today i finished my master cylinder brace, painted and installed it, and sent the plans to the laser cutters for a price to slice up a batch for production maybe.

Speaking of wheel alignments, got one done today and the car is soooo much more stable and my steering wheel is straight again

cant remember if i posted this but ive been working on a shift/overboost light by moving the high beam indicator into another position and using the emanage to switch it if it overboosts or at my set shift point.
I'm making new gauges as my 8 year old ones are def showing thier age.

Reminds me of something...

Going to be putting new springs in this weekend to make my baby look nice. Cant wait to get the Bilsteins back in as roundabouts are a little scary.

Speaking of roundabouts I think I saw the Iheartstance car except it had some little guy in it with glasses and Im pretty sure he was yelling something about missing a wheel

Brilliant.

Swapped over to the new ecu. Struggling to connect via cable though... why do they make them connect with serial? That's a dead technology right there if you ask me

Put some oil in the gearbox turret, new nylon nut and top and bottom seals. Replaced some insulation and now have a gear Chang like that of a well oiled bolt action riffle. It amazing now.

Hi Chris, that was me on Beach rd.

Sorry I didn't quite see you and waved as you went passed. I was busy watching the gauges as it was my first real drive of the car with Keiths motor etc installed. I was also trying to keep my head down as the first version of the exhaust was WAY too loud, I had 2 cops almost do a U turn to "talk" but it must have been end of shift or something cause I could tell they they thought about it and then couldn't be bothered.

I love your car and the colour (white has been on my mind for awhile).

Looked great!

Would you like to borrow a few 100kg's of cement to bring the rear down to even it out?

What'd you do to your car this week/weekend?

It's like an action riffle...
