Work this morning then a drive up to Bude and spent the afternoon surfing in the Cornish sunshine.

Gorgeous day for a wash and wax





Paul

Hard top's lookin good there Paul Saw several in the flesh on Sunday, I'm starting to like them.

 

[AlfaScozzesi]

It'll be a coupe next Marlon!

 

[Paulj100]

I'm a big fan of the hardtop, some say it's a bit quirky but it transform the looks of the roadster and matches nicely with the Aero kit. Coupe and roadster in one!

ha, they are beautifully designed but I'm too addicted to open top motoring.

Absolutely stunning Paul.

I spent my day in work 10:30am-10:30pm. Why oh why did I agree to do a 12 hour shift on a beautiful autumn day?

That looks ace!

 

[Mr Tidy]

Not exactly strenuous but I put some GummiPflege on the door seals so hopefully the windows won't stick to them when it starts getting colder - oops, it was yesterday now if that makes sense!

Yesterday I had my new Uniroyals tyres fitted to the rear, what absolute pigs the old run flats are to get off, the poor guy at my local garage had a right job getting the beads to break away.
Today I changed the oil and filter, I just love this car, the little access cover for the oil drain plug, nice clean removal of the oil filter...sweet
I used Shell helix ultra professional 5w30, the old oil looked quite dirty.
I jacked the front up then sat the wheels on ramps then let the oil drain to a tiny trickle, I then lowered the drivers side on the jack, there was quite an increase in the flow of old oil. I do like to get as much of the old stuff out as possible, I bet most garages don't do that.

Good tip. You are right, it is a really easy car to oil service.

Today I did... not enough! Roll on tomorrow...

Changed all the springs, dampers, top mounts, drop links and anti roll bar on my Fabia VRS.

Having to drop the front subframe 4 inches to get the ARB out is a bit of a pain!

 

[spic]

Pulled out the wiper motor today to try and sort out the annoying problem of the wipers stopping higher than they should, cleaned up the motor inside and out then gave the bulkhead area a good vacuum and clean before resembling, problem solved. Had a blueberry muffin to celebrate

 

[jakblade]

Surprise when I got home from work. Parcel waiting for me. So I unwrapped it and found these......

 

[Steve84N]

What are they?

 

[Mister T]

What are they?

They look like adjustable rear camber arms

 

[Steve84N]

What are you planning on doing with rear camber arms?

In my opinion the car already has enough cornering grip at the rear and more rear camber will decrease traction plus increase awkward tyre wear. Is it going to be tracked a lot?

It would appear that the NSR camber arm on my Z has suffered from some twottage in its life. Had 4 wheel alignment done and they couldn't get the camber in and under closer inspection the arm has slight damage. So at £45 thought I'd replace both with these. They are well chunky and look well made.
