In other news changed the transmission oil on the swift as per service schedule, apparently quite vital after its first 27k as it can knacker the bearings due to all the bits from it being a new box

open for feedback on this, reason i did this was because wing mirrors have the paint rubbed away at the edges, otherside is worse
so wrapped them in CF to see what it looked like and to tidy that up
back on the car
what you reckon, do the otherside or not?

why couldn't ford provide a gearbox drain plug on the IB5 ... its a PITA to pop the end plate off or driveshaft out and tilt the car on a jack

todays job was to clean the brakes, was advised to do this maybe once a year because the calipers dont have dust seals
Smart pads removed
loads of life left on the wilwood pads
calipers off and state of brake deposits
pushed pistons out against some wood
used some wurth brake cleaner to clean up the calipers and pistons
caliper back on
all back together

That wurth break cleaner did a tidy job and I expect it was quick too.

was feeling frisky after work tonight so launched into more weight saving lol
started to cut round the seal line of the boot
all the way round
drilled out spot welds
started tearing bits off
off
line followed quite nicely with the rubber seal i thought
need to tidy up those spot welds somehow, maybe a deep bit of edge trim will do then of course everything is going to be sprayed up nicely when the cage is in
edge trim on
shit removed
about 8kgs there altogether, that coupled with these i also removed
they are 1kg EACH equals about another 10kgs gone
general car pics
fitted the small metal cups instead of the stupid heavy damper vibration weights
bonnet pins arrived
fitted them on
which meant i could get rid of all this shit
