What have you done to your car today......

[sonnylad]

Finally fitted the revised air intake as was not keen on engine and air filter to body almost being as one with basicly no movement.

[Jhonno]

Replumbed the washer jets, refitted the cats, MOT'd it, refitted the decats..

Took the car to Rockingham and enjoyed the perfect weather. Got accused of being a Nutter by the guy behind me after I tested the Cerb's off road capabilities in an impromptu fashion.

Shake down for DN11 complete!

Got the gearbox back in what a pig when on axles stands although my hydraulic ramps helped getting it up to the right height.

Would have been easier with another person pressing on the clutch but nothing some pipe couldn't solve

Unfortunately didn't get as far as i wanted as i ran out of nuts.

(Fri & Sat)Temporary fitted bellhousing, starter, gearbox. Temporary fitted ACT manifolds to check for clearance issues on drivers side. Took off box & manifolds, packed them off to Zircotec for ceramic coating. Trial fitting helped sort the best method of fitting too.
(Then I can refit the exhaust, water rails and start her up to proof test the crank seal before the clutch goes in.)

Fitted a new yellow top battery and cleaned the engine bay.


Gave her a well needed wash.


And fitted some LED strips to improve instrument lighting.

I found this very useful when dealing with gearboxes:

Nice Cerb! Take it you are doing a write up for the LED's....? Looks smart!

Can you share which LEDs you bought and how easy they were to fit please. My dial lights are terrible so this is a job I need to do.

Many thanks

Looks like it is far less rigid now. You happy with it?

Finally getting around to fitting those lenses this weekend.....

Yes very happy, it was just so wrong the way it was. Imagine an engine mount or maybe gearbox mounting going, the extra strain could have possibly damaged the airbox or worse the front scuttle area it's mounted too.

Definitely one of the best looking cars I've ever seen

[FUBAR]

What have I done to my car today you ask? Well, for the first time since October I only went a bloody drove it!

Woo and indeed, hoo!

[gruffalo]

This evening I have installed a Vbox and stuffed a few tyres and clothes in the old girl at 6 tomorrow morning we head to Spa for two days of what she enjoys most.............a damn good thrashing:-)

Exactly this yesterday. Passed, taxed and ready for the roads

[ukkid35]

Freed up and greased front and rear camber adjusters, I doubt they've moved this century! Sadly the rear toe are completely seized, but I'm hoping it won't need adjusting, it didn't last time fortunately. Now at the alignment shop.

Had a brand new hydratrack diff and SP12's fitted.

Windscreen wipers have not worked since buying the car, wash/wipe works ok and has got me by for the time being.

Finally took the plunge to get the multi-meter out.

Took the steering wheel off and the lower panel to check the ribbon cable. Broke the wire for the wash/wipe connector on the top of the steering wheel boss. Trip to Maplins for some PCB terminal strips (code YW25C) and fix the connector. Replace everything to check it works again.

Made a cup of tea and ate half a packet of ginger nuts feeling thoroughly dejected that I'm back where I started from.

Mine had similar symptoms, no wipers except on wash wipe, and wouldn't stop in the right place. A park switch sorted it - pain to fit though.
