    car had tax and mot friday ready for coombe saturday 9th april, so just made it lol. I had advisory on rear wheel bearing play and n/s track rod end play. failed on corroded rear disks and no brake lights. New rear bearings, pads and disks were fitted along with a new brake light switch. As it stands i need a new track rod end and a retrack which ill sort.

    Re: My Astra GTE

    small update not really done alot lately just few bits i bought from billing, new boot lifters new interior clock, ive just been doing shows with it really. i had a new manifold which was given to me which i fitted on the weekend, used new studs/nuts/gasket/donought washer/new bolts at the flange. Manifold was a exact fit which was given to me by a friends uncle not sure on the make but its well constructed.





    Tickets arrived for coombe today so will be out with car saturday. The manifold really has opened the car up a little a definate improvement just need a system built now. thanks for looking.

    sourced two new relucter abs rings too so abs is working again, also bonnet vents are now satin black not to everyones taste but i think they work on this car. Future plans include more paint and exhaust system.
