Some small stuff covered at #TimKnottMotorsport yesterday. Re-re-re-re-tightened the oil filter obstructed by a rear extractor bank at the front. :lol: Tightened and adjusted the MOMO gear knob, and swapped out my drivers side outer door handle (cheers Dstocks) for one without a small piece broken on the inside that was making it loose.

Just over a week before car goes into the crash repairer barely a month shy of when I hit the roo.

Went to go pay for the timing belt/water pump on my car, they had lost the sheet with the price on it, so I don't have to pay it until next week :D

Washed, cut, polished, and waxed it.
Also pulled the 6X9s and put some sound deadening under them, and the parcel shelf in an attempt to kill the rattles...
Have a charity cruise and show & shine tomorrow so hopefully it looks half decent, ignoring the front bumper...

Nice and shiny!

Today I jacked up the the race car and removed the wheels, then saw the brake pads, they had absolutely nothing on them... So I replaced them.
I also removed the rear half of the exhaust because I can haha. I also tinted the fogs/parkers and the tail lights.

Next thing to do is put a seat back into it, and try tidy it up a bit more and then give it a test thrash I mean drive in a paddock.

Tim worked his usual magic because he is a wizard with a spanner for a wand. Extractors, Whiteline sway bar, and the Version R strut braces all off the silver car. Passenger hub of the white has play though, so that'll need taking care of.

I'll probably just grab one off Shane-o's-sh*t-shop when I've got the cash, prefer to sell the silver one in best condition it can be. (so to speak)

I'm tempted to buy the peugeot off of the parents, just for the Brembos, which are the same as WRXs...
Well the pads are the same at least.
