	tbh i know it's a bit modern but just a standard set of clears of any kind would be ok, long as they're not too big or some mental shape! PS it, i reckon it'll look cool

	I think Fiesta oval ones would be sufficient?

	yeah possibly. although square/rectangle ones might suit the angles of the car more.

	No, I'm going to go for red oxide steels with chrome centres and whitewalls I think.

	Got my new plates through today! cheapestplates - ebay seller, I'd recommend to anyone. Had to mount new plate lower due to the football crest on the plate (didn't want to drill through it!) and it hasn't left a lot of clearance!

	Yeah, the font was better, but the front one was like a jigsaw puzzle held together with celotape!

	Fitted a K&N filter today. Thanks to Nightmares Racing. Also fitted some air horns. Thanks to Spyke. And I've removed the side repeaters, with a view to fitting them elsewhere, probably on the corner of the bumper or maybe on the top of the 'A' pillar.

	With help from Mark (Nightmaresracing) I managed to sort out my dizzi problem. Below is taken from my post on www.lada.co.uk Many Lada owners will have experienced bad running and misfiring at some point. What we often don't realise is the cause! Most people will put it down to a dodgy carb, curse word in the fuel or plugs, points etc. After consulting Alan Bird with my problems, he suggested that the distributor 'base plate' was at fault, causing the points to unset themselves. I did what he said, getting a trusted garage to replace the plate with a new one from Alan. After a week, I was getting the same problem! I figured the dizzi to be at fault and ordered a new one. Unfortunately, Alan was out of stock, meaning I'd have to wait about a month for delivery! By now the car was running terribly. I decided to try to do some sort of temporary repair. I stripped the dizzi down and tried to figure out what was wrong. The base plate was rising up out of its place causing my running problems. I was attempting to glue it in place when I discovered two broken bits of metal under the screws either side of the point that looked like square 'C's. I realised that these were the remains of square washer type things that held the base plate in place! Voila! I then manufactured some relacement washers from sheet metal and once fitted, the plate was now immobile!!! Seems as though my troubles are gone. I just wanted to share this with everyone, in case similar problems were being encountered. Thanks for reading my inane blather! To put it in a nutshell, no more spitting, backfiring and popping!
