dr_broon Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Quick pic of the mini honda meet at ours now. Karen's civic, Steppy McStepwagon, and Tubs2 (aka Shelly) Still waiting for the bumper for the wagon.. Got one sent eventually, but they sent the wrong one, so waiting for it to be collected and swapped. Other than that it's mot ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 Mot ready.. In tomorrow morning - fingers crossed 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 Forgot to update this.. Got through it's mot with a few bits needed, but just maintenance tips things, drop links, ball joints etc, and some advisories on thin pads. Got sorted, and got some nice new rainsports on the wheels off Karen's old blue accord, and got them fitted this week. Quite like the look of them. Also refurbed the compressor for the air suspension, and fitted a new pressure switch, so that's all working great as well now. Glad to have ditched the "snow leopard" winter tyres that were on the steelies, and with some more air in the suspension, it handles much better. Did the pads while I was on, and pleased I did, because they were OLD. the driver fronts were the worst... They fell to bits when I took them out. Also, chucked a bit of paint on the side skirts where the garage had peeled their stickers off and took the paint with it before they sold it. Fixed a hole in the corner of the spoiler with some filler and got some paint on.. Rough as a badger's arse, but it works for now. Fitted the spoiler for the first time today, and love the crazy look it has. Finally, made a little shelf to go over the air tank to allow camping stuffing to take place. Adventure ready! 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, loving it to be honest.. It's dead comfy for munching miles, if not quick. Totally the opposite to the deck.. Sat up tall, soft air springs, and lazy drive, instead of low down, stiff and engaging. Got the best of both worlds now 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Think I prefer comfort now, getting old! Days of lowered and beefed up suspension long behind me now. Even the TypeS I feel is as stiff as I'll ever go suspension wise. DD and Gayle's wee Foxt Micra feel like a floating carpets compared to Lexy lol. Can see Steppy on a nice set of 18" dishes alloys though at some point, think it would really suit them mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love the go kart deck, but we've just done 100 miles out so round Cornwall in the stepwagon in the summer and it was spot on for comfort. Karen's civic is quite nice as a daily though.
