bloody hell.

it worked tonight, and the drive to Portsmouth was immense. 40mpg and although aquaplaning was rather scary. it's just effortless. climate control, HID's, decent standard sound system and no droning exhaust.

all problems aside I'm rather loving it

Love these common as much but for a reason!

Just dont chuck loads of cash at basic mods the standard stuff is more than enough. Unless you got cash for some forced induction lol

so car went down Ren-tech today and had its cambelt, dephaser and aux belt done. ouch.

asked then just to have a quick look over it for me most bits I knew about but the list is

needs new tyres
new rear brake discs and wheel bearings ( come as a kit anyway)
no gearbox oil! so they put some in.
loose handbrake
tracking
front arch trims so nothing hits the aux belt by chance there £50 each though so will find second hand.
rear springs rusty £160 for two new ones.. or a full set of lowering for a £100 :-)
rear height sensor broken but doesn't really matter and I'm not paying £176 to fix it lol

so a few bits. new tyres will be in order next payday and then I'll start with the rest as and when.
needs a quick service as well soonish.

yeah :-) took it to a specialist as if it's done wrong then say goodbye to your engine. local garages always do it wrong.

battery and stop light are on now permanently it seems lol no idea why as its still drives fine lol

connections could need cleaning maybe?

Yeah I dunno, the joys of owning a French car, people aren't lying when they say they have electrical problems!

At least i've been able to drive it and its not gone into limp mode. Induction roar is lush, rumbles at low revs when you boot it, even Danny said its kinda like bodies

awesome chris not fancy taking it to an auto electrician when you have some spare dosh to get it sorted?

Mine as only ever gone into limp mode one, and that was due to my messing if the inlet.

_________________

Haven't had any problems with it recently, no limp mode anymore, battery light and doesn't really come on, popped on after a bit of a drive the other day showing my mate the drive of it, but goes away.

Had some time this morning and the weather was goodish, didn't look like it was going to rain so I washed it, not very happy with the results from the wax, I have had it since my ZS lol so 2 odd years so i'm going to order some Nattys wax and some poorboys black hole when I have some money.























What do you guys prefer? The windows seem to be tinted one side and not the other, I could either get one tinted or peel the other off, I kinda like tinted..











Plans for this are pretty simple.

4 new tyres
lowering springs
rear discs
6 CD changer
wiring for steering wheel controls
2nd hand bonnet etc (panels with key marks)
Graphite grey badges/bullets (might do them purple first for a laugh)
Refurb the wheels
Service

All in good time

I prefer both tinted mate.

Looks lovely though, with a good polish it'll look the mutts

Paul

I thought both was tinted? Might just be the angles you are looking at it

The wheels are growing on me slowly, but turini's would look sweeeeeeeet! Either dark or a light anthracite colour - think they come light coloured standard.

_________________

That second pic is what I want, already seen it if I can ever afford a set of a cheap set come up, i'll be having them for sure. Otherwise i'll make do with these and paint.

Nah one is, one isn't, for sure. lol i've scratched the window and you can feel the tint and the fact theres no tint

_________________

after a wash it come up pretty well chris

Looks awesome Chris! Just shows how cleaning a car can make it look 10x better! Just need to try and work on them scratches.
