took my front D2 coilover out and apart ... found the problem to be nothing major at all / easy fix... super stocked.
then I moved onto my interior... using the inside of a "Lady of the Night's" handbag as inspiration I whent to work..!

took the panels to three auto trimmers.. all gave me story's about how difficult it is to cover the door cards because of the groove area.. so I decided to do it myself... and not to stroke my own goat.. but it came out Ace. .. close up of groove work...

perfecto!

Fabricated a rear Gurney Wing.. loosely based on the Rocket Bunny Duck wing idea but this one is adjustable. + My first bit of carbon work.. pretty stoked with the outcome.. although at its current setting it feels like im towing a car at freeway speed. To celebrate I gave the car a wash and took some pix :)

done a fair amount of changes .. new suspension arms ( nothing really wrong with old ... just wanted to give it all a freshen up.

Been tuning the suspension towards a grip setting moving towards a grip setting incrementally rather than one shot, so far im enjoying ... front - 10seconds toe out / 8.5 caster / -4.2 camber / 25mm sway bar and Rear -2.5 camber / stock sway / neutral everything else.
New rear exit exhaust with Jap fart cannon
new rear undertray spoiler
Removed Sponsorship decals
been driving it daily a lot more

took it to Roy Hesketh this last weekend just to test settings / changes .. not to do times... so I ran low boost and just had fun. with new rear aero changes ive found I can get into 5th gear on the main straight now, and the car seems to feel more stable at speed. Hesketh has some steep corners.. I found my front end washing out a touch when I started pushing it a bit.. so im very keen to start the next phase in aero work on the front end. Undertray and canards.
