What have you done to your car today?

I'm fairly sure the only way to lose traction in that car is via understeer, I'm not sure it can break it from power (or the lack of). :p

It can, but it is literally only for a split second. Unless its wet, in which case you can manage perhaps a couple of seconds. :p
 
Cleaned car with car shampoo today - first time since November - I just used hose and microfibre sponge just to get dirt off before - It's come up quite good as I gave it a Collinite wax in November.

Change to summer wheels tomorrow if it's fine.

Spent 15 minutes polishing my tips :o Should have it fitted on Wednesday - can't wait. I need to give them a proper scrub over the weekend to get rid of the remaining carbon, and clean the inside of the pipes to get those looking sparkly (currently caked in carbon).

I couldn't find my usual Autosol, nor the wire wool, so I gave them a very gentle clean (very little pressure) with Cillit Bang and a Brillo pad :p Worked a treat and seemed to remove a fair amount of carbon deposits. There's still a few more which will need a bit more elbow grease but I'll wait until I've got some double/triple 00 grade wire wool.
 
Replaced all six bulbs in the car today. Two dim beam, two main beam and two cornering lights with the Philips 130% extra bright bulbs. Whether they're any brighter or not is yet to be seen tonight :)

Tell you what, I'd hate to have to replace them if I had larger hands :l

Re-profiled, retrimmed wheel with alcantara sides, should hopefully be here in two weeks.
 
Is that the genuine Nismo wheel? Looks good. :)

e; wait, I clearly cant read. Looks similar to the Nismo one, only with a flat bottom.

I believe he uses the frame from a Juke, re-profiles the bottom and then trims it as requested. It looks so much better than the standard wheel!
 
Washed it ready for the (wet :() weekend away.

Was quite impressed with the fabric beading:
