Bloody cars, I've had wobble through my steering wheel for the last few days.
Took the wheel off from the side the wobble was coming from and found a bulge in the tyre

M-Tec they're really cheap but good quality and I've got black diamond predator pads and braking has improved massively

Well, I was looking into buying my brothers Boxster off him but that isn't going to happen, so I've decided the Ibiza is going to have some changes.
First of all a tidy up, get the door fixed and painted, sort the weird rumbling out (after already changing one wheel bearing and it wasn't that!)
Roll the arches a bit more and try to smooth them out.
Get the Porsche seats in.
Make a sump and petrol tank guard.
Lower it all round and quite possibly a chassis notch on the front.
Full polybush to tighten things up.
Paint/ sell the Compomotives
Reseal/ sell the RS's

Obviously it wont all happen at once but bits will start happening soon :)

Small update, had another look for the source of the rumble coming from my car, took the drivers side wheel off, and that has a bulge in the tyre too!So the rs spare is back on again and I need another new tyre! But it has solved the rumbling problem**:)

More problems!
I had the EPC light come up on Saturday on the way to my girlfriends and didn't click that it might be brake light switch until I was there!
Brake lights didn't work as I thought, both Seat and VW parts departments were closed Sunday!
so I had to go early this morning get the part and fit it myself
Easy job to do, no more than 20 minutes including getting tools out.
Fun.

Not really feeling the love for the car at the moment :(
I'm more than likely going to put it up for sale in July after I've been on holiday and look at getting a 350z again! :)

It just feels like I've had it for a long time and I've done what I wanted to with it.
Nice to see people still check my thread :)
