Washed RX-8. Changed steering wheel on Corolla to my smaller Momo Corse wheel.

Anyone want a Momo Type D36? Image

Swapped it for a Civic....

Well I actually parked it in my mums garage and stole her civic while she cant drive :lol: Slow as $&#$% but damn it's good on gas! Gotta get it a wheel alignment among other things.

Put it back together! And no spare bits this time! Taken a few months with a buggered shoulder, stripping studs and then snapping them, all just to change a gasket.

Just sold it for $2000. Now I get an even bigger grin on my face when I drive it.

Oh Brad remember I mentioned how my passenger mirror in the BMW stopped moving down in reverse, well I noticed the reverse lights didn't work either so I checked the fuses and no.12 was blown. BMW being awesome list all the items that "consume" on each circuit. Turns out that circuit 12 is also shared with the heated washer nozzles which I know are $&#$% as I had them out.

Unplugged them and replaced fuse, have reverse lights and mirror tilt again :lol: Crazy Germans

All I need to do to get my exhaust on is to flip the entire catback upside down, cut the tips off, swap them, weld back on, cut the hangers off and weld the right way up, then cut the 20v Y pipe to length and weld.

In the meantime, DUCT TAPE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2td0L3FAyA

Note: This was just a test ;) Also the duct tape melted through near the end and it started to sound like a tractor.
TVIS just kicked in, yo!

Yup there was a red SW20 out there.

The driver's name escapes me at the moment, due to brain cells cooked from the heat yesterday

I know who it was, just wondered if anyone else had a go. There was meant to be an MR2 club run out to the event but may be it didn't go ahead. I would have liked to go but due to wedding costs, an engine that burns silly amounts of oil and not having a club license it didn't work out. I have already done a few events so need a license to do anymore now.

Looks like a great venue for most cars. Nice video.

Finally went for cert check. Mostly went well other than he isn't happy with the front camber arms which is annoying. Will have to find an alternative, then align and get cert!
