Thanks slj_2003. I thought the same when I chucked in some Chinese LEDs back in 2014. I guess I keep making it look better each time. Maybe one day I'll look back at the current setup and think it was terrible.

This is the last post for tonight, but I have more. Here's the controller for the colours. There's a lot that can be done with this! After finishing this, my phone (which is actually Eddie's phone) finally broke termainally. So photos are a little more scarse. There are more to come tomorrow...

Part 5? 6? I dunno now. These tyres fill in the arches a lot more than the others, while leaving room for the suspension to travel fully. Look at the tread going onto the shoulder! Oh man. These are meaty. I think my motorcycle has more tread than these do. Looks good at the back too. I guess...

Part something While I had the boot panel off, I decided to add rivnuts. Those plastic screws have been annoying for long enough. I did this a bit clumsily, but there we go. Some new tyres arrived! These are meaty! They were made at the beginning of March, 2021, so they're new. They haven't...

Part... four? I specifically positioned some of the lights to shine on things like the needle bases. I also added foil tape to places to really increase the reflectivity. It was rainy and stormy with big gusts of strong wind. So the cover blew off and the open-top car got rained on. I even had...

Part three! This was looking quite good now. At the time, at least. One of the things that sucked about this prototype was the warning lights. They were just so messy from how I'd cut them. The design looked good though. But it wasn't lighting up very brightly. It was more like the stock setup...

Huh. Even when uploaded from my laptop, the photos don't show without clicking on them. That really sucks. Part two. With the headlight on: And now for the Asian headlight. With the indicator (this actually looked this good): With the internal, main reflector sidelight. These look a bit...

Right then... I have a lot of updates to do. I've still been doing things, but I haven't posted on here. From this point on, it was all quite a mad rush to get things done before Japfest, while working a new 40-hour job. So, let's begin. I'll try to remember the details for these photos but...

Looks like I set a new record for how close I park my cars together. I probably can't improve on this so I shouldn't try. So, I took the Maxtrek off. Thank goodness it's only flat on the bottom. I couldn't see where the air was escaping from, so I'll check again some time. It's odd that it...

Okay. I didn't post for a while, I guess I've been busy with other stuff. I am now at home. Images don't seem to be showing on desktop browsers without clicking on them, but they show up fine on the MSC app. Here is what my friend gave me. I can't tell you how excited I am to fit this, but it'll...

Almost all of them in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

I am still alive. You might be wondering why I haven't posted anything in around half a year. That's because I went to Finland, and got stuck. This time, I'm driving my N13 back home, but the world has become a strange sub-apocalypse and driving through Europe is currently unwise, and really...

Photos are still not showing on desktop browsers... Looks like this is it for the year now. No more driving this car until next year. A new CGA3 has been found, with only 41k miles, so that shall be put in place when I have time. Until then... The driveway order has been adjusted. As for the...

For some reason, if you're viewing this on a web browser, the images might just be links. It was time for the winter wheels. The Nankangs have had about enough, and their tread is about done for. Temperatures are getting low now and the hard, thin tyres are starting to struggle a little bit. I...

I'm giving up with the leak for now. Luckily I only use my car for going to uni once a week, I can walk to the shop or take my bike (even though that has been running on 3/4 for a long time now)... I'm now looking for another CGA3 engine, I'm a bit fed up with all of this CG13 stuff and just...

So. Eventually, the rain paused. I got the exhaust back on, as it was the last thing to do. I thought it was odd that the bolts would both tighten different amounts, but that's the only way they'd go, perhaps one is a little shorter. You can see where someone (almost guaranteed to be me) has...

So, yesterday, I continued after the sun had dried the floor a bit. The two semicircular seals that go around the crankshaft are a nightmare to work with! According to the Haynes manual, you should slot them in place on the block, hold them in with some sealant, and then put the sump on. The...

It's never a dull moment when you own a K11! I'm certainly an ameteur with this stuff, but I really have come far from when I first started writing this blog, and the only tools I had were some curved pliars, an adjustable spanner, a screwdriver & my own fingers. I'm glad you've had a look, I...

Yesterday, I finally got the courage to reseal my sump. I'm doing it outside my house rather than at my friend's garage for a few reasons, one being that I want all the time I need, and I don't want two oily-clothed people sitting in my new seats. So, first of all, oil out. Good condition oil as...

It rained for many days without stopping. My headlights are letting in a bit of moisture, so I'll need to reseal them. I think I'll just go around them with some gasket goo. For now, I can hide the moisture behind my headlight covers. I've at least pulled the vent caps out and have rolled back...
