daz05 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) 47 minutes ago, Withy said: Watched @daz05's video on PSE and decided to make sure mine was working as expected as sometimes I don't hear the switch in tone.. but all looks to be fine, and since the actuators squeak, I've ordered some high temp spray lubricant (WD-40 Silicone). Also added a trombone cleaner too so I can do the drains too https://vimeo.com/687712463 Definitely time to clean up around the plectrum and lubricate. There are two golden rules, no cold starts and stop before a layup, even if just until the weekend. If you do manually close to get the fluid out and lubricate with WD40 or something. Always drive with it off for a while - a press a day keeps the rust away 😂 Edited March 13, 2022 by daz05 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it also looked a bit like an old Mercedes SL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withy Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Cleaned the roof, applied Fabsil Gold. used the trombone cleaner on as per some folks advice and did a test that roof drains are working as expected. All looks OK to me Edited March 21, 2022 by Withy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moospeed Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Cleaned off the filth from the recent Wales jolly boys outing. Looks like the paint sealant and wax are doing their job, this is just with water spraying off the grime before washing.

GTSMarky Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Racked up a few miles since Sunday. Up to Edinburgh via North Berwick, then on to Gleneagles area & home via central Edinburgh to collect my co-driver! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're the same wheels as mine, surprisingly they are painted silver edge, not polished. Much more durable 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was buying again I'd go for GT Silver. Must be easier to maintain and is just more durable over time. Mine's Diamond Black and lovely when it's properly clean, but the slightest water mark/dust/debris shows right up. Collecting a new tin top next week and it's Glacier White. Haven't had a white car since my MK1 Astra GTE back in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andygo Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Changed the spark plugs. Pretty straightforward, although interestingly the nearside three were trickier to access then the offside three. The nearside front plug was a proper so and so, needed to bring all my gynaecologist skills into play as well as a varied selection of universal joint and wobbly extensions. Anyway, all done now the car is at 50K miles. I have recently swapped front discs (Sebro) and pads (Texstar). I was slightly surprised that swapping the old discs and pads out seemed to cure a slight wheel wobble I had at an indicated 80mph on my obviously optimistic ( )speedo. Must have been the ridged discs having a say. Next job is to change the PDK oils and fluids and exhaust manifold to cat gaskets and bolts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringmaster999 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Went down to the local Royal Mail sorting Office and paid the £41:08 import tax (Inclusive of £8 Royal Mail handling fee) for my Emc2 fitting kit for the 991 front splitter to fit my 981 Boxster. So I’ll fit tomorrow and hopefully like the look 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That GTS symposer even sounds great with the roof down, proper mean sounding! I gave the car a quick look over before I put it away and that new front splitter does look good and more importantly it hadn’t dropped off while I was gunning it😂👌 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringmaster999 Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Failed on my first attempt at fitting the 991 front splitter to my 981 😂😂 @Lonewolfgjp looking under the car I see what’s in the pictures below. [url=https://postimg.cc/WqZHt2nb][img]https://i.postimg.cc/WqZHt2nb/56-E31-AA3-5-D93-4-A08-B805-B1-D2-A21385-A5.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://postimg.cc/LnTVDYnF][img]https://i.postimg.cc/LnTVDYnF/E02-C598-C-0532-4-AC6-983-C-F9387-F57-F6-E2.jpg[/img][/url] So first question did yours look like this? If so obviously you have to remove the small lip that’s there already. Go on give us a clue as to how. Tried sliding but it’s not moving 🙄 This isn’t mentioned in the Emc2 fitting instructions. Any help appreciated 👍 Edited March 26, 2022 by Ringmaster999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
