Good news, Civic5 stickers are on. I decided to apply them on the rear small windows as it looks so right placed there haha. 

 

I have also gave the car a bloody good wash and wax. No pics yet as not quite finish ;)

And..... now the bad news. Just driving back home on the back roads. A cat runs straight out in front of my car and hit it at 60mph. To make things a bit more dramatic, when I slammed the brakes on, the car skidded all over the place! So the ABS didn't work at all! 

I went to check the cat and it just got up and ran away. The poor thing was sort of limping but still moving quick. I couldn't catch the cat and I couldn't be messing around on the B roads 12 o clock at night. The cat ran away in the darkness and I then carried on driving.I feel absolutely devastated about the cat, I really hope it got home safely  :(

 

 Now I need to get the front lip resprayed again....

I haven't been on the forum for nearly a week! The Aerodeck is having a few hiccups and it's MOT time...

 

Well I been driving around with no MOT for nearly a month actually...  :oops:  So she's off the road for a few days. The cat-mani is back on (now sounds boring), horn is now working and fixed a small exhaust leak.

 

Still got a fair bit of work to do though...

 

Last years MOT advisories - Rear trailing arm bushes showing signs of cracks and slight movement in the arms. Brake pipes going from front to rear are corroded but not seriously weakened. So these will be sorted! 

 

She's having some starting issues too. When it does start, it only run on 3 cylinders until it warms up. I expect it's the damp weather causing it or the distributor is causing the misfire. 

 

So I got a bit of an project going on here, FUN!  :D

It's the distributor because when starting it up from cold, i spray a bit of wd-40 over it, she then runs on all 4 cylinders. I'm guessing it's damp inside the cap.

Tomorrow's job is to replace the rear trailing arm bushes and brake pipes. I really cannot wait to get her back on the road. Driving this courtessy car (Clio 1.5 dci) is painful :lol:

Thanks @3dgean! :D 3 spoke Advan's are my favorite wheels too. I would love a set with black spokes and purple lip

 

 

The Deck is all legal and back on the road! I was smiling all the way driving home from work :lol: 

 

It was quite funny when I looked at the MOT certificate...

 

Advisories: Brake pipes slightly corroded

 

                    Vehicle too low for rolling road so declerometer brake test carried out
