Shocks are near new. That's just how they are.. cheap, crappy and scary, but loads of fun. Going to drop the pressures a bit after work today if I remember to. Stopped nose diving since I put the pressures up so gonna drop them down a bit and see how we go.

Just going to paint the standard wheels to freshen them up, not going to mod this much aside from maybe a tacho if I get a good deal on one and some cheap replacement wheels if I find some. And sort out a good floor base for the boot so I can put engines in there.

Don't want to spend on this car aside from general upkeep, that was always the plan.
I fix cars.

and of course this happened to me too... so the car is quite dinged up at the moment.. but slowly working on it...

since I've been gone...

* front strut brace fitted
every car should have one... the difference is imediately noticeable

* D2 adjustable shocks installed
love the look but now have rubbing issues to sort out

* new alarm
with wicked key inside remote fitted...

*100,000Km service done
this has left me with a lumpy idle... i thought it was cool at first but now i am kinda embarrassed by it's tendencies to stall during 3 point and parking manouvres
