New update, recently been having some strange problems with the car.. around last week i had my instrument dials out for a bit of painting on the plastics, when putting them back in the temp gauge needle is basically not working.. it rests basically where it does when the car is parked!

Then i found it funny that the next morning the car failed to start and flooded so we did the ECU trick and got it to start, also 4th cylinder is only reading about 6 and a quarter as apposed to 10/12 that im getting through the rest, just wondering if i had tripped something fatal somewhere??

Also i have a really annoying ''wind'' like loose noise coming from under the car.. heat shield?? exhaust rubber/bush????

:) thats all for now

..oh and it also needs a damn good clean

What's wrong Doug?

I dunno mate tbh, in a nutshell its not ''boring'' me, im just tired of its setup.. the suspention is gash (especially on the back) it looks as dull as a weatherd peice of brick, the engines bumping and jumping and all that crap constantly..

Maybe its telling me i just need a different setup/route to go down on a new shell

I think ive just got over the ''low and slow'' factor or am slowly but surely..

Here are some mint examples of what id love/have in mind:

It's easily done.

right wheels, some harnesses and striped interior

What the man right here said!

I' haven't exactly spent a fortune on my car and it's already track-day spec. Only issue is I've got the euro look going on at the same time... stretchuuu tyres will see my laughed out of any decent track day :p

Recently had my car half sort of mopped and it looks a lot nicer.

It matches with the theme ive got going on now a lot better :)

Today i sorted some much needed surface rust because of the snow/winter

This was it before i had a go..

(i had had a new sill a good while ago and only just got round to painting it again)

Started masking it all up and got hold of some primer (i used gray in the end for the first bit as that was all i had but then went to get some white primer)

They both turned out way better than they were before, so hopefully this should protect it for a good while! :D

Lastly i did a bit of degreasing in and around the engine bay

OK then!

Give me some ideas people..

As a few of you know recently ive gave up my high on 15s sort of idea, and ideally want to go lower when ive got my minilites sorted etc,

But the main idea of this post is to start the new Panda theme! As my car is white and i only really like the 2 black and white contrasts, i need some ideas..

Getting some stickers made up soon but just a couple of subtle ones, just wanna know what you all think would look cool etc :)
