Ok so eBay late at night you find something you like the look of and place a checky bid. You wake up the next morning have a busy day at work and forget that you've bid. So you buy a sim alar part you been think of buying for a while only to win the checky bid. Or is it just me???
It true coolant caps are like busses!

These arrived today

034 Motorsport solid subframe bushes. Direct from the US they cost $49 but also $66 P&P, forget that!!! So I asked around and was told that Eddie (HEKTOR on ASN) from WOT Motorsport had a batch for sale. Eddie is a top guy who drives a 650 BHP RS4 and stocks a lot of 034 Motorsport and other US brands part. I payed for them yesterday and there here today.

Had a good but flipping cold trip to Blyton today and meet up with the Lads from LVSR. There was only 15 cars there in total but with snow in the air I'm not surprised. There was a R8 V10 there that got black flagged for not moving out the way of LVSR's demo A3 Quattro 2.0t. Which was quite funny. Also the owner of Blytons friend turned up in his helicopter. I need a go at this track day lark so after the brakes and suspension are replaced I'm going to give it a go.

My Forge 007p DV was in need of a service so I found the old standard DV and ordered a servicing kit. The plan was to service it lapping the valve in and then get it anodised black.
Well since then there has been numerous threads on versions forums and FB about how much all these fancy after market DVs leak. Bills bubble tests on a few different DV and found only the standard DV doesn't leak also that it'll hold out for more boost then I'll ever see!
So I've just put the OEM DV back on. Sound wise it's the same as the forge one only a lot crisper (mine needed a service). So it's staying fitted and my forge DV is going on eBay.

Also I've just ordered a few more goodies today!

I've just treated my self to a fancy new cone filter with built in velocity stack.
 
It's a standard Honda S2000 filter £22 on eBay you can buy them cheaper but I payed extra for a red one! 80mm also so a direct fit, result! They're all the rage on ASN.

One little update from yesterday is that I've finished of the gas strut/strut brace ball joint.
How it looked.

Re using the original ball joint.


I just need to spray the area the original bracket was removed from.
