What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[BobSpounge]

What's the ride quality like?

Wee bit harsh but not too bad considering they're wound well down, though there's a bit to go yet on them. They might need raised a bit when the springs settle. AP's would be on the better quality side of budget coilovers, not great but better than racelands etc.

@BobSpounge see this about lisburn, always admired it looks well my young lad into that sort of stuff running about in a wee vrs fabia tdi

I love older VW's myself so he's a chip off the old block. My balls are busted with that car of his but I'm not allowed to say a bad thing about it, he absolutely loves that car. Thankfully it's getting there.

Gave the mrs’ motor a proper clean, de-tarred it and gave it a coat of ‘hydracoat’ which I’ll be launching at dubshed finally.

It’s my take on the polymer sealants which have became popular recently like polar seal, duels flex offerings, and the ‘ceramic’ sealants (and I use that word very loosely like they should!)

I’m finding a good 3 - 4 months of high quality protection and of course some nice hydrophobic results.

A few on here got to try the original iterations but I definitely feel we have improved on an already decent product!

That looks tidy. Pretty sure mine is exempt next year, 40 years isn’t it?

That's class. Very different to what a lot of young lads would be driving these days. Fair play to him.

Modified the big sofa.

Been hoarding the kit for years, good to get them finally fitted.

Has it not been on over the winter?

 

[KevM]

No, I dont trust it enough to leave it on.

I have been starting and moving the car fairly often (just not often enough it seems) lol

What don't you trust about it? I bought a Noco one from Halfords as they had no CTek in stock, its done the job perfectly!

 

[KevM]

We have Cteks in work here, which are a good job.
I have a Halfords one. Dunno. Im just paranoid about it being on all the time, although it wouldn't be the first time I have left it on for a few days to charge & float.

 

[Lappintyre]

I've had it on since Nov time constant, does the trick(le).

 

[Big Pimp]

Fired the trickle charger on

mine has been on since around September!

 

[Steve750]

Made it past the taking bits off point and started putting it back together. Don’t think it’ll be ready for Easter though

Run half a dozen of them all year round.

Lowered it 30mm. Took a fair bit of fiddling with the wee adjustable links for the rear air suspension but think I’m happy with it now. Next up wheel refurb and spacers.

The wonky plate on that Range Rover

 

[Boydie]

Too many ugga dugga’s from Gilnahirk or I had my weetabix this morning

 

[Cossers]

Guessing those weren’t torqued up right in the first place or been on years.

Was off last weekend to fix a leak. Took all my strength and a pole on the end of the wrench to get all 5 off. Replaced 4 of them
