What did you do to your car today?

[Al]

Topped up the oil in the RX-8.

Put Corolla rego on hold and decided to part with it....

[loudstealthGT-Four]

Took the Mini out to Teretonga for a skid. Managed a 4th overall in the sealed autocross/sprint (on road tyres), would be good to have a set of semi slicks for it.

Yip an LSD wouldn't go amiss either

Installed some spherical shifter cable bearings and bolted the shifter itself directly to the floor:

Found out how shitty Achilles tyres are in the wet.

[1I1]

Found out how shitty Achilles tyres are in the wet.

Which tyre? I had an expected D1 drive when driving on some old Achillies 123 in the rain at Manfeild once.

[duddley]

I think they are 123's. Wasn't even going quick and the commy thought it was a D1 taxi.

[2jayzgte]

Drove it and then found this online.

Haha nice. I would've taken a pic too. Speaking of which, my GF saw two black Supras on the way home from work the other day.

After thinking about it I went to Bunnings in Lyall Bay and found a bunch of netball girls who were fundraising so let them wash it while me and GF were looking at shower cubicles.

Spun the Stagea on a roundabout, yes, Achilles in the wet. Don't know how I missed everything.

[duddley]

They may be ATR's actually, it was a roundabout that caught me out and put me sideways. I have F1 D5 eagles on my subbie and they are 100 times better.

[MR2SIK]

Drove it!!



Ever so briefly to work, then to workshop to get brakes overhauled and hopefully woffed & rego'd

[Boosted_162]

Thought that since I had a spare afternoon after work and a garage, that i'd finally get around to sorting my front suspension. What fun that was

So pulled coilovers out, disassembled them and swapped the front springs. New ones are 65mm Swift springs, 14kg and 200mm free length. Then reinstalled with new SPC camber arms. Measured everything but height still came out wrong sitting too high so will see if it settles otherwise will adjust again. But so far it rides sooooo much nicer. No bottoming out, turns in nicer and smoother too even tho they are 4kg heavier.

Coupla days old... but on Friday I got the most expensive piece of tin plate I've ever bought...
