Well, Ive driven the R32 2 nights this week. The first night it got vandalised, and tonight I hit a stupid animal and snapped the drivers side mount on my front bumper, so its sticking out from the guard :blush:

anyway, Wayne, here is my old daily. 1989 Mazda 626.

If you missed the intercooler hiding behind the front bumper, and the 95db exhaust, you'd also miss that it had more power than some of the Skylines on this forum :P . Shoulda kept it, would have made an awesome track hack

I notice that car has a Black & White Cat.

Sooo glad its friday! bin a busy week! tires are going on tomorrow so wheels will be back on :D

i hear that lewis......we had the network down for the last 2 weeks....been so damn frustrating lol

seems my friday is going extra slow today. Alot of driving, and not enough work. Trying to find a present for my 2yo Niece, organise a car trailer to move the drift car tomorrow, and organise some new private health insurance.

is it beer o'clock yet?

Sooooooooooooo how is everyones Friday?

Crap and Boring...Slow also, hardly any customers, there is only so many times you can walk round the store looking for things to do, luckily we have a PC with a TV Tuner in it, so i am watching the Olympics.

Does anyone know when the Drifting is on? As last week, i swear i saw some on around 4pm, just cant remember which day it was or what channel - Hardly watch TV, mostly download episode off the net.

^ we used to go to the dog and duck for beers straight after work - i still pop in every now and then for a pint. Theyve got a good selection of beers Wouldnt bother hanging there any later than 8pm though

Richmond upstairs Friday after work sessions ftw!

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
