I've heard of those, if I remember correctly it's about £30 quid an hour of something?

I think underseal is a must on all Japanese cars, it's seriously inadequate what they apply in the factory

well the postman arrived today and brought me this........ :D

then the policeman came and stole my smile, and my good mood by giving me a £50 on the spot fine for my HID's, apparently they are illegal.....

nice cap :D

thought HIDs are legal over there? but hey, a £50 fine for your HIDs and it's done? you're lucky in the UK. Over here, you don't get just a fine but also your plates can be taken off for having aftermarket HID kits (except you have standard bulbs with you and could change back to standard on the spot).

thank you :D, shiney things are good, blue shiney things are even better lol

legal, yes and no.....if you have self levelling and headlight washers, then yes they are deemed legal, i have neither so no, mine are now classed as illegal. Also mine are too bright too, so i think i will revert to OEM bulbs for the time being while i order some lower rated bulbs which dont attract police attention :D

not much of an update really, still having problems with my headlights, cant seem to find what is causing the short, and with the shops closed on sundays(today) i cant get any more bulbs/fuses.....ive been through 6 lights and five fuses in four days :x

still, i gave the car a good wash, wax and seal today. and decided afterwards that my only course of action is to sell one of the children and buy myself a DA polisher :D.

then i took her out for a drive to get some pics......

Nice pics Paul 8)

As Ayrton said aswell I can't get over how much that spoiler suits it

That Estoril in the scrapyard over the field only has a week or so left before it's crushed if your still interested in the doors :)

ha ha ha, i have three to choose from.....
cheers andy, its coming off soon to be repaired, i got a fibreglass kit for christmas, but im going to countersink a little metal plate within it too for good measure.

cheers andy, if he is set on crushing it could ask him to take off the front passengers side door for me?
i get paid at the back end of the month you see, but i will pop through and get it then.

two updates in two days......wow :D
finally got the new passenger side front door fitted. nice easy job to be honest 8), the only problem now is thats with it being sat in the garage for a few weeks its nice and shiny and very clean....unlike the rest of the car, so i think after lunch i will give the old girl a bit of a wash and polish.

Also completely stripped out the old door so there will be a few bits appearing in the for sale section too :D

certainly will Baz, went straight from washing womble to sorting out new bushes, drop links, track rod ends and lower ball joints on the brother in laws lucida. He's having a nightmare with suspension issues, looking like it might also need a rear strut replacing......one day ill get a chance to sort out my suspension issues...lol
all good fun though, and i couldn't sit/stand there and watch him do it all by himself

I've heard some horror stories with those lucidas, the look cool for a mpv, just they're a bugger for the heads going on them
