Had a little spare time today so i thought id decat the exhaust! Quite pleased with the results... not much louder (which i didnt want) but its sounds raspy and it burbles. Left the pre cat in though but will get a new manifold at some point!

Also gave me a chance to weld my exhaust hanger back on which snapped off :( made sure it wasnt coming off so easy this time!!

Mr. Postman came today with a little delivery for me!

Thought I'd go with a better quality one as I'm all about the sound rather than one of those cheap Xtrons off ebay!

So got myself a steering boss so I can get a nice wheel on there... Just need to find a Steering Wheel Now. Looking for something fairly small like a momo 280 - 300 or anything else around 300mm, so if anyone is selling anything... i might be interested :) Then ill have to face the daunting task of taking the air bag off... 2 hour job from what I've been reading :/

After my next door neighbor decided he would crash into the back of me while trying to bump start his van! Decided it was about time to smooth the rear bumper... so instead of using the £5 crappy spray i was using bought a real nice 'professional' (so it says) spray gun and a inline water trap and air regulator.

Got this lot the other day... Hopefully it will be a bit easier with some slightly better kit! The paint might actually come out uniformly this time!

Okay that was a massive ball ache! Spent 40 minutes trying to pop them stupid clips off and they wouldn't budge! This was using the method people said and turning the wheel 90 degrees and working from the top. Turned the wheel just a little like this... So the hole was down by the keys and I popped both the clips off within 5 minutes.

For anyone that wants to know what the clip looks like its this....

Got both the clips off and the airbag was still in place so gave it a tug and it flew off in my lap. Expected it to blow up in my face tbh :L

Got it in and it looks sweet!

Beautiful looking car, i never been a big fan of 6n2's but this is wow ;) Love it........

Thanks for the comments guys! All are welcome, love to hear your opinions and ideas!

New steering wheel is rather close the the indicator stalks so i kept knocking the window wipers on when I turned! A spacer was needed! Looking for one yesterday and there like £35 for a hollow peice of metal with a couple holes in! Luckily a mate got a brand new removable boss when he bought his sparco a while ago that he never used... Luckily he still had it so he let me have that for a few pennies! Bit chunky and brings it out a little too much now but it's better than it was!

When I bought the car I got a set of camber shims and camber bolts... The camber bolts have been on since I lowered it to correct a bit of the -ve from lowering it but finally thought I'd make use of the rears. Could do with a little advise sticking them on. Gonna wack them at full adjust of -1.5 degree's camber but does will I need to adjust for any toe or can that be left at 0?
