Your car looks really nice.
I miss those roads, the mountains and the views. I have family in the Cape but I have not been there in 8 years. We are planning to be there in December though.

So took delivery of these today.
"new" tyres..... Continental Sport Contact 2's
The rims they came on.... need a good cleaning and then will fit on Saturday and rock 'em for a while and see if it suits Wookie-WP.

So as mentioned earlier, bought a set of Khart's with practically new Conti Sport Contact2's (as I needed better shoes for Wookie-WP, car had some no name brand rubbish tyres) Rims and tyres for the same price as 4x new tyres =
Not sure of the Kharts on the TR .:R32, but being anthracite, I am gonna rock them for a while....

In the week got this package from 1610, wonder if it is fragile??
In package: RCD500 and some 'lil Trees
Replaced this non MP3 h/u (looked like crap as well)
Much better

Awesome update Howie
That RCD looks way nicer than your old HU![]()
#55
ThanksNew HU comes from somebody who looks after his stuff
Previous owner was a slob of note, also seems to have had a custom sound install (due to the splicing into the loom) and seems when he traded the car, they removed the sound and just threw in any old piece of **** looking HU. Much happier now

Needed to have the alignment checked on Wookie-WP, when the tech says, Howie, you seem to have a problem here, LHS
Car was at the dealer last week, seems they decided to lighten Wookie-WP
Had it fixed and soon strongly worded email will be sent to said dealer. They fixed it pronto.

Just caught the end of an epic sunset yesterday around Llandudno, pretty part of Cpt before you get to all the posers hanging out on the Camps Bay main drag.

So as per the "what did you do to your .:R thread" .......
Got news from dealer they're replacing wheel bearings (on back order)Bearings being fubar'd kinda makes sense with the car having being running on an outta spec suspension. Holding thumbs ..... as I hope to get my Milltek pipe this week sometime
