got the winter tyres on route ready for the coming months, these will then be taken off around march/april to be replaced with uniroyal rainsport 3s 
iv also fitted a new pair of bosch 21" aero wipers as the old ones were coming to the end of there life, much better now. whilst i was at it i fitted the new numberplates with new screws and caps which has really made a nice difference as the old ones were tatty with rusted screws/missing caps etc, i could only remove one screw with a screwdriver the other 3 had rusted up completely but they were removed none the less.
my supersprint manifold/lowering springs and vt engine/gearbox mount should be here next thursday

Finally going to sort the reverse light switch today and also getting the winter tyres fitted on the front. Got a brand new pair of uniroyal rainsport 3s en route for the back wheels also fingers crossed they arrive early today so i can get them fitted at same time.

this kit will lower the car 40mm which should give it a much better stance and not compromise usability/practicality

well as always plans dont always come to light
last saturday some kind person decided to kick the drivers side mirror off the car whilst my wife was at work in it, so i ordered a replacement unit off ebay and was promised it would be here tuesday, it finally turned up last night so i was straight out to fit it in the pitch black took me all of about 15 mins :), out of interest i had the wife ring a couple of local garages see what they would charge £55-70 ouch crazy prices.
so the billet pulley and manifold has been put on hold until new year now and who knows i might even have the billet flywheel to go with them as well
