Left it in the garage, not seen it since last Wednesday. I hope it's still there. :)

Drove it from St Neots to Thetford and back, roof down, basking in glorious sunshine with a V8 soundtrack....

Running smooth now :)

Nothing to the Lexus.

On the Corrado, changed the halogen headlamp H4 bulbs to LED bulbs, and swapped out the sidelight bulbs to match. Look great and perform very well, so quite impressed with these LED headlamp bulbs. Just remains to be seen how they are for reliability.

back on topic - yesterday I did some paint touch up on the GS (with cocktail stick mind, no brush!) and today drove the SC up the A1 with the hope that when I return home later this afternoon, the sun will be shining and I can put the roof down - fingers firmly crossed..

Fitted dash cam had half of car in bits but well worth it.

katana92_uk · June 25, 2015

Fitted Wind deflectors and exhaust tips today. I think tips are bit too long frown emoticonI bought wrong length. I think i need to get exhaust pipe cut and these tips welded on.

AmbroseJohn · June 28, 2015

Finally got around to looking at the rear brakes, new disc and pad.

Spent an hour getting the first caliper off, pad pins rusted and lower slide pin seized solid. :(

Anyone know the best place to get replacements?

baxlin · July 3, 2015

Full detail today. Started raining so didn't do tyres or interior

Full wash with carchem shampoo. Tardis and carchem revolt. Arches with 1001 carpet shampoo. Full clay then a blast with AS Tango as a drying aid. Paint wasnt too bad so used das6 with AG SRP. Coat of Soft99 Fusso on top. Plastics dressed with Valetpro Protectant. Planning on doing the tyres tomorrow and the interior too
