WDIDT?
Cleaned her quickly then took some photos. My favorite one:
alloys next? id sat get a new exhaust first though, i dont like those droopy kinda backboxes... Lows look good though
bout the same as mine on the back but front is lower 
Did my tyre pressures as my front drivers was looking real bad. It was down at 13 psi. No idea if its a puncture or just the cold getting too it. My other tyres had all dropped by about 4 psi too! Crazy stuff. Anyone else having trouble with tyre pressure in the cold?
Not so much tyre pressures but does the cold affect suspension? For example does shock oil thicken with the cold or rubber bushes get harder? My car feels harsher in the cold weather, seems noisier too, creaking and squeaking.

Do a leak test Harlen, bottle of washing up liquid with water, and put solution on both sides of the bead and the walls and tread of the tyre. You will see bubbles forming where there's a puncture etc....

Mine was leaking for months, sometimes about 4psi per day!
Tyre weld is cheap and will probably do the trick.
Wdid?

Fitted my new steering wheel with a different boss to what most people use.
NRG short hub for Nissan R33
and fitted to the car...
The horn also works but I need a spacer as the spline hits the horn and wont fit to the hub, so I'm without a horn for now...
Since I've change the stock wheels to the deep dish, I had this huge wobble in the steering wheel that was fixed with a spigot ring and turned the wobble into a slight wobble however, putting this steering wheel has removed the wobble, which to me does not make sense. Surely its coming from the wheels so I should have it with no matter what type of steering wheel I got?
But I think it looks awesome, different and feels great. Also did a little sticker bombing to the center to match the rest of the inside

type 41 pre-face 1.0 mate, should be the same eh, from the white car that i thought was noisy (turned out to be the gearchange rod touching the body )
i cut the spline off for a clutch aligning tool, and welded the diff, but should have all the other bits, and taper bearings innit

Lool Not really. He was so annoyed to me first cos he was overtaken then gave me smile. When he pass to me then he dragged away. I tried to catch up then he was on middle of two lanes so can't do anything. ( it was heavy rain so he can't see his windscreen lol)
Anyway I should leave it. I mention to work out with my mpg. Am I stupid? Yes I am

here,s what bearings i can get off chris, the ballbearing 1st motion shaft one (near the clutch) the needle bearing off the other end, and the 2 outer cones from the layshaft and shims (cant get the inners off without busting the roller cage)
Fitted an induction kit which was made up from leftover parts of my Dad's supercharged MX5 parts.
This was the best place it would go as the piping is a little too short to go behind the battery. But I think it's pretty cool for the time being, makes lots of noise too!
Also picked up a 4-2-1 manifold from hoodedreaper yesterday, spent about 4 and a half hours on the roads going to get it. Dedication to the cause eh? But that'll have to wait until after my MOT in March for fitting.

Woopa Pandastyle!
Hammerd back and sealed my arches today.. also put my white bonnet back on
Doing a quick refurb on std steels. Thought I'd post a pic just in case anybody is unfamiliar with the playing card trick and is still masking the hard way
Looking betterer! And took less than 5 minutes to mask up all 4 rims Still need to get some more white paint and then lacquer them but you get the idea Btw, as you can see, cut up cereal packet works just as well
