Washed, chamoised, polished, vacuumed & lubricated the Lancer today, total 4 hours to fully detail... Was a bit naughty and washed at home with all the water restrictions I would post pics but the camera died!!

finished step 2:
replaced my heater core and fan switch...what a c@#t of a job. going to take weeks for the skin to grow back on my knuckles got it fixed though and for only $200 and 3hrs all up including new hoses and i had no bolts left over at the end which i was happy about. swapped the HU aswell so now i can listen to quality tunes p.s. mazda wanted $1070 for a heater core and $1400 for the fan control unit who the hell would pay that?. step 3: i'll be lowering it with new shocks and springs step 4: 15% tints all round after rego's due step 1 was new 17x7 black apache rims |

yeah keeping it now..unless someone wants it but i'm not advertising it
i'm selling my gf's vitara instead and giving her my commodore wagon the little mazda only uses 9l/100km in heavy traffic and never breaks down apart from a leaky heater core and some split hoses. if anyone used king springs to lower their BA astina send some pics to whereswes@gmail.com i just want to see if they are low enought as they only sell sl's (30mm lower) and does everyone scrape their nose on gutter and driveways... |
