SR so far...........

[Lee]

Just an update on the SR me and the mrs bought from Stupot a month or so ago.

So far since buying it ive...

Fitted 256mm grooved discs and ATE callipers
Refurbed the rear brakes
Fitted a new master cylinder and changed all the fluid for Dot5.1 :cool: (pedal going to the floor at 70mph is NOT funny i can tell you!!)
Replaced the coilovers at the front for a 60mm gas strut kit (ride was far too hard lol)
Swapped the silver grill for a breeze blue one (Top man Chunny)
Replaced the head gasket
Replaced the water pump
Given it a full fluids service with new plugs, dizzy and rotor
Fitted a stealth parcel shelf

And today I met up with Novasuspicious and swapped the speedlines for a set of MO's and next to new rubber! Top geeza! She told me she didnt want white wheels, but i ignored her and did the swap anyway. She loves how it looks now. One day she'll understand that i do have a little bit of a clue :roll:

So unfortunately she made me wash it! But it came out lovely so i took some pics!

It still needs the camber sorting out on the passenger side, the struts arnt adjustable but its running uber positive camber for some reason. Nothing a bit of hole elongating wont fix . I also need to look at the backbox which is pointing at an odd angle. Might get it cut and re-welded.

I got so carried away washing the car i did the van as well. First wash its had of the year!

Do you still need a horn push?

[Lee]

If youve got one with a blue ring, yes :D

Eventually id like to stick a leather cav wheel on it, but she wont let me at the moment. That'll be yet another thing where she'll suddeny realise how much better it feels after ive done it without her permission :roll:

[Geth]

Did you manage to find what was causing that knocking sound after the GF whacked it against that kerb?

[Lee]

Just a worn top mount i think, seeing as the suspension swap cured it. She was lucky she hit it square on, or i could have had a bent wheel / bent chassis lol
