Strut brace fitted today

[st3ph3n]

Big thanks to Hypertech for supplying and fitting my strut brace today. Got it fitted whilst it was in for an oil change this morning. Car picked up from work and dropped off a few hours later. Top service again.

No pics yet, but it's looking mighty fine. One of cusco's finest. I need to clean the engine bay a bit, too many wasps in the IC to get rid of before I take photies.

Certainly feel a bit of a difference again with it. Combined with the geometery and drop links done previously it makes the car fantastic to drive. Well worth the cash.

Now that the control is sorted I can get to the power!

Can't comment on your braces, but your motor was sounding sweet on the K bridge tonight!

Talking of cleaning the engine bay wot do folks use other than steam clean.

I used some of the Swissol orange based cleaner that Mark Underwood (Wax Wizard sent me).

It contained a degreaser, engine cleaner and dress up kit.

Bay was cleaned for the first time at around 80k and some bits i thought SHOULD have been black came up WHITE!!

Pic taken at 110k

Thats clean, well done

Thanks for the compliment Andy. I aim to please.

That's a clean looking engine Dougster. That swissol engine bay cleaner is quite hard to come by it seems. I've got the entry collection with samurai wax and it's the business. So I imagine their engine stuff is also great.

Halfrauds sell an engine bay cleaning set called CD2 (i think) - used it on mine (in a kind of half-arsed way) and it came up nice.

Cost about £8 - you get two tins, one is the cleaner the other makes everything all shiny again.
