I talk a lot of sh*t, usually have to keep a roll of toilet paper handy in the car for my mouth

Re: Daniel's Rookie DIY FTO Build!
Had a productive day today!
Martin (did everything) helped me:
Re-wire sunroof (hi-tech sh*t, it auto closes when you turn the car off
)
Tighten power steering belt
Tightened up my centre glove box so no more wobbling and sh*t
I:
Installed rear strut brace
Re-fitted interior ECU cover panel/flare panel
Put in my crappy floor mats to save my genuine ones
Vacuumed carpet

Also, can someone move this to member's rides now please

Re: Daniel's Rookie DIY FTO Build!
Cleaned it today (the interior, anyway)
Taking all the seats except mine out so c**nts stop leaving sh*t in my car
Also, has developed a habit of backfiring... and I'm only getting about 400km/tank
Think she needs a tune

Re: Daniel's Rookie DIY FTO Build!
Yeah I actually think mine is a leak at the headers so 02 sensor is getting wrong information. But it is almost definitely running rich.
Just wanted to say "needs a tune" to make myself feel like it performs enough to actually need one
To be fair, with the bad mileage, it is just to and from work which is like 5km each way, on at least 3/4 throttle for almost all of it. Was getting good mileage to and from the bonfire so I think its just a mixture of short trips and it running only a little bit rich..

Re: Daniel's Rookie DIY FTO Build!
Got my 17 inch wheels on.
Running 205/40R17 Federal SS on the front and cheapies on the back.
Car is smoother than the 16s I had on there with a 50 profile or something like that
Also, my steering wheel is now back to centre?

Pics to come tomorrow!
