MOT carried out, No issues, clean pass. And had lights adjusted as couldn't see past 5 feet. Turns out the bulb holder was loose, fixed free of charge :)

So big thumbs up for ST Andrews Steelers.  :happy2:

I replaced both rear, lower, spring seats and added an additional layer to the top seat, left rear, because the height has been uneven forever...and it has always bugged me ;) For the upper seat I cut out, of a 1/4" thick semi-truck's mudflap, a ring matching the base of the upper seat and placed it between the seat and the body...measures equally now at both sides...I know, I just had nothing else to do  :happy2:
Pictures of the all new stance coming soon to a Forum near you!   :popcornsoda:

Because...Springs instead of coils  :drinking:

raised the front H&R Ultralows in order to get an alignment from Kwik Fit today. i had been last week after raising 15mm from the height i had it set to for winter but had to raise it again as the tyre sensor they use would have ripped my wing off!

all fine now tho so tomorrow morning I'm putting it back where it was and seeing if i can adjust the rears a little too for winter.

Maybe at the weekend too after I've cleaned it, it might be treated to a machine polish and some Silo C1 seal from Gtechniq. some winter prep there!  :wink:

Well today was interesting and eye opening to say the least. Picked a wrong fight with a s2000, I was weary as it was very loud and modded and prayed he wasn't supercharged.... Long story short He was!  :signLOL: my ed30 running 315bhp was in no way shape or form a match for the 490bhp s2000. Had a good chat afterwards and got a good ride out in it too. Mentally quick, running 21psi on a tts jackson supercharger.Only saving grace was he said I did much better than most things that give him a go. Time to go stage 2+ and hope I never see him again lol :happy2:

Decided to have a play with the Plastidip cans i bought some time ago. Sorry the pictures are a bit dark.
This was my chrome front Grill, I removed the badge and let rip with the can.



Also decided to fit the front plate back on its mount for winter.
