I cleaned my car on Saturday night useing a spondge, garden hose and a cheap 'wash & wax' stuff from my Local Tesco.

 

:panic:

So do we ban him for 2 days or 2 weeks or until he washes it again properly :hmmm:

Its a car I use every day, it gets dirty, covered in bugs, muck,scratches whatever...I'm not going to spend a ton of time washing her when shes just going to get dirty again within a hour. She is loved though, don't get me wrong.

Not sure if true but one of my friends who used to live in Germany said they aren't allowed to use soap for environmental reasons... Just water and a shammy cloth. I tried it once and it worked very well... but I'm sure repeated use would result in swirl city.

[Ryzza5]

Is that why they smell a bit iffy?

 

 

 

Sorry couldn't resist :lol:

You are allowed to wash the vehicle on your own, but, if I recall correctly, only on paved surfaces with sewerage system. And not on public places.

i can wash my car in my garage behind my home :D

[superhyper]

Talking about washing; this pretty little car is cleaned inside and out & it's ready to be sold :(

 

 

Meanwhile...

Still my first car, I have bought it about year ago, made couple of mods and I don't want to sell it yet ;)

I've painted those rims using plain white spray, in garage, in one day. I can't afford better rims right now so I did something with the original ones. They aren't look that bad, are they? :D

Took the FR-S to the SoCal San Diego 86 Club meet yesterday. It's great to see so many other twins and it definitely gave me some ideas for what I want on my car lol

No low life for me, I barely make it in my driveway with my new front lip at stock height, gotta take it really slow, barely make it by 10mm. Already scraped it a few times by coming in slightly too fast :fp:

 

 

Also, new headunit

 

[Ryzza5]

No double-DIN DVD player and sat nav affair?

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Nah, got some digital gauges I want to put in the bottom slot, that's why I went with a single din headunit

Decided to plop in here with a little bit of my car history, it's not long, really, I've just recently bought my second one, more on that later.

 

I'm basically repeating some of what i've said in the introduction thread, but since i dont imagine there's a lot of people checking that out, i feel it's fine to repeat myself here.

 

First car was what anyone would expect; a VW Golf MK4, SUPER BLUE 1.9TDI, with a whopping 90HP (66kW). That seemed more than enough at the time, and i was seriously glad i got that car, first time i drove it it made a blow-off-valvish-noise because the cat was removed, so that scored some extra points for sure. Kept driving that car (and loving it) for nearly three years. Then, suddenly this march i decided it's time to let it go and find something different, and by that i mean completely different. Weighed some options and reasonings, took into account my needs and yadda yadda, came up with getting something any-sized inexpensive petrol RWD japanese car. That ended up being an MX-5.

 

I told myself that I'd get that car before summer at whatever cost, and ding ding, that actually worked out. Bought a 2002 MX-5 from Germany for 2000eur.

It's a 1.6, but god damn do i love that car. Took a while for me to get used to the petrol power being in way higher rpms, torque also a good bit lower, so going from a standstill took practice too. All in all - super buy, super happy with it. Now need to fix a bit of rust and get ready for winter. :D

 

Below I provide pics of both cars, dudes.

So I had to sell my miata since I need something more practical to drive to university every week and got myself a Mini One D. The car is still stock (just debadged it) but next week I'll start dechroming the car and put on new wheels.. Future mods are also a new suspension system to lower the car around 30mm !

 

[Ryzza5]

Anyone else wondering how a Mini is more practical than a Miata (besides having a roof)?

[Fear Deer]

Well if it's for his university commute, and if he went with the One D it means that the fuel economy is quite important here.

And the mini might be a smoother ride than the miata for his daily need.

Has a (Slightly) bigger boot and has (some) room room in the back for people. Come the sunny weather and you'll soon be halking for a drop top again! ;)

 

I'm more interested in the Wrangler in the pic though! :D

[CarMadMike]

I'd take the grand cherokee tbh.
