Good to see you are still going 👍

I think what I was trying to say earlier is some aftermarket subframes have repositioned or multiple lateral arm mounts to correct their geometry angle when the car is lowered.

I always found it an interesting modification, although I’ve never heard a before & after from someone who has done it as to whether it was a game changer or hardly noticeable.

Ah yeah I get you now. Definitely not meant to be a change there as I'm not lowering this car. My local roads just would be no fun with the car lowered. My Hawkeye already has plenty of battle scars on the front bumper and undertrays and that's stock height too.

It's only a "quick" (took over 30 hours still) test print in PLA but I'm making progress on the gauge pod to replace the clock. I could just buy one off the shelf but honestly I haven't seen one I'm happy with so here we are having spent far too long trying to design something closer to what I want.

Thats why we modify, to try and get the cars to how we want :thumb:

One small step closer to that ultimate goal.

Have things improved with your neighbour mate.

Not even a little bit. Just about everything I’ve done has been at my flat 20 miles away from the car and parents house. Ok that’s partly because that’s where my good computer and 3D printer are but it’s also about not giving anybody the opportunity to cause problems. They can’t make up ****e about me if I’m not even there.

It’s been a while. The WRX is getting a new home:
