Dom's Mk4 Story So Far - it's all over!

[dom]

Not much to report really, sanded down some more net optic trim:



Changed the temp sensor again for a genuine one, forgot to undo expansion cap before unplugging sensor, got a mouth full of coolant



Stuck standard lights back on to see what they looked like:



Decided they looked rubbish so put other ones back on.

MOT is booked for 9.30 tomorrow morning!

Pass MOT with flying colours, 2 advisories:

- one of the rear shocks is leaking slightly
- gearbox flange seal leaking a bit as well.

All in all not too bad

Probably both down to you being so low lol

yay someone else has finally done it! Thought I was the only one

It's highly likely down to me being low, it's a good excuse to upgrade the rear struts though

I knew what I had done before I'd finished pulling the sensor out, it was too late by then though

In other news, went to DC13 today and ended up wishing a had a lot more money to spend on a car

I also managed to do this on the way home:







 

I was going to get them refurbed anyway, but this has given me the kick I need to get it done! Now to decide on the colour....

[Wayne]

Ouch thats a lot of damage

[scarr89]

Chosen the wheels new colour yet? 

Did you do all of that damage in one sitting?

Not decided on the colour yet

Yeah, gave it a right battering didn't I

[dom]

Finally fitted my S2000 cone filter and heatshield today - the thing is huge!







I'm going to rip out the SAI pump and associated crap tomorrow along with the carbon canister. I'll order a catch can sometime soon and simplify the PCV system and do the brake booster mod to tidy the bay up a bit.

Also bought a spare inlet manifold so I can get that powdercoated along with my spare rocker cover when I get the wheels done - should look good.

Looks like it will be a tight fit with the bonnet shut!!
