    it's always nice to hear people falling back in love with an m after being away... helps keep the faith if you know whati mean pleased that the probs should be fairly easily sorted as well Bud

    I'm thinking that maybe some time off the road might be in order next year and get a few bits and bobs done while the shocks are serviced....
  3. dr_broon

    and there's plenty of bumps out there does feel sweet though... apart from being a bit on the warm side for the winter tyres today.

    I used to keep doing the soldering thing, but they're a right nightmare.. last time I just got one of those new ones and was like wtf have I been wasting time and electricity (and crap soldering skills) for when you can just get one and screw it in

    my old clutch was like that for ages, from when I got her, until I got a new clutch with the gear box work... constantly thought it was on the way out, but it lasted about another 60k pleased that you've got her safe and Sound though bud

    it's been warm so far, so here's hoping... either that or its working from home time! did get the geo done while I was there though.. the ball joints had totally screwed the toe! need to get some camber control I reckon

    so took the car in to the garage last weekend to get oem springs back on for the winter, but they said one of the shock bolts has seized and was going to shear, and was welded to the bush... so they ordered some new bolts and a bush and took it back yesterday. they changed the back ones okay, then found that the spacers on the front shocks (to raise the spring cup) were well And truly stuck, and would have been to high for the oem springs so all back to normal... even lower than last winter because of the extended ball joints... so I'm snow plough Brown this year again.

    did they chip it as well, or was it already chipped?
  16. dr_broon
    nice one

    just been catching up on your thread - glad you've kept her.. looks sweet. and that plasti dip looks pretty cool... would it be good for bumper strips and the like?
  18. dr_broon
    I must have missed this the first time around... very nice an update would be good

    might be worthwhile trying a lower pressure just to rule it out if nothing else. I know when we got the wife's accord it had tyre pressures about that mark, and although the steering response was good it was awful in the wet... going to the recommended pressures helped a lot. also, in your first post you mention weight in the back, are you carrying much in the boot?
  20. dr_broon
    seem pretty high dude - have mine at 2.1
  21. dr_broon

  23. dr_broon
    bet you can't wait mate... Hope it all goes well
  24. dr_broon
