  1. I've got a leak it my boot too, but not as bad. I've convinced myself that it's coming from the roof bars... was going to check on Friday but ran out of time.
  2. my air con had needed charging the whole 7 years I've had the car, so thought I might as well get rid.
  3. hope so... it's nyon 2 stone hanging in front of the front wheels forgot to say, also fitted a replacement screen wash motor (cheers 1000rpm) and also replaced the missing driver side headlight washer and new clips on both sides... been bugging me for ages but haven't been ar5ed to take the bumper off!
  4. been a while since I've updated this (though not much has happened ). Got the extended ball joints on, not a massive difference to be honest but it is noticable (drove around for a week with just the driver side one changed and you could tell there was a difference between wheels). I need to get an alignment done really, and then I'll find out, but I think that there's less camber than before. Also, I've lost a bit of arch clearance, but not as bad as before getting the spacers fitted for the shocks/springs. I've just had the aircon de-gassed (only 50g left in!) and have taken the aircon rad and compressor out - 11.5kgs weight loss.
  5. garage is awsome Dave I so need a garage
  6. not much left to say Dave but this does just keep getting better and better - bet the rear seats look mint
  7. big AWD estate gave it away - it was either that, or the next guess was the old legacy I keep seeing with all the ralley stickers on it. The wife used to keep ending up behind you on the way to / from work (she works on Team Valley) - she used to have a silver 3 door EP1 civic. bet it was thirsty nice motor though, was the first one I've seen
  8. no worries same when it happens to me what was the last motor that you had - it wasn't the stagea that I've seen around was it?
  9. sounds like me - the wife normally says something like "dork" when I do... last time was a couple of days ago when I gave a young lad in a lowered white metro the thumbs up in Whickham (so to speak) I'll keep me eyes peeled for you bud I'm loving the rain sports, and they were pretty good in the winter, but not a winter tyre... If these had been around when I got the Kleber's I'd have been tempted for deffinates.
  10. alreet butcher... I live in Stanley so know where you're coming from. last couple of years I've used kleber quadraxers... they're a winter tyre rather than a full on snow tyre and work great got stuck twice last year... once on sheet ice on a hill (was okay with a push) and once on the steep hill on my estate but that was coz the bit left between the tyre tracks was too deep for my loweredness and was lifting me of the snow (on with the snow socks though and away I went). they're supposed to be tyres that you can use all year round, but once the temps much over 10-12 degrees you can feel them moving around a bit, but I've had 2 winters (November to March) on mine and there's hardly any wear
  11. That sucks Jake - hope it's not too bad though & don't beat yourself up about it.
  12. cheers yeah, it's got the auto tailgate.. sometimes it needs a bit of help - loads of issues with them apparently, but think ours is just the struts (inside the head liner!) coz it works when it's warmer... pretty cool
  13. will get her cleaned up and do some whoring
  14. cheers.. needed to stick with vtec
  15. it's karen's family wagon all the way here's a quick pic of both the brown family estates:
  16. cheers dude - I like the way that from the back it could be a wee hatch back it is indeed - chuff knows why it's there (with a cable tie and a spammy bolt) not sure what we're going to do about wheels - it needs some rainsports adding either way... it's got mayruns on at the mo, and they seem a bit skittish in the moist. also need to try and sort out winter tyres - got some on karen's old steelie from her ep1, but will need new wheels to fit. quite nice having a quiet cruiser (as a counter balance to mine...)
