Still waiting for my mud flap fixing bolts from ProBolt, bl**dy snail mail. Have to be next week now. Edited ( should have checked my email, they informed me on Monday they were out of stock of one set of parts )

Bob :cry::cry: :cry:

Just stuck the Carbon Cycle Wing to the big head fixing bolt things, then just need to fibre glass them on properly after that

I've sent my car to SteveD for chassis work. Does it count ?

Finally got my mud flaps on today now that the bl**dy decorating is sort of done :no: . Well more for flicked up stones and debris than mud/rain. Now to find out about the NW semi final Liverpool/Everton then watch the Grand Prix and Grand National busy day planned.

Next job to find my ECU shift light wire and wire in a cut out indicator, just in case I get towards max revs hee :d hee :d . These cars drive you mental, back to a daft teenager sometimes ( no disrespect meant or intended to teenagers )

Feel like a beer already mmmmmm

Bob :yes::d:yes:

Tom, You need to upgrade your garage walls with some paint, stops all the dust settling on the car.

Got a new silencer fitted at last. It is a 6 inch one and only 14 inch long all welded on a 2.25inch stainless tube.

Cruising along its quieter than the standard Westfield one, but at higher revs its a lot noisier. Had a late night dash up the motorway last night which confirmed this. It looks the business though and has a lovely deep burble to it on the over run. Had the silencer for a while and £60 got all the welding and pipe work done. Really chuffed.

Not wasting money on paint, when it can be sent on the car....... :laugh:

Plus we have 2 dogs, so in my garage you get dust, dog hair and stuff the wife dumps in there :laugh: :laugh:
