… but today I’ve driven it. And it goes, and the C\/R box seems like fun. But most importantly I think I’m finally at the point where there will be no more major mechanical hoo-has. The MOT is booked for Friday, most of the jobs are done, and I’ve repainted the spare back bumper today as the original paint was rubbish and didn’t stick too well, so I’ve re-done it with some special plastic primer that’ll hopefully mean the car stays with nice green ones for more than half a stage. <\/p>\n
The HID conversion for the pod has been tested, and it made a huge difference – the beams from the lights are usually narrow and not too clever, really. With the HID conversion it became a much broader light which is probably much more what I need. I’ve ordered another pair, so hopefully this weekend I’ll be able to get them all fitted and tested, along with most of the other parts of the car.<\/p>\n
