I honestly would not get the hose out to wash the engine, even if im posative all the electrics are covered. There too much at risk. For cleaning i used Normal Brake cleaner, and Engine cleaner from Halfrouds, and autoglyms Metal polish. But to be honest any metal polish would do. I also used the cream colour rags you can buy from Wilkinson, and a pack of diffrent grades of metal wool. I use the wool with brake cleaner to get off the oxidis-ation on the A/c pump(or i think it is, right next to the Alternator) and pipe work. I will post some pics on the car care section if the work pc permits me to. lol Monki.

Nooooo i wasnt spraying it directly onto the eletrical parts, i was spraying the cleaner onto a cloth and going form there. I may be a bit nuttie at times but even the Monki has "Some" common sence. []

Yeh just working with the standard equipment at the moment. ALot of my pipe work had oxidised, But using brake/engine cleaner, and metal polish, the parts i was working on have came up to a very good shine. Monki.

Just bought my ticket, Hopefully i didnt leave it to late lol.

Just a quick note, Karyns politly messages me regarding my Polo shirt order. They may take a little while longer also as they have changed embroiders. Monki.

I know i wont be entering my self but im still cleaning and polishing that engine bay ready for Japfest. Just incase im persuaded to open the bonnet.[]

I cant beleve what people do. Its so wrong. Well i suppose i cant say much with a bat by my parents front door, but i just take pride in what i own (Like everyone else) so i like to keep it looking smart and protect it at all cost. Monki.

HI Ratty, Go to www.photobucket.com and sign up for free. You can then upload your home pics of your motor ect. When you are ready to post pics on SIDC. Under each picture you upload to photobucket theres a link to copy.(Starts with ) Once you have copyed the link you can paste it into a conversation and hopefully. Whalllla. Hope this was fairly easy to understand?[Y] Monki.

Good moring. Whats kept you up this early?

You have done a top dog job there. The results look ashtonishing, i think the 50/50 impact factor would have been awsum. You could have left the other side waited till your mate seen the results, and charged him to do the other half [] Monki.

ITs so f**king wrong, cant they save up or take out finance like everyone else? Is kicking down the owners front door the norm now for stealing cars? I hope the theving TWOC'r has his hands broken beyond repair. Monki.

Hey Lou, Where about is Alen Jeffreys? As my local stealers is not 10min down the road but are quite expensive. Ben.

Thank you SP. I got a bit of engine detaleing to do this weekend with engine cleaner and a bit of elbo grease. I just got to be careful cleaning the intake manifold as the Red paint nortorioues for flaking off. Ben.

Yeh im deffinatly looking forward to this. I will be on my pleb as i havent met any one yet but ice skating should be a very good laugh if thats the plan. Monki.

I have just ordered my Japfest Stand pass. Dave T has arranged for my car to be on the "Best of" as he asked P1woc owners if they wanted to be on the stand provided they had a SIDC membership. But as from what i know no one put there hand up, i said i did have a membership and a place was offered to me. Is this ok Sp?

Lol, Hope theres a front mount fitted, as i would hate to see what babies, small children ans OAP's would do to the topmount. []

I do like your car alot Crage. I have toyed with the idea of buying a STi8 scoop myself. Do you find with the bigger scoop you got to be careful not to hoover up small children and OAP's?[Y]

Sorry, I for some reason thought this was the chat thread DOH! Sorry all.

Im sure Ed would be ok on the day, and im sure you will do a fantastic job of getting another club stand award at Japfest[]. If im correct are you learning to drive atm SP?

Thats cool. Hope Ed's feeling good today, and i hope your not to tired either SP. Looking forward to Japfest?

I just rang home to find out but no answer. I will be home about 7ish tonight. As the post man on Saterdays are slower than a Daihatsu, ill ring home later this afternoon to find out. Anyone going to Weston tonight?

Cheers Jaq, i wear the club badge with pride. Go on Craig if you really want to show us your "Pink" bits lol. I cant wait to meet up with you guys, its going to be a good laught. Iv got in to a habit of flashing my lights at other scoobys and waving frantically to show my respect dont ask why.[]
