Wow - didn't think I even had a thread anymore!

 

Looking back it's sort of making me all nostalgic! :camp:

 

Don't think I've driven her for about 5 or 6 months now - good way to keep the miles off! :grin:

 

Really need to get back on top of modding the C again - keep promising to do it when the weather gets better. Come on, give me some inspiration!

ROFL... I'm still working on a price for sending you the "good stuff"...

 

Car was lovely and taut and very quick in the summer. :) Don't think I got any photos though...

Yep, those lights weren't exactly great but what alternatives do we have now, 7 years on? FK's :gag: and angel eyes :gag:

 

Right, think I need to get it sorted out and back on the road again (when the weather gets better! :camp:)

Thanks but I'm guessing they don't do all red rears? I think the only thing to do is use some of the red film to tint one of my spare sets, which I'll be doing very soon!

 

For now though, the car currently looks like this .....

Thing is, I just don't know where to stop!! It's like an illness :nuts:

 

Part of me says, why not rip the dash out as well and change the heater matrix whilst I'm at it. Not aware that it's been done before so thinking prevention rather than cure when it eventually does go.

 

Then I had another strange thought about getting a respray while everything's in bits but that didn't last too long, as much as I do think it's a good idea.

 

I do have a pretty long list of things I want to do though so should keep me busy for a while.

Stuff to do and boredom are about the only explanations I have!

 

Beige carpet, door cards, all other trim

Big leather/interior clean

Sound deadening everything

Revamping the ICE

Fitting VAG centre console guage pod

Fixing heater controls

Sorting heated seat loom

Fixing the fact that my MPG displays 99.9 all the time

 

So I figured rip the whole interior out and I may as well do the heater matrix while I'm at it.

 

Plus:

 

Fitting Mocal

Coolant/oil/filter change

Swapping door handles

Changing rear plate surround

Fitting OEM+ headlight loom (standard connectors)

Fitting new bee-sting aerial

Fitting de-cat pipe

Getting a few bits of paintwork sorted

 

Might:

 

Buy some tyres and fit them to the mint speedos I have

Or

Get some new alloys altogether

Does it feel prehistoric after driving the Evo then? or is it still rewarding but different?

 

You've hit the nail on the head with the second statement - absolutely spot on. The C is nowhere near the machine but although it's nowhere near as responsive and tight, it still just feels fantastic! I thought there was something seriously wrong with the C brakes but after a while I think you just remember that they're fecking shocking to begin with! :D I just can't see me selling it, which is weird!

 

Can you get more pics of that Bedford Rascal that you sent me please?

 

Ok, only one though as I know you really love a Rascal. Excuse the car that got in the way of the pic though - fecking Jap-car owners, think they can park anywhere!! Sorry I don't have any more shots of the Rascal :(
