I haven't driven the car since the Track day as i wanted to attend to some things first... This weekend i managed to get some time to go in the garage and play a bit...
First issue to address: Replace Bumper Brackets as someone clipped my car in the parking lot and the front left bracket that holds the bumper to the fender broke... which caused it to move slightly at high speeds so as an interim fix i just duct taped it at the Track...
Any how I decided to replace both left and right brackets to ensure a nice snug fit... so i had to start by jacking up the car and putting it on stands then to strip the front end..
New vs old brackets
New Bracket fitted
Changed the colour of this brace while i was in there
Front end Back on and Buttoned up...
Then i moved onto the Service/Maintenance and made this little reminder as the car was standing for 2 weeks..
Changed plugs as these look tired for only 13000km's... Octane Booster taking its toll here..
Pulled the old oil filter
and got the new one ready to go in
Then added some additive
and filled up with LM10w60 oil
lastly since i lowered the car so much for the track, i think one of the jack pads got caught somewhere and came off... so i was using a piece of wood for a few days until i got the replacement and fitted it...
Then i raised the suspension a bit (10mm in front and 18mm rear), fitted wheels back, put the car down on the ground... Topped up oil to required level and went for a test drive... All smooth and enjoyable... ready for action!!
I still need to respray my front bumper in sapphire black metallic as it has alot of road rash and scuffs on the lower fangs, i have already purchased the colour matched paint, primer, filler, harders, clear coat,guide coat, sanding blocks, sanding papers, Prepsol and everything else that's required to do the job properly so I just need to make time to prep before painting as the prep work takes so much of time and effort it looks like i will have to put that off until later in the year.
thanks for looking ..
