Dunno what getting mostly.

I'll be lucky to get somethin' from the mrs cos we're both a bit broke atm, but she knows I'd be sad if she didn't get me something (she knows I don't expect anything stupid or pricey, just something personalize, and thought put in to it - I don't care if she made it with her bare hands, or she turns up to my place in a big red bow).

However from parents and grandparents usually get a little cash, which always goes far, and exactly where I need to apply it.

f**k!! you just reminded me that I received 2 cards with cash in them at family christmas on the weekend, and stashed them inside a bag that my GF received as a present. I'd have forgotten about this money completely!! At least until the bag was opened and the cards taken out lol...

Thanks ;)

You left out tools! I'm getting a trolley jack.

Aside from that Pete and I are just buying each other something small this year. I just bought brakes and fuel pumps for the car so I have nothing to complain about.

I am looking forward to dishing out the mountain of pressies out under my tree to my friends and fam though :D

I asked for a set top box as I'm sick of not getting the F1 at the same time as everyone else, but I think I was too late :(

So from the family I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting wine/champers, girly stuff like body lotion etc, maybe some cash or gift cards. I like all that stuff though :)

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
