Did something silly  :-X

Decided, that for some completely unknown reason, TBE has found a whole shitload of grip, and had myself some real fun this evening.

In the past week or so.....

Changed all 4 cams for G cams
Changed timing belt
Changed aux belt for wrong type..... ordered the correct type for AC
Changed cylinder heads for Vectra Challenge #020's heads
Replaced waterpump
Changed front wishbones, drop inks and steering arms on both sides for brand new and also fitted Powerflex bushes too...
Put some petrol in
Woke the neighbour up from his slumber on the couch whilst I was revving the newly rebuilt engine, I guess he wasn't pleased as a few choice words was exchanged  ;D :D
Changed H/U for a double din/full din H/U with SatNav built in...
Rewired speakers etc... coz the BOSE system isn't compatible with the new H/U.....
Changed wheels back to Elite 17's coz they got new tyres on

Tomorrow having the tracking sorted coz of new suspension parts......

[oh sigh...] remind me, why do we have a guides section again...?


Unless of course, by "tracking" you actually mean full geometric set up for castor at the front, camber and toe front and back ...?

...you did? Ok that's alright then. :y
