1. The last of the poly bushes.
2. Lightweight pulleys.
3. Sport cat.
4. Engine bay bolt kit.
5. CDF dog bar.
6. Powder Coat the Alloys. Pick up 9 May.
7. New alloy front arms. Bushes fitted.
8. Roof Flap wrapped. By the WWF

Got the flap wrapped in CF for now. Need to build the paint fund up to get the front spoiler done at the same time. God I need the Euro Millions!

Very nice Ian, the wheels look really good with the red nuts and the roof flap looks cool.

Merv must have nerves of steel.

Default Minor Drama

Well the drive up to the Welsh warrior was sedate as Ty is still running in the Speccy.

On the way back I decided to have a more spirited drive down the Tredegar Valley, over the top in Blackwood and then down to Ystrad Mynach but the car did not feel "right" .

Twisties, tight bends and roundabout where not as composed as it was. So, back off and get back to the Bat Cave to have a think and tidy up after the flap fitting.

Shining on the floor was a strip of new balance weights, it appears they are off the nearside rear wheel.

Off to the garage Monday for a word in the ear of the young chap who fitted the tyres and balanced them the day before.

Ian, how do find the pitch mount for transferring transmission noise into the cabin?

I think I'm going to put the standard mount back on.

Haven't tried it yet mate. The car is in the Bat Cave and I am waiting to find out if I can take the front bumper and grill off and drop it to Jarv.

Car is looking great Ian, Ty they don't transmit to much noise really. You get used to it.
