Hm, £20 for a 4 wheel aligment and shes good! Compare that to what must amount to £100's spent on "full 4WS alignment" at another garage that never noticed the control arm was bent :roll:

So, she feels MUCH better now, only been down the road so I'll see how it goes on the way home.

Noticed the rust on the drivers side arch is getting very, very bad :(

Yes! Radiator has arrived, and its the PERFECT fit! Fans, cap, everything. Also got the package of Royal Purple and my new oil filter.

So now I need to:
- Fit the new radiator
- Change the oil

And soon hopefully I'll have the new CarPC screen. Cars going in on Wednesday to have a crunching/clicking looked at when steering at low speed (as in, parking, doesnt happen when driving).

Coming together :) Forgetting about the re-spray, just going to get her in good condition before I get the paintwork done! So I need to get the rust done next :(

Might fit the old 17 inch wheels when I get a chance... I'll take pics once I've done the radiator and oil, I'll see what the weather is like over the weekend :mrgreen:

Woop :D Touchscreen has arrived!

So, list of things to do:
- Fit new touchscreen
- Re-wire amp/pc wiring down center of car
- Fit heated seat elements
- Replace oil
- Replace radiator
- Fit exhaust manifold heat wrap
- Replace passenger side driveshaft (lots of play on inner joint :()
- Replace passenger side front lower control arm bush at the subframe (ordered)
- Get new mats (Indigolemon ;) No, thats not the colour :lol:)
- Re-wire VTEC lights (disconnected at the moment)

Theres other things like rust and dents which although very very important, I can't afford right now :lol:

Hopefully doing the touchscreen/radiator/oil this weekend, if the weather holds out.
