Title: Bank holiday plans
Post by: Wazzzer on 26 May 2013, 18:43
So what have got planned or already done over the bank holiday weekend?

I've stripped the lower half of my dash out to finally wire in my WMI solenoid and also sort out the wiring to my gauges. If I've got time I'll also be sanding down the rest of my DIY US rubstrip ready for a dust of paint next week. I may also wash it but I can't promise lol

i planned to remove the evap canister, i got the resistor but bought the wrong blanking plug for the TIP. i thought 10mm would have been enough.. :tongue:
i also plan to move the N75, i`ve bought Ev1 pigtails and i`ll be taking off from where the evap canister used to go to the TB.

So, my plans changed! Tackling my front valance which was crying out for fresh paint due to stone chips/damage. Up to this point at the moment:

so far iv done nothing all weekend apart from sit around the house hungover or sit in bars with the lads (and also a ridiculously hot friend of a friend who graced us with her presence last night, but that's a different story)

today I think I will go refit the anni valance though

and possibly raise the coilovers a little...
