Also on this weekends mincing list was off upto Lee H's house to carry on wiring the new engine in his MR2, this wasnt much fun at -5 degrees but we got it all done and sorted quite a lot of little bits and pieces on the car!
Also i ordered two inner cv's, two bottom ball joints and two track rod ends from the local motorfactors so they were on the list of things to do!

Sorry about the rubbish i phone pic quality!
All done and built up, first time round i fitted the shaft into the inner cv and forgot to put any cv grease in there :wtf: So after arsing around for another half an hour with the stupid sh***y circlip i got the shaft back out and put the cv grease in, job job :thumb:
The only thing i'm not happy with is the fact that i've used cable ties on the outer cv and they have gone up really tight but i dont know whether they might still leak cv grease everywere! What does everyone else use for this? I was thinking jubilees but apparently they are an MOT fail?
Thats it for now, more pics to follow in the new year of coilovers all fitted hopefully :cool:
