what have you done to your car today ?

Unfortuantely the SEAT OEM FR+ badges are discontinued so had to go for aftermarket eBay ones!

Would be interested to hear how they last - when I got my FR, there was no badge on one side and the one I got from eBay faded within a few months. The OEM ones I've got on there now are starting to discolour and fall apart now, so I'm in the market for some new ones myself.

I'm currently waiting in for DHL to deliver my new tie rods and will be fitting those on the parents' driveway next week. Good excuse for a visit, and they always have booze...

Does anyone know how much it'll affect the handling? It's gotten a bt sloppy over the past few years. It seems ridiculous that the hire Ford Kuga I drove a while back had more solid steering feel than my Leon.

Looked at it, got angry then smiled - it rained all last night and was covered with nice little beads of water

Some lovely parts came in today that's the size of the turbo compared to my 15" mac book pro

Drilled off the abs rings from the front hubs. Sand blasted and painted hubs. Fitted new bearings as well. Also fitted powerflex spherical bearing to the rear bush 9f the lower arms. Just waiting for some 45mm to 30mm sleaves to then fit the front bush.
Then it can be put on it's suspension and then start welding in the cage

I have removed the two bolt covers from the front bumper and gave them to the painter as he is on with painting my parts

Love a new badge.
Mine are looking pants already.
Only a year or so.
Apparently best to laquer them before fitting. Last so much longer.

Not going Titanium ?....think of the weight

Not mine but gave the missus car a good scrub up and another chance to get the blower out to dry it

I thought on first glance you'd got a pair of microfiber trousers... now that would be ace / save time.

Thinking about getting my youngest a microfiber onsie and then he can justvroll all over the car come wash day

SOMEONE with a "BIG MOUTH MOD" can you please measure the entire grill opening for me? Not just the part that air flows through but the entire mouth/grill. Or should I start a new thread just for a silly request like this?

Clutch and SMF came in today, along with spare 02m quattro tranny on a pallet. Getting excited the more parts come in the more I want to buy

I will measure the entire lower centre grill for you tommorow .
This was enough to do the big mouth and some left to do my centre upper grill/debadge in the not too distant future...

New brakes, oil change & a razz around town

 

[BadBoy03]

Window regulator packed up whilst out so daughter's hair curlers saved the car from a heavy soaking!

 

[Gokiwi64]

......was your daughter attached to them at the time ?...I think there's laws about that kind of thing.

Removed the cylinder head on the Polo 1.2 today... I dont think a cylinder/head/piston/valve are supposed to be melted together.... unless that's a new efficient technique produced by the germans!
