Get an uprated headlamp loom if you havnt already. Only downside is the relay in the engine bay that can cause problems!

loving that garage

Right haven't updated in ages so heres a good en for you.
Put a new radiator on her as she decided to drop a good few litres of water on my drive overnight but rad was free because my mates going clean engine bay to using a beemer top fill, which was nice of him.
 Sailed through its MOT today which im mega uber super happy about and got another 6 months tax slapped on her. Only Mot advisory was the front tyres are getting a little sh!te but have no money atm due to insurance due friday  Also pointed out that the fan wasnt working to must have plugged it in the wrong way round or the temp sensor, will have a look thurday as im away at the min.

Also took advantage of the super awesome SPAX offer on at the min and got a full set of RSX coilovers for a mere £500 (my last ones have been on for 15 years so more than happy to buy another set). These shall be getting put on her this weekend which should also stop all rubbing on the rear arches as both rear shocks are borderline completely destroyed due to lincolnshire roads.

Will get a few pics of the new coilies up this weekend hopefully.

Congrats on the MOT, i'm dreading mine coming around....pretty sure it's gonna need the sills welded 

15 years is an insane amount of time to be running the same coilies, I guess you really do get what you pay for!

Just a few pictures for youze. Right, first the rad change:

Rad out:

Right, next on the cards was coilovers, didnt take many pics as i just wanted to get it done!

a box of sexualness



the contents



'free' stuff, the hat is pretty cool



the difference between a 15 year old rsx coilover and new




nob of a bolt that prompted the thread about removing rounded bolts



windy gun? Pah, powerdrill clamping an extension bar with an impact bit on the end for top mounts. And it worked   



Job done!
