Had the day off today to get the car cleaned ready for Stanford Hall - Ha!!

 

Anyway, thought I would take the battery off and clean the engine bay a bit. Cant believe how much dirt builds up here.

 

Before:

 

And After:

 

Much improved but still some underseal stuff to get off, might have to remove the headlight. Whats best to remove the underseal?

Bling! very nice little job that buddy :)

[Supercharged 2]

Very nice, white spirit does the job nicely but you need to leave some sort of protection on the battery tray as it seems to be a water trap!

yeh white spirit or some acetone does the job, last time i did mine i just applied looooads of collinite 476s on it after i cleaned it all and it was fine.

Never thought about it, what should I put in it and does it make a difference?

He didn't buy fuel there! ......It was just a good opportunity to contrast the blackberry with the yellow signage. Obviously.

rs`s are so scene.....

Only shell V power for mine, Jet petrol is one of the worst out there for carbon build up.

 

And it does make a difference to both response & engine feel.

Ha Ha, until you get a silver one with RS's!!!

Ooops, it normally gets ASDA's own, it got JET because I left work late.

 

Will have to start making a trip across town for Shell then I guess.

indeed you shall. :) a few extra pence but worth it in the long run if you are keeping it.

Quick picture from a local classic car meet tonight, massive turnout (nearly 400 cars!) for a Wednesday evening.

 

 

The corrado got so much attention, I was asked by some bloke if he could have a sit in it and as I was about to leave, a couple of guys came over and said for them it was 'car of the night' said he'd never seen a car as clean!!! Really chuffed by the comments i got.

 

There is another one coming up soon on a Friday in July at the humber bridge if anyone local fancy's going.

 

Another question, I've had a private registration for years thats been on my daily, last december I put it on retention cos we changed the car. I am now debating whether or not to put it on the Corrado, The Corrado is on its original number plate and never had a transfer at all. Plus the 'N' plate dates the car which I quite like.

 

What to do?????

Yep, only 'V' power now, only problem is the nearest shell garage is other end of Hull. Is BP ultima any good?

 

The humber bridge meet is organised by the 'East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club' There is a massive array of cars from Austin 7's, Ferraris, E-types, classic fords. Tonight there was a TVR trident! the only one in the UK...

 

No probs with the polishing, let me know when your free and I'll check what I'm up to. I have Friday afternoons off at the moment.
