    Meet Darlene.

    Had some time today to get some more stuff done. Fitted the lower brace, did an oil and filter change, did some tracking and managed to get the steering wheel straight again, tried out the M10 camber adjustment, which seems to be ok. Got a bit more camber now but I'm hoping that brace doesn't...

    Meet Darlene.

    It was a proud day for me and Darlene... I got the springs on the struts (finally) and got home at 0300 after night shift and put them in. I am so happy with the result, car handles and looks better. Im excited to put the lower braces on after i paint them. I'm hoping for a good result with that.

    Meet Darlene.

    Night shift at work so I made a strut brace, lower front brace, and I made this rear upper brace a while ago, haven't fitted it yet, will repaint them with something more durable than the cold galv. I really like the hammer finish paint for these braces so will probably get some more of that...

    Meet Darlene.

    Wasn't planning on it but I swapped the old wheels for a 12" sub on friday. I must be living my teenage dream. Tried putting the matiz springs on the front yesterday, I was all primed up to get it done, but the top front strut nuts are stubborn and proving to be a pain. Moved to the rear and had...

    Meet Darlene.

    Ok so today after work I had a few hours and managed to clean and (very briefly) polish and was Darlene. I'll just say I am surprised how shiny she came up. I also polished the headlights and repositioned the front number plate.... no one will notice but I didn't like how it sat previously. Also...

    Parcel tray rattle fix (no.lol method).

    Ok so my parcel tray was rattling unbearably. Checked it out, and one of the plastic lugs had fallen off. This is a ghetto fix but it is totally free.... 1. Get a pen that fits both ends, inside the tray tube and will clip on to the fastening. 2. Snap off the pen clip. 3. Insert pen into parcel...

    Meet Darlene.

    Ok so about 4 months I was going through a roundabout and got taken out on the passengers side, the Vitz RS didn't make it through leaving me carless (not careless, I was already careless prior to the crash). Anyhow, enter Darlene the 1000cc, 5 speed man, green, (and blue blended?) nugget K11...
