Is that actually red, or brown?

What colour's your anti-freeze?

I'll clean it up tomorrow and go for a drive and see what happens.
Nathan, anti freeze is a redish browish colour.
Benny, cheers for the offer but I have a JDM BB1 at my moms that I'm currently breaking. The engines a bit of a smoker but while its out I'll get the pistons rings and valve stems seals etc. done. That's if I need it.

Well its grew an orifice that once wasn't there and is now leaking from it. so that pretty much sums it up, yeah

I've not had chance to look yet

Another problem I ran into was on the way to Bri's the weekend.
I aquired a siezed rear caliper and put the pad down to the metal

Bri tried to free up the caliper & sliders while we were there but it wasn't playing ball and the 14m nut at the back sheared. So I've got to got to sort that before I can take the car out again.

Had a visit from Mike from R motion today. Who Kindly delivered my new interior

Couldn't have picked a worse time to buy them really, as two days later I find out my block may have gone porous

Anywho I thought I'd fit them anyway

They turned up looking a little riffy. Looks like they had been sat for a while and been collecting dust.
so I spent the afternoon with some fabric cleaner, a cloth and some warm water. they came up quite well in the end.

First of all was to remove the old interior. Had plenty of practice doing this in the past installing ampwire and removing from the tracklude etc. so it was out in a flash.
Old interior

Removed and a good hoovering of the carpets

Can anyone tell me what this plug is for?

The rear re-fitted

The Fronts re-fitted

With my mats in (they're starting to look rather tired now though)
