^Can I just say I prefered the old rims?

Forget liked the old rims, I'm liking the heckles! Lol

You asked to have the stupidly low springs put on and you wanted to keep the knackered 45 profile tyres on because they were on the ghey BBS rims, rather than putting your good 50 section matched set of Toyos back on.

Stoopid is as stoopid does. 

Yeah and I do kinda regret it, but...I'll be selling the springs and shocks shortly and raising the car some more. The tyres I need to pop over in the next few weeks and collect them as I need to stick them on to refurbish the BBS' and I need to collect the haynes and a few other bits as well.
I need to sort out the paperwork with the scrapyard too to say that the car has been scrapped and send it off to the DVLA.

Oh and I'm going back to 50 profile, I'll be using the two rears on the other alloys and then getting two new ones to complete a set

That's all done already.

So what do I need to send the DVLA reporting it's been scrapped? Need to send them proof from a scrapyard don't I?

Nothing I have the certificate of destruction in my glovebox.

You can collect it when you get the other items you've left lying about in the barn.

OK, well I'll let you know when I'm popping over to collect the stuff.

New coilovers as the car was far too low.


Damage caused by road due to loweredness 


Dirty coolant bottle


Clean coolant bottle!


Rad off to remove rad thermo switch. It had to come out as it is a VR6 rad which has different locations for the outlets and switch, so the cowling had to be chopped away to fit it, but the switch was in a bad spot to get a spanner round it so the whole thing had to come out!


Waiting for a few parts to arrive so I can fabricate the return feed for the coolant bottle, and on Tuesday I'll be picking up a new coolant temp sensor.

Old exhaust out



new one in!



Much better now. Very quiet at normal speeds and when going gently on the gas but you get a nice sounds when giving it some
