What are you lot like, I don't think the missus would be too impressed if her pictures were plastered all over the internet lol.

Haven't updated this for a while so this is quite a big one, just been copied over from another forum.

Well, got a few little updates, and I do mean little.

My sister bought me a baffled de-cat for christmas (courtesy of Aaron_vti on here), so I set about getting that on, which was a right b*****d due to one bolt / nut connecting the cat to the b-pipe, the thread was knackered and the nut was just spinning, eventually managed to get it off though.

Next up was to attend to something that's been p**sing me off ever since I bought the car, every time I opened the boot I noticed them and instantly shivered lol.

These dirty b*****ds:

So, I set about giving them a scrub with a detailing brush and APC.

Also, my sister picked up this little dude for me while in M&M world.

My dad bought me this for christmas after my last alarm shat itself, so we plan on getting this fitted in a couple of weeks time. It was either a new alarm or a trackday, no point booking a trackday and waking up to no car on the morning because it's been nicked!

Well, got a few other bits to do in the next few days but as mentioned at the start. This will be a slow one, waiting on my 300mm flat Broadway to arrive, girlfriend bought me it for xmas but it's still not arrived!

Comments more than welcome

Well, as I'm sure you've seen from above I f**ked a shaft. So once back from holiday I started to get that sorted. Going from 40oC to -2oC and snow to fit a driveshaft was grim :/

So, back home on the RAC truck it was:

All better

Also, this finally arrived from H-Tune, one of my xmas pressies from the missus.

300mm flat Broadway, can see so much more around me now, surprised cars don't come with larger rear view mirrors as standard to be honest.

Also tarted up my spark plug cover as I was bored of the blank silver.

And a couple of pictures of how the car stands now, except I have now got some OEM wheel nuts so I could have my centre caps on

And spent the day stripping her out so I can get my new Toad alarm fitted. Also off to Kode Performance on Tuesday for a thorough inspection of my rear arches and other imperfections, to decide what route to take to rectify them Just need to order some new arches and will probably have it all done over Easter ready for Mimms and Japfest.

Well that's all for now, may give her a good clean up tomorrow if the weather is alright. Next on the books is a full 2 stage paint correction, will do that in a couple of weeks time during my half term. Get her back to Y-56, instead of pastel yellow

As always, comments and criticisms welcome

Thanks.

Looking good harv, bloody Honda drive shafts eh?! [smash.gif]

We can't see your wheels chap, the quality of the pictures is pooh! :(

Thanks mate, yeah I don't know what happened there. I've had an old boy who I think was an engineer, machinist or something, have a look at it and he was showing me the stages it had been twisting in before it finally snapped.

Yeah, sorry about the pictures, usually only got my phone on me, here's one off the camera though :)

Bit clearer :)

Gone in the normal place I see, might want to budget for the other drive shaft dude! Once you've replaced one it's a matter of time before the other goes if it hasn't already been done!

Toad Ai606 is a bang on system, had one on my EK4, was perfect! :)

So it's not a rare occurrence then? One of my mates snapped one on his Del Slow too, but the opposite side. Going to get one ordered up for the other side, I was going to buy both sides at once but wanted to check the quality of them before buying a pair, and I must say, I am most impressed. They look better built than OEM and I'm sure the replacement is thicker!

Yep, it's a very good system, just waiting for my proper Toad proximity sensor to arrive before we set about fitting it. My Dad is in the auto electrician / in car entertainment / locksmith trade so will be done good an proper :D
