However before I worked that out I have been having persistant problems with the centre/downpipe/CAT joint as no matter how I bolt/seal it after a few days it blows like **** (also there is smallish holes on my CAT that blow too)
So as well as some service parts I have purchased my 3rd gasket and some gun gum
Changed the filter
1991 Ford Escort rubbers as theyre thicker than OEM Honda
More stuff to change
Slowly getting there and I have some plans coming up soon which could go well for the car or not so well
Checked over my brakes as they have began to squeel when almost at a complete stop (copper grease I think will do the trick)
Then I changed the spark plugs... comparison to old plug
Oil change.. now as my little brother who is an apprentice mechanic says he has never seen oil so black, must havebeen 134000 miles of oil ... looking like someone had made a large black coffee
45 minutes to find the fuel filter (didnt expect it to be staring me in the face)
Which lead me to this
Whilst I had the wheels off I took the worst alloy
Changed the tyre and attached it with a wire brush, nail brush and some engine cleaner to clean it up. Then I decided to give it a quick lick of paint and a polish
New tyres, exhaust repaired and the underneath looked over for rust and shizz.. Theres tinny bits of surface rust around the spare wheel well but thats it
Then we went a little boost along the back roads so I could blow the dust off my camera
Ohh and I have a rebuilt gearbox now
Gave the slag a good clean again since I was off work
. 3 hours cleaning the engine bay
. 3 hours cleaning, claybarring and polishing the outside (including removing lights, number plate and side skirts)
. 2 hours cleaning the inside as it was a tad dirty
So as usual pictures shall do the talking
Yes thats my finger smudge in the middle (damn it was dirty)
My mate decided to put opened sugar packets in my door pull!!!
