Yeah Pleased with the figures but obviously still not completely satisfied 8) Stage 2 Cams will follow later this year

I'm doing a few tidy up jobs at the moment to get it looking a little cleaner because if I’m honest it has been neglected lately on the cleaning front.
There are a few stone chips that need touching up and I’m looking to get the wheels refurbished next month and the callipers painted too.

Made a few changes to the car last night

JDM Coin Holder

Tegiwa Rear Strut Brace
Image

New Battery Tie Fitting Kit (My old one fell apart on a recent run)
Image

Fitted
Image

Ferodo DS2500 brake pads :)
Image

Engine Bay - This is how she looks at the moment, not that pleased with its current state but a freshly painted rocker cover and colour coding will soon put that right

Here are a few pics from the Subaru Impreza run I went on last Sunday 8) there are a few tunnels videos below too

I have got these on order at the moment, just awaiting delivery

Spoon N1 Bung - should make it more bearable for everyday driving, particularly for long distance trips

Not on this occasion but I did use it a few weeks back and was really pleased with the results, when combined with the blackhole glaze it looks stunning.
The thing I like about the dodo wax the most it how easy it is to apply when compared to other waxes, I wont use the Collinite stuff again now just the Dodo 8)

Yeah its really good stuff, still have a sample pot of there supernatural which is just as good.

I'd keep the collinite, perfect for wheels and also for the horrible winters we get, get easily 6 months protection, dodo would be closer to 3.

Yeah i'm already dreading the winter to be honest, the Civic got a battering from the Gritters earlier this year so I’m hoping to buy my dad's Polo TDI off him in the next few months so I can have a cheap run around which is good on fuel, that will allow me to just use the Civic sparingly in the Winter.
I use the Poorboys wheel sealant at the moment for the alloys but I might try the Collinite next :) love the Dodo wax though, smells nice too.

Nice one Mandy :) glad to hear it's going well

It's always flown threw MOT's :D the only fail in the service history is when some garage in South Wales failed it for "Insufficient Windscreen washer fluid" lol what a joke!
The weather is supposed to get better next week but I’m not holding my hopes up, it’s probably been the worst "Summer" since 2007 when it rained continuously too :x
