Stripped and cleaned and reassembled the alternator for the V8. Fitted my swish new JL audio 0AWG battery terminals. Sorted out a correct length aux belt, and painted the pulleys. Emma came along too and made a clock out of the old auto driveplate!

LexIS200Sport The Supra that I sat in was an amazing car, and credits to her owner :wink:

But I think I'm more of a saloon guy and my left foot is getting a bit lazy these days (or maybe I'm just getting old!).

So the Galant VR-4, which to me looks pretty agressive even when stock, coupled with it's silky autobox (from what I've read), and all that 4WD tech got me thinking... :laugh:

Normally I wash wax and polish it myself but the inside needed a good going over so i went the lazy route and took it for a mini valet then took some photos before it could get rained on, its the first time i've taken new photos since I swapped the headlamps for darker ones, so they add to the darker rims, darker side repeaters and black grille:

Unlucky! I'm alternating between punctures and parking tickets, 1 a week for the past month so far!! I'm sure it's only a matter of time before that escalates...
