Nothing's happening here so a bit of update. Not really much about the car but...

I can only share that for last year I had to change catalitic converter for MOT, then in past few weeks I have changed dizzy cap and rotor, HV leads and spark plugs, And car is still running well. Now I'm looking for full cambelt change and that's it. Oil/filters changes doesn't count - it is a must

Also I recently bought this beauty. Well not so beauty as my current one but for the price I've paid can't complain. No, not the big one. The one on the back


It's '97 VTiS so I have that ugly one in my collection as well No big plans for it ATM. Still SORN and waiting for it's time. Had shot coil but running now. For sure will keep it stock as I don't wanna spend extra money on it. Still need exhaust (new or repair) some good looking not OEM headlights (preferably black projectors/angel eyes) as tabs are shot, brakes all around and two tyres. But this may be done next year as we're short of money now and planning to go back home for Christmas.

A bit of appology to you guys as we said we will be attending National meet and the big meet and we failed. Again it was down to money. We recently become house owners - first time buyers. Finally NO MORE RENT but it drained our pockets to the bottom and this is my explanation. We weren't prepared to buy it and it was an impulse. My missus didn't had full time job so we didn't expect we'll be able to get mortgage. And now we are spending even more to bring this place to our standards.
It's 3 bed semi house. This is how it looks like

some storage which will be my new garage in the future

front garden

and rear garden before and after


Just from there we remowed 3 of them full of stuff


Inside the house one bedroom is transformed to bathroom, We are ready to put heating mats on the floor and tile it all around, changed all wirings upstairs, new ceilings, full loft insulation, new radiators and pipes, connection for underfloor heating for downstairs (but this will be done after floor insulation, also planning one big open space downstairs), LED lights all around, new combi boiler, and loads more. Still plenty of work left to do and loads of money have to go in it but it's ours and were extremaly happy. Don't have pics from work inside but when it will be finished I will share them.

So this is where my monies goes. Thanks to this my turbo built is stopped for now, can't put blue one on the road, and have to wait for couple more things, but hey first things first. And there will be time for the rest

Nice one on the update Mario and well done on buying somewhere.
Fast work on the house - do feel free to come and pitch on finishing some of the things on mine that I've been 'on strike' over finishing for the last 5 years!!!

Nice work Mario, though I can't believe you have the cat on a leash!

[wurlycorner]

I wondered if I was seeing that right or not, too!

[K30DPC]

Thanks guys. Cat had to be on a leash otherwise it would go and never come back. They stiching to places not people so probably it would try to go back to our old place. Now he's allright and we let him go out without leash

Ready for MOT



And passed. Advisory on rear brakes but I'm not suprised. It stud for over 2 months in my front garden so discs get a bit rusty. Will clean and regrease calipers soon as well just to make sure they're all right
