will fit without hacking it to bits [emoji4]
November 15, 20169 yr The war for more blue continues. Replaced breather hoses, catch can doesn't fit muppet listed info wrong on eBay. Gonna be fun finding a space for it on the left side. Got some blue mats and conduit to do

November 16, 20169 yr Pic of new wax finish? [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Only just seen this , I'll have to take 1 next time I use it . As it's dark by the time I get home from work and the Mrs has been driving it in the rain this week ,so it's filthy already [emoji57]
November 17, 20169 yr @david1972 got home early enough for it to be light so took a couple of pics. I used the wax last Saturday and it seems to be holding up well ,seeing as it's been raining every day since [emoji53]

I miss my XV but a great car for tackling that type of weather. Good footage too.
November 18, 20169 yr Today I lost all response from my brakes and enjoyed severe juddering and lack of control... Now sitting on the hard shoulder of the M11 ... Could definitely be warmer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 18, 20169 yr So thought it was breaks. Turns out the lower wish bone on the drivers side had corroded through and snapped... Christmas just got somewhat tighter this year [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 18, 20169 yr doh! bad news. Better news for me, parts I have been waiting for for two weeks have finaly landed in the UK and at the supplier, only hicup is he has 15 pallets to go through to find em before he can send them to clinic. Hopefully means week tomorrow i'll get the car back :) Assuming, touch wood (pats head), the weather holds off, dont think mapping a hopefully 400bhp type R is a good idea in snow and Ice, even if it is only a road test after dyno map lol
