Hey all,

Its service time! Gone for Millers CFS Nanodrive 5w40 and a genuine Hamp oil filter. So now time to get that on and in it! Anyway, here's a wee pic in the meantime...

Hi jack any idea on the optional fog lights where I can buy these from? And can I fit them myself or would it need to be done by garage thanks haz
 
Hi! I have no idea where you would get them as they were there when i bought the car... I'm assuming they are factory? I would imagine you could fit yourself... its wired to a button on the panel where you adjust wing mirrors!

I havent looked into this but would think it would be a different wiring loom so it would have to be wired into it and would have thought that to be a big job but if I'm wrong Id be pleased to learn
 
Well, i got round to doing the service yesterday evening, Millers Nanodrive is in and the Hamp Oil filter too! All very easy to do, oil filters a tad awkward in its placement, and the sump bolt took a bit of force to get free! But that will do it for another while anyway! :)

Been a while since I've posted on here! Not much has changed! Couple of weeks ago i spent the day with some Auto Finesse products and a buffer going round the whole car. Smashing job it turned out to be! Here's a couple of snaps for you all....

So its been well over a year since i have purchased anything for the car. I have pondered over getting a catback for some time, but was just concerned about getting the correct one. I wanted something not too loud, wouldn't really know it was there when normal driving and a small tip!
Seemed like the Tegiwa Catback was a good bet after searching about for a while! Anyway took the plunge and ordered!
Here it is when it arrived:

Ive managed to get the catback on! A bit of a run down on it:


Fit and finish: excellent! Looks a real good and sturdy made exhaust. Size of the tailpipe is perfect, its there but its not a drain pipe!
Performance: The piping is much bigger than the standard system, just looks like a good flowing system. The car overall does go better for it, it feels like its really flowing well!
Sound: It makes most of its noise on the initial start up rev and when pulling away from junctions. When the cars idling you wouldn't know it is there inside, outside yeah you can tell its a little deeper but it is definitely not barking at you. When you are cruising along, you literally wouldn't know it was there, 40 -70mph its not there. When you step on it you can't hear it, its right what i expected. Makes a lovely noise, refined and throaty, not raspy, and it makes glorious little crackles and pops when in vtec changing gear!


If anyone has any questions, fire away and ill try answer them for you! Ill leave you all with some pics!

Hi guys,


So the only thing left on the car which needed tending was the haziness on the headlights that these cars are soo famous for. It was tackled with a DA Polisher and Chemical Guys V34, V36 and V38! It did a fabulous job and they came up really good! No sanding was done!


The right headlight has been done and the left has not.

Pretty pleased now, the car inside and out is pretty darn immaculate!
