Small update - Whole car is now waxoyled apart from the doors. Bloody stuff stinks and goes everywhere so some of today was spent cleaning cavity wax off the floor :oops: - The other traling arm is now stripped down, all of which came apart a lot easier than the other one, but that bloody circlip i...

I do get a few people asking if it's a lotus too, which I say "No, I wish." Then a few others once in a blue moon will say "Nice car, I owned a GSI once..." Most people do...

I've tried EBC yellows on the track - they are crap. Reds are better than yellows IMO. Lasted half a day (blew the gearbox up at lunch :roill:), had half of the pads left to go, and they broke up when I took them out back at the workshop. 2 of them came apart from the back plate, the others were cra...
