All done. Got a polish after all the work too :D

I was going to machine my front rotors at work today since they were looking a little scored and glazed but when i measured them they were undersized. So i got straight onto the phone to BrakesWest who always look after me with some new front rotors and pads. Turns out sportivos have 30mm larger rotors than a standard corolla, and slightly thicker too. List of things this car is getting this weekend -Mobile 1 oil -New oil filter -New iridium spark plugs -New front rotors -new front pads -new oil level sensor seal -Sump re seal (due to having to take it off to unbash it) - Fresh coat of paint on the calipers - Rotate wheels -New pollen filter -New Air filter -Brake Fluid Flush -New wiper blades In the last few weeks its already had -New clutch, along with machined flywheel and clutch fluid flush -new driveshafts -new waterpump -coolant flush -new gearbox oil So fair to say i take care of my cars ;) I find it hard to ignore a problem.... call it OCD Random iphone snap of brakes.

As you can see its getting a bit out of hand, already purchased the seal for the oil level sensor and some sealant for the sump

cheers man :) this weekend i need to do a sump reseal and oil level sensor seal on this to make it completely leak free

Alright so got my service items for the weekend, also needs a set of wiper blades and going to machine the front rotors as they are looking a little worse for wear. ****ty Iphone pic

Installed a relay into the Headlight switch circuit so that the headlights turn off when you turn the key off, was used to the calais/SS doing that so wanted this to do the same. also installed a kill switch while i was at it, cant tell you where though.. or what its disabling :P

The heater hose that i had to remove to be able to bleed the cooling system decided to leak (****ty spring clamps) So had to replace it with a worm drive clamp...... and bleed it all over again. Anywho gave her a polish today

all done. b*tch to bleed. I didnt use Toyota Coolant. She'll be right :beer chug:

Forgot to post an update once i was done. Had the drive shaft all sorted the next day, they tried to tell me that i cracked the housing on the outer cv. After a little bit of an arguement they agreed to fix it for me under warrenty. Today how ever i bring you another update, i could smell coolant this morning so i had a look around the engine bay and spotted a drippy waterpump Removed it today, will fit the new one i have on order tomorrow after work. (was leaking from the welsh)

So as you may of seen i had my drive shafts reconditioned. They are now clicking so i took the offending drive shaft out today so that tomorrow i can drop them off to be fixed once again. Luckily they are covered by warranty The fluid was still perfectly clean which was nice to see This means i need to drive my SS to work which scares me as i dont want to get in any trouble so close to getting off my P's.

So, i removed the factory air box and intake to fit a "cold air intake" with a pod filter. i kept it on for 1 day before removing it and refitting the factory airbox. Now i ask... whhhhhyyyyyyyyy do people like pod filters? it sounds TERRIBLE! Have a terrible iphone picture of the car back to normal.

Just for looks. Its all personal preference

I was never really happy with the way the yellow tint on the fog lights turned out, so the other day i ripped off the tint. Everytime i looked at the front it just seemed to be missing something without the yellow. So today... in the rain i decided to take them off to re do the tint properly. Cleaned them up This time im using a heat gun to stretch the tint out and put it over the glass. This worked perfectly, i managed to get a completely wrinkle free/bubble free tint! Excuse the in house pictures (The garage is currently getting a massive clean out) Also excuse the iPhone pictures
