Looks good, not sure I like your rear lights though if totally honest but who cares when you got a 24v in there

Otherwise.. I'm saving for some new wheels for next season & treating her to some new plates and some hid's as my lights are crap. :lol:

So, as some may know I smashed my sump and the car was off the road over Christmas, so John's made me a temporary sump guard, he's gonna make a better one when he's sorted his touring so it'll be fun seeing how long this lasts.

Image

Finally got my borblets back on now, John started cleaning them up to find out after a bit of T-Cut they were gun metal grey underneath, so off comes the black.

Front tints are darker..

& An M-Tech 2 Steering Wheel. :D

Well we changed the injectors and she worked on 6 cyl's for about half hour and then went back to the misfire. So we're gonna try and clear the ecu fault code that we originally had, otherwise it looks like I have an electrical fault. We also need to sort my headlights, as we sorted the relay and even with the new ones, they are still shit tbh. :(

On another note, my 9js are now off again as we hit a rock on Friday night and it bent the inside of one of my 9j's so John's going to try and straighten it back, so Sparky's rolling on black 14's. Sketchy to say the least. Other than that, I don't really have any updates but we did get a couple of pics of the cars on Saturday.

Dan (Matt Black) Panda (John's (Knuckledragger) Touring) And my Sparky (Mine).

Hopefully mine'll be sorted by Fast Show or at least May as we're taking mine to Devon.

Have you checked the small round connector under the manifold where the engine loom connects to the main loom? It's common that water gets trapped in it and corrodes the contacts.
Get on to bothering the council about your bobet, get your mate to fix it then invoice you and they'll refund it after investigating the pothole... does drag on though ;\

Good luck getting the fast show.. not so far away now!

Currently rolling on Steelies.com :lol:
Sorry for the crap pics. :P

Couple of pics from the UK Stanceworks meet.

A Few more I've found from the Stanceworks UK Meet, even though the only look she has atm is Streeto. :lol:

She looks straight as fuck here but she's not, someone keeps denting her at work I think. <_<

I'm now down to 4 / 6 injectors and John's touring is still being wank.

Thanks Rancido. The borbets are for sale now though.

A splitter'll be fixed on eventually. My engine problems are more important. :D

Possibly something 9j round, not saying what yet incase my borbets don't sell.

If the above falls through, then I might be buying my partners borbets. :)

I'll clean her this week sometime when I'm not so skint :lol:

Borbets are sold and I'm now buying John's, but they will be getting a respray or may just leave them white.

Not sure what to do, but it'll either be Black or white.
