Everyone loves a bit of bokeh.

As always, eternal thanks to the mechanical mastermind @ #TimKnottMotorsports. Coilovers back in and fully SA plated. Might grab the square plate for the rear on the way to work. 8) Next on list is another alignment and machining the front rotors, particularly to remove that groove in the left one. ABS brake gear whenever Tim feels up for it. :lol: and the more exciting one, Wavetrac LSD!

Final cost delivered was just over $1600. Which felt a bit of a hit to the account, but I remind myself it's not a consumable! Was fortunate enough that I got it for the price I was quoted before the AUD fell even more (despite having unexpected GST added on). Still almost $200 cheaper than it would have been now.
Will be expecting that to arrive in a couple weeks. See if anything else is worn out when the gearbox is opened up also.

After that, just little things to tidy up. Swapping the UAS intake onto white car and figuring out filter option, drivers seat belt clip is a bit worn, might tint the tail lights red.

Yep. It's cocking to the side part way through a rotation and jamming on the bellhousing. (correct me if I'm wrong Tim lol)
