What have you done to your 8V today?

[pburv]

Well, not so much what I did but what the wife did - she ordered 4 of the Raywell S3 logo puddle lights for the car without telling me (and a CF key cover).

Most impressed with her initiative

Watch it! She's after something..?

 

[batch]

Really want one of those key covers - gorgeous!

Not sure I'll use it TBH

I've got one of those cheap silicon covers and it is colour matched to Sepang.

Never really liked CF.

Oh well.

Worth it was in two minds as I thought it was going to look a bit tacky but now that I've put it on, it definitely doesn't!

Nice...
Do you find it awkward carrying the car around with you??..

 

[SJ43]

Brought another few goodies too lately..
-Eibach Sportline spring kit
-15mm spacers all round
-Longer bolts
-Revo air panel filter, which is the only thing fitted so far and makes some great intake noises in combination with the intake mod!

Need to get the springs and spacers fitted now!

AWESOME !!

Also consider replacing front top mounts and bearings when the springs are fitted they dismantle it to that level anyway so that the bearings come away with the springs then it's a few bolts to undo the top mounts. Part cost isn't too bad. May save any clunks/squeaks later.

 

[SJ43]

Good point, as the springs are off it seems like a good time to do them, Cheers. Are you still getting any clunking/creaking with your new top mounts? I recall you mentioned the lower control arm bushes could also be a possible culprit?

Yeah new top mounts/bearings sorted the front end clunk out but there's still a very minor eek from the lower bushes that I'll get round to at some point - got another little project on at the mo ;o)

Got a slow puncture...loosing 6psi over 15 miles of steady driving.........grrrrrr

Hopefully is only a leaky valve but could do without a trip to the local tyre fitters to have them take a look .....grrrrrr

Goodyear F1's minted but they may be able to repair the puncture mate,l had a puncture repaired on my RCZ....no problems at all but then again tyres for them at the time where £265 a corner hence l went for the £20 repair plus the car was only 2weeks old tyres brand new

 

[WarwickL]

Agree about repair if it's in the tread. Can't repair if it's sidewall. Had one done on my R and it lasted 40,000km until I sold it

Covered the front end in fly splat whilst having a play along some A roads.

Not wash weekend this time round but might have to do something to the front end at least. Was planning my little interior project but still waiting on some parts ......
