What have you done to your car today?

[parabolica]

Pulled it out of storage for the first time in a year, disconnected the battery conditioner and it started on the button. Done around 200 miles in it since Thursday and now has its front bumper off and stripped ready to go for a respray in a few weeks time. Got it up on the quick jacks at the mo so underneath inspection this afternoon then back into storage tonight before I go back overseas tomorrow.

Took my offside rear wheel off for inspection as I'm occasionally getting a quite womp, womp sound from it since having the rear tyres replaced. Tyre seems okay, might be the handbrake pads catching sometimes as the drum seemed a little tight. Used the opportunity to clean off the old sticky stuff from the old weights and clean the inside of the wheel. Took it for a drive but sound not there :roll:

After a front suspension change and two roof motors this week, today was going to be a rest day!
Ha-bloody-ha!
Vall's E85 had other ideas! Last night it lit up the airbag light: centre SIM85 module fault. Happened to have a spare (as you do), so two hours later, new module fitted and coded in, centre console rebuilt and no more annoying red light.

So much for rest!
Another roof motor move arriving tomorrow.

Coupe had a new valve cover gasket and sparks… a very pleasing job although a little more involved than the m54.

Another job off the list

Finally finished fitting Geoff Steel carbon roof .

Very cool! How would you rate the finish? Heard the clear coat isn’t always briliant?

Heard the clear coat isn’t always briliant?

Hi Barty .
No its not a showroom finish like the diffuser but then it is a decent price for what it is . I don`t think they are clear coated just epoxy gelcoat . If you wanted a decent finish you would need to wet sand / clear /sand /clear and so on . The weave is also quite wavey and there are some bubbles. To me it does the job and is sold as a race part so is acceptable especially from 6 foot away

The cable in my nearside window regulator finally succumbed to corrosion and snapped yesterday. It was the original and almost 21 years old ! Managed to source a new complete regulator locally (not a cable repair kit) and fitted it this evening. Quite a straightforward job if a little bit fiddly. All greased up, adjusted and working very smoothly and quietly now. It's so smooth that when I get chance I'll strip the offside door down and inspect the regulator with a view to cleaning/greasing or replacing that side

I cleaned up after my cat.

I had the bonnet up... witnessed my cat leap from the wall into the engine bay... he had a quick sniff and look around and then pissed all over the N52 goodness.

Marking his territory, that's his car now

Perhaps he is hinting that you should get a big cat E type
