Good luck though.

Air extraction, no

..haven't thought about that at all, not possible either due to the layout of my house.. bugger, will have to wait for the rain to stop so I can do it outside then.

lacquer is also quite nasty, when breathing the fumes

I suppose holding my breath while I paint 4 wheels is a little bit of a stretch too.. ffs. I need an empty garage.

Well today was my first day of uni, the amount of free jobby I brought home is mostly useless but it was free so whatever. Was also running late due to birthday morning shenanigans courtesy of the Mrs so had to drive in, abandoned the Lude on some grass next to double yellows. Lucky me only got a shitty note, no parking ticket so result!

I fitted the Federal RSR tyres on the Type-S.. Had them fitted and was driving out and OMG....

There was an alarming rubbing noise coming from the car..

Made me jobby my pants a bit and then noticed that the bumper tag was rubbing. Got home safely (slowly) and cut the bumper tabs off.

Gona go for a test drive tomorrow!
