What have you done to your car lately?

[PrincessPeachey]

fixed the oil leak that it had. turns out that repco gave me the 2.2 oil filter so it didnt fit properly causing the casing not to close properly and the oil leaked out. 1 litre in 3 days. then i fitted the simota

good to hear that it wasn't anything major.

i cleaned some of the junk out of it. the rest got thrown in the back as i don't use the back, lol.

Ordered a bunch of stuff from Autovaux last night. Eagerly awaiting their arrival now
Have also got my centre console out in the sun to finish drying the final coat of paint I put on last night

Missed the cup holder in the front door and dropped a large McOrange Juice on the floor under my feet.. Whilst travelling at 100km/h... The fun part was when it hit the floor the lid popped off providing an orange juice explosion that hit the drivers door, window, seat, back seat and then filled both the door pocket and foot well with orange juice...
Tasty....

installed a 4bar fpr (thankyou nuggz)

also insalled a brot3k approved double stack rear sway bar (and hey it does make a noticeable difference to the overall handling)

I use the one between the rear ashtray and the handbrake.

On topic. I found out my bridgestones make lots of smoke.

Well I cleaned my EGR Valve today. Only cleaned it 5k ago but decided to do it more regularly due to the amount of soot it gathers up

Had a crack at colour coding today. I pulled off the bumper strips off my Corsa and had a go at it. I learned several important lessons:

*Auto-One will happily mix up any colour you want in an aerosol can for a decent price
*There are two Star Silver 3 colours - one is slightly brighter and more metallic than the other
*I used the wrong colour so will get a can of the second forumlation and try again next pay
*Don't even think about going to Holden for the colour
*Great prep is everything - don't sand down the plastic enough and the finish will look horrid

So whilst the bumper strips look ok, the colour is a very slight mismatch and I need to redo the sanding on the strips as they're a rough still. However, i'm really happy with my first go at it and feel really confident that I can do the rest of the external trims myself instead of paying someone $500 to do it!

Meanwhile, i've gpt a new Alpine headunit on lay-by too, so when I pay for that and get it installed, i'll post photos. No photos of the colour-coding yet though as the bumpers need to have little paint chips sorted out.
