Haha yeah the 1.4 and 1.6 mk3s like to whine a bit a low speeds

Whenever I'm parking the power steering sounds like an Eaton supercharger

If only

Tell me about it. Whiney b!tch.

The SPi models don't, don't even know what makes the whine?

Cheers mate.

Plan to. Going to get some red pinstripe on, might end up ripping it off, who knows? going to get new side repeaters and want front fog lights. Eventually some decent alloys.

Still wanting to do all the small things, like the brakes, just generally tidy's it up.

Brakes.

Thermostat.

Car now louder, warmer, better on fuel and the brakes are all

.

Also put the wiring in for a sub/amp and then got stuck on a speed bump on a road with roadworks. Sill.

Sump is scraped, exhaust is scraped and it's not even properly low.

Took the back cover off my phone = better pictures.

Because I can't insure it, the money I saved up to insure it, machine polisher and some pads for the rest of the car. STILL gotta find time for the bumpers and gonna get some materials for the other wheel refurb.

Insurance in April thanks to having a years driving experiance on company policy, with proof is £1600. Well pleased.

Top mounts changed. Took ages as I stripped the coilovers down, wire brushed all the threads, cleaned it all up and put a new layer of grease on. Copper grease works, dirt sticks but they don't seize.

Got a phone holder, "DMonday'd it" (my new term tbh

) and some trim with an angle grinder
