The GT4 shirt shift gear lever was also a nice addition 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a post on the forum re Bridgenorth run It would be nice to see you and your new car👍 Be interesting if you think it feels a bit bigger on the tighter twistys, I think they do but you can still fire them round the corners. The PDK is fantastic as you can keep both hands on the wheel while you’re white knuckling 😂 Hopefully the weather will be a dryer than the Christmas breakfast meet which was very wet☔️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 NSR tuning fork , replaced today noticed that when I did the lower control arms , off side was new , I can’t understand why people do any suspension work and only do one side , firm believer do both if one side has gone , the other can’t be far behind . And the one I changed was like a pr*ck in a shirt sleeve !! Trouble with this joint is near impossible to tell when it’s loaded up how worn it actually is, until you get the snooker ball rattle. Which this wasn’t doing , but would have not been long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey P Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Finally got round to cleaning the car inside, which it desperately needed. Hoovered the mats and carpets in the cabin and both boots (I don't like the term "frunk"). Cleaned all the plastics, and topped up the screen wash tank. Only thing I didn't do was clean the leather seats, which I'll save for another day. Work has been a bit slack for the past month, so definitely got too much time on my hands... 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bally4563 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Front pads and discs and a pair of second hand low mileage front struts ( off a car that were changed out for X73 at 25 k ) Done this in the past down this route , however trust me if you do this yourself and go on u tube etc that tell you need spring compressors to do this you don’t , a little technique and they fly out … ish as in not stuck in the hub and drop links come out easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Just dropped it off at the wheel refurbishing shop. Going Porsche Satin Aurum Gold with Aurum centre caps 🫣🫣 Hopefully it’ll look good. Think when I have the GT4 style front bumper fitted in March it’ll look great. Before photo. Will post another when I pick the car up 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Not today but yesterday I had the dreaded flat battery 😩 Self inflicted really as I had robbed the plug off my ctek and forgotten to replace it and put the car on trickle💩 Now after a bit of head scratching and internet research I tried to get in the car, fortunately it wasn’t locked but the window wouldn’t drop but I did manage to open the passenger door. Happy days I thought, pop it on the ctek and I’m back in business? No the ctek wasn’t having it in the cigar lighter, just wouldn’t charge 🤔 So I needed to get to the battery but the drivers wouldn’t open with the window up so I couldn’t access the fuse box to do the jump trick. I decided there must be an emergency cable for the bonnet and found a foreign video online demonstrating it but it was a left hand drive car and the cable was on the left hand side. I decided the rhd must be on the right and even checked online “yes it is on the drivers side of a rhd car” after removing the wheel and stripping the wheel arch I can confirm it is on the passenger side of our right hand drive cars!!🤬 I eventually managed to pop the bonnet after doing the same on the passenger side and accessing the battery. I thought I’m on the home straight here! Nope it appears my battery is Donald ducked so a new one is on order! The moral of the story is keep your battery charged and don’t pinch the plug like I did, also I’m not sure what you would of done if the locking wheel bolts would have been fitted as the key bolt would have been in the front boot 😩 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you could open doors using the emergency key even if the window can’t drop due to lack of power. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
